Fur
Furs are a product of tanning fresh animal skin.
Foreign traders come to Finland to buy furs (and nothing else). They look for only the most valuable ones, like fox fur.

Quality
There are five qualities (from best to worst) for fur:
- superior
- fine
- decent (it just reads "fur" instead of "fine/etc. fur")
- harsh
- ragged
Note: According to Sami (the developer), quality is only important for the trade value and not in crafting (sources: Sami on fur quality, Thread on quality)
Value
The values of furs for trading has no correlation with the usefulness of furs for player crafting. Fox fur is extremely valuable for traders in contrast to bear fur, which is the most protective of all furs.
Example: In v3.14 an inferior bear fur (21 lb) is less valuable than a normal fox fur (<1 lb) to foreign traders.

URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes fur thusly:
Fur is mainly used in the winter-time when many pieces of clothing which are usually made of linen or wool are replaced by fur counterparts. Fur is mainly used to keep its' wearer warm but it can also give some considerable protection - although it's cumbersome to move about especially in very big, heavy fur garments.
