Depending on what temperatures you'd expect where you live, fur could be a great option for the environment. Well made fur cloaks can last generations (source: I'm still using my grandpa's fur coat).
Compared to, say, a gore-tex jacket, it's great for the environment. But the life of a fur animal isn't always great.
Personally I prioritize keeping seas free of plastics over the quality of some goats' or minks' life, but I get that for some, that choice will be different.
I just wish everyone understood that that is the choice.A lot of people see fur and see red.
Same goes with "vegan leather" which my car's seats are made of. It's nice and all, and easy to clean which is great, but I do feel torn about the extra (and easily avoidable) plastic.
