I know we haven’t had much carnage here at Closettour, but it’s 2012, and there’s a first for everything. I recently shadowed John Zander, muskrat trapper extraordinaire, on his mission through a South Jersey marsh.
There, the wet mud has extreme suction power and there are foxholes – as in, where foxes live. There are also deer, mink, and red-tailed hawks. John’s uncle Tommy showed me old arrowheads he found on the property, and it’s rumored the pirate Blackbeard and his crew had a hideout there. It’s a different kind of Jersey shore.
Want to find out how the creatures in the crate above become a garment like the vest below? (I’m sopping as I model, from a morning on the marsh.) Read the whole story this week in New York Magazine!
And…an old post on fur, here!.
