A furry piece of clothing

Hello,

Does "He wore a furry hat/coat and leather shoes" sound odd? I personally think that a piece of clothing can be described as "furry" but quite a few people disagree, so I am starting to think that I am wrong. What do you think?


Thank you.

If you just mean that it is made from fur (or possibly imitation fur), say "fur hat" or "fur coat". "furry hat" and "furry coat" are less usual but not impossible. By using "furry" you seem to be making more of a pronounced comment on the texture.
