The fur measures about two and one-half inches in length. It is used mainly for muffs and neck, shoulder pieces. [4] The trapping of fishers is restricted in many States leading to it becoming a more uncommon type of fur in comparison to the mink. Fisher fur is more durable and water resistant than other types of fur such as fox. [7]
