Dyed Red Sheared Mink
Fur Restyling
Dying coats is just one way to complete fur restyling on older coats.

When most people think of fur restyling, they think of changing the style of the furs themselves. While this is certainly one of your options, there are ways to change the look of the coat by changing the fur itself. If you love the overall style of the coat but would like to update it, consider talking to your furrier about the fur changes that are possible. These changes will make your coat look brand new without making any major changes.

Shorten the Pile

The pile refers to the length of the outer hairs on fur coats. These hairs are often long, but the exact length of the hairs will depend on the type of fur you have. This fur is often coarse because it is responsible for shedding water and keeping animals clean and dry. However, the hairs underneath are quite soft and are responsible for giving the furs their warmth. If you are looking to make some changes to your fur coat, shearing off the longer, coarse outer hairs will reveal the soft hairs underneath and create an entirely new look for your coat.

Change the Texture

An experienced furrier can use various techniques that will change the texture of the furs themselves. This can create a unique look for your fur coats that you wouldn’t otherwise have. Everyone will ask you where you got a fur coat with that kind of texture to it. Your furrier can show you what he is capable of doing with your furs so you can make the right decision.

Dye Your Furs

Most people don’t even think about dying their furs. However, this can be a great way to change the look of your coat without making any other major changes. An experienced furrier can change your furs into just about any color. You may wish to change it to another natural shade, such as gray, black or brown, or you may want to try something a little bolder, such as red or purple. Your furrier can make suggestions based on the natural color of your fur.

Changing your fur through fur restyling can mean making many kinds of changes. If you are happy with the overall style of your coat, there are minor changes you can make to give your coat a new look. An experienced furrier can shear the coat, give the fur texture or even dye the fur another color so you can enjoy a brand new look.
