Thanked: 13234I was looking at some Fur info blogs and although that was useless for this question I found this statement which was pretty interesting keep in mind they are not talking about Badger Hair but Badger Fur but the coloring struck a chord with me that I found interesting
"Badger is long-haired and is generally used unplucked, except for the grotzen (the long, mane-like guard hairs running down the back), which is plucked. It’s a wild fur, with the color varying, depending on where the badger is from. The best badger has a natural silvery tint. Canadian badger is gray with pale white underfur, while badger from the US has gray guard hairs and creamy underfur. Asiatic (China) badger has a yellowish-brown underfur and gray guard hair. North American badger is softer and fuller than other badger. Badger is so durable that a coat can wear for years, given good care and regular cleaning"

Interesting, particularly the part about the North American badger fur being fuller and softer.
