"Thank you, York Furrier, for warming my life. I love my earmuffs, my scarf and my coat. Even on the coldest of the cold days, I have been wonderfully warm with my alpaca coat. Your service is outstanding; your staff welcoming and knowledgeable. I appreciate the assistance in finding a coat that was exactly what I had in mind. When people ask where I purchased my coat, I happily refer them to York Furrier."

"I brought my vintage mink to York for cleaning and repair. The turnaround was quick and the quality was superb. Attention to detail + experience + courtesy = satisfied customer. They were also nice enough to give me tips on future care of my hand-me-down. Next – bringing in some leather jackets."


-Laura Caragher



"York is the only place we trust to handle our needs. They have the knowledge, experience, and longevity that “fur salons” do not. Their quality is of the highest caliber, staff is extremely courteous, and they even have delivery & pick up. Finally they always go above and beyond with the service & my expectations."

 "York Furrier first got my attention about 20 years ago, when they agreed to help out The Lombard Juniors at their annual fashion show. I was amazed at the time and effort they put forth to make sure that our event was a success. Not only do they have beautifully fashioned and quality furs, but they're a very real part of our community. They have helped so many local organizations and philanthropic endeavors succeed in helping raise money for those that need it the most. We are blessed to have them in our neighborhood! Thank you York Furrier!"


-Caryn Kuhlman



"I have purchased all my furs here after a bad experience with another furrier's service. York is quality, unique furs and service. I would not consider buying a fur anywhere else and personally recommend."


-Janet Wilmoth



"Purchased a new fur coat and had it altered.  Salesman was a very knowledgeable and courteous.  Alterations were done correctly.  Company picked up the fur in the spring and stored it."

"I have been using York Furrier exclusively for over 30 years.  I remember seeing the founder sitting in the chair greeting the customers like me as we walked in.  Great family owned 3rd generation business.  John and Kathy and their entire staff are reliable and so knowledgeable and helpful too!

"I had an excellent experience shopping for, and purchasing a shearling coat for the fall & winter season. Hard to believe but I can't wait for it to get colder so I can show off my new fashion. Downtown Elmhurst is a great place to shop, have some lunch, or stay for dinner. Everyone needs to stop and shop at York Furrier, easy parking and great customer service. It's the real deal!"

"Back in April of 2007 my father took me on an African hunting safari, it always was his lifelong dream to take me there on a hunting trip. We had an amazing time harvesting 11 animals in total from Red Hartebeest, Warthog, Kudu, Zebra, Gemsbuck, Blue Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbuck, and a Red Lechwe that my father harvested. It was absolutely an amazing trip and I will never forget it because it was the last hunting trip I did with my father. Unfortunately, in August of that same year my father passed away. He never got to see his animals mounted, what a shame. For my father taking me to Africa I wanted to thank him by making a coat for him from all of the animals we had harvested. I had saved the hides from the Kudu, the Blue Wildebeest, and the Gemsbuck. They have been sitting on my railing of my house for years as decoration because my idea had been crushed as a result of my father’s passing. A couple months ago I walked by them and had a brainstorm, Why not make the coat for myself as a tribute to my best friend, my father. So in turn, I met an amazing man named John Rezny, owner of York Furrier located in Elmhurst,IL. He assisted me greatly on this idea and said he would love to make the coat for me. For the next few months, myself, John and his tailor Wally (who by the way is an amazing tailor) worked on making this coat the best it can be. After a few months the coat was complete and words cannot explain how it made me feel upon completion. John and Wally, I cannot thank you enough for your amazing work on this wonderful coat. I will cherish it forever. My father’s legend will live through me forever. That is why I created GVK11 Outdoors. If you guys get a chance, stop by York Furrier in Elmhurst, IL on York Street. The people are amazing, the craftsmanship is unheard of, and the atmosphere is great. I can honestly say I am so happy I met John and Wally, this coat will pass on to my son one day and the legacy will live on."

"Great service and beautiful coats. They will take good care of you."

What an amazing experience buying a coat here! Definitely service is their top priority. The price is fair for all the service we got, they even included the tailoring. We looked around at a lot of furriers and none could compare to York. They also had leather coats, gloves, scarves, and hats. This is the place to go when you need fine 'outer wear'. They offer it all.

The best furs and styles in town! Friendly atmosphere with the cutest marriage team as owners. They are one of the oldest establishments left in Elmhurst. Lots of care and knowledge goes into each fur. A great team that works in the back to do stitching and any alterations that are needed. So many furs and leathers to pick from and enjoy! Nice place for storage also. I have been going there for years and highly recommend this place. Once you go, you'll keep coming back.
