Fur Coats Refurbishing

Fur coats are an excellent investment, keeping their value and providing you with many years of use. However, the styles of furs can change quickly, leaving you with an investment you aren’t interested in wearing because it doesn’t suit your style any longer. Today, you can trust your furrier to refurbish your fur coats using a variety of methods to change the look and style of your coat.

Shearing

Shearing is a method of shortening the outer furs on a fur coat, creating an entirely different look for the fur. You won’t have to deal with the longer furs that can quickly become dirty and may not lie in the proper direction. Instead, you will experience shorter fur that still provides high levels of warmth and a different look.

Dyeing

Another easy option to change the look of your fur coats is to dye it a different color. It is important to talk to your furrier about what colors are an option for the fur you already have. Some people prefer to use more natural colors, while others choose to use bright colors that really make an impression.

Lining

If you like the way your fur looks but the inside is wearing out, you may want to take it to your furrier to get it relined. The furrier will be able to remove the current lining of your coat, inspect the fur and clean it before adding a new lining to give you a brand new coat.

Plucking

One of the lesser known methods of changing your fur coats is plucking the fur. Through this method, your furrier will carefully remove the longer coarse hairs that make up the outer layer of the coat. This will leave behind the softer under fur, creating a beautiful fur coat that looks like it is new.

There are many methods your furrier can use to change up the look of fur coats. Whether you want a complete fur restyling to create a new coat or you prefer one of the minor refurbishments, such as shearing, dyeing or plucking, you will enjoy a beautiful coat without having to invest the money in a brand new one. You can simply make some changes to your current coat and save your money for another time when you are ready to invest in a new fur coat.
