# Bloomingdale's Fur or Hair (Women's Blazers, Women's Coats, Women's Jackets and 4 more) Field Guide

> All fur (trim or body) must have a fur form filled out by the vendor stating the animal type of fur, treatment (natural/dyed) & the country of origin. Note Asiatic vs. northern raccoon (state specific animal). For fur trim, specify location (hood lining, hood trim, inner bib, etc.) Never say “pony” hair; it is either “cow hair “or “calf hair” and needs a fur form. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Fur or Hair** is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's outerwear department. It describes any fur, hair or shearling on a coat or jacket: what it is, what it is made of and where it sits (hood trim, collar, lining). Bloomingdale's prints the value as a feature bullet on the product page, and its content team reads it to confirm the item meets the company's fur policy.

Bloomingdale's requires a completed fur form from the vendor for any real fur, stating the animal, whether it is natural or dyed, and the country of origin, with the specific animal named (Asiatic raccoon rather than raccoon). Osello does not list real fur through this field: it describes faux fur with its fiber, genuine or faux shearling, and calf or cow hair, and leaves the field blank on a coat with none of those. Bloomingdale's own definition adds a naming rule that trips up many brands: "pony hair" does not exist as a material. The hide is cow hair or calf hair, and it must be called that.

## The rules

| Rule | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No. Blank when the source says nothing about fur, hair or shearling |
| Level | Colorway. One value per color, shared by all of its sizes |
| Length | Up to 254 characters, spaces included |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Faux fur | Name the fiber: "Faux fur (polyester)" |
| Trim | Name the location: hood trim, collar, cuffs, inner bib, lining |
| Hair | "Calf hair" or "Cow hair", never "pony hair" |
| Shearling | Call it shearling, and say genuine or faux |

The fur form is paperwork that sits outside the listing; the field carries the description. Since the value is shared by every size of a colorway, describe the trim, never the color of the trim on one size.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Faux fur (polyester) trim at hood | Good | Faux, fiber and location |
| Genuine shearling lining | Good | Material and where it is |
| Calf hair panels at front | Good | Correct name for the hide |
| Removable faux-fur collar (acrylic) | Good | Fiber given, removable noted |
| Pony hair trim | Weak | Not a real material; use calf hair or cow hair |
| Fur-trimmed hood | Weak | Neither real or faux nor fiber nor animal |
| Cozy fur collar for cold days. | Weak | Sentence with a period, no material |

## Common mistakes

- Writing "fur" alone. The reviewer cannot tell faux from real, and the shopper cannot either.
- Skipping the fiber on faux fur. Bloomingdale's asks for it, and the swatch cannot show it.
- Using "pony hair". Rename it to calf hair or cow hair.
- Filling the field on a coat with no fur, hair or shearling. Blank is the correct value.
- Listing the hood construction here. Fixed, detachable and drawstring details belong in [Hood](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb2-womens-outerwear); this field takes the trim material only.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello fills Fur or Hair per colorway on women's outerwear listings: one value for a color, shared by all of its sizes, so a colorway with a faux-fur hood and a trimless one can differ. The AI reads the product description first, then the product attributes, then the images, and writes at most 254 characters with no trailing period. It only fills the field when the source data mentions fur, hair or shearling, names faux fur with its fiber and its location, and renames "pony hair" to calf hair or cow hair. Set your house fiber names with [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions). The same field exists for [women's tops](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb11-womens-tops), [women's dresses](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb13-womens-dresses) and [women's bottoms](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb6-womens-bottoms).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Fur or Hair required on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional in the women's outerwear department. Fill it only when the garment has fur, hair or shearling, real or faux.

### How do I describe a faux-fur hood trim?

Name it faux, give the fiber and the location: "Faux fur (polyester) trim at hood". Add "removable" when the trim detaches.

### Why can't I write "pony hair"?

Bloomingdale's does not accept the term. The hide is cow hair or calf hair, and a listing that says pony hair is corrected or held. Use the accurate name.

### Does a shearling lining count as fur?

Yes. Bloomingdale's groups shearling with fur and hair. Write "Genuine shearling lining" or "Faux shearling lining (polyester)" depending on what it is.
