Sheared Fur Coat
A sheared fur coat is just one way your furrier can alter your coat.

Do you have an old fur coat that has been sitting in the back of your closet for years with no use? You may not have a place to wear the coat, or you may not like the style. Either way, this expensive coat doesn’t have to go to waste. You may want to hang onto it because it belonged to a relative or your significant other gave it to you as a gift. If you want to get more use out of your fur coat, consider fur restyling to give your coat a new life.

One of the ways you can take advantage of fur restyling for your fur coat is to change the overall style of the coat. In this case, your
furrier may cut away some of the fur and create a new style. Other options include adding embellishments to the coat or making other changes to the coat itself. However, these aren’t the only ways that your furrier can restyle your fur.

Another part of fur restyling is to remove some of the hair from the coat. During this process, the furrier will shear the fur coat,
similar to shearing a sheep or cutting your grass. This will shorten the hair on the fur coat and create an entirely new look for your coat. The fur will be softer and have a different look than when the fur was left longer.

If given enough time, a furrier can completely take your coat apart and start all over from scratch. This allows you to create a
completely new style for your coat. You can make changes to the way it fits you or to the type of coat that it was. For instance, you may have had a loose-fitting, full-length coat, but now you want a shorter, tight-fitting coat. Taking the fur coat apart and piecing it back together in a new style can accomplish this feat.

Fur restyling is something you should consider if you have an old fur coat taking up space in the back of your closet. These fur coats are
meant to last you a long time. If you aren’t getting the wear out of your coat in its current condition, your furrier can make numerous changes to the coat that will make it more useable for you in the future. This can help you to get the most out of your or your family member’s investment.
