The underfur is soft, making it comfortable to wear. The guard hair is known for its medium density. The female mink is known for its softer fur, as well as its narrower stripes. This makes it a more sought after fur for jackets and coats. The fur coats and jackets made from female mink are also lighter in weight because of the lighter leather it possesses. Mink is available in a wide variety of colors and styles, including luxurious strollers, such as the Diamond Cut Mink with Black Fox Stroller. For a more cropped or casual look, the Dyed Purple Mink Jacket is a beautiful choice as well.
