In our last blog post, we talked about finding the right type of fur to best suit your needs. With all the types of fur available for winter fur coats, it can be a difficult decision. However, this is not the only decision you will face as you consider your options for real fur coats. There are many aspects you must consider to ensure you choose the right option for you and your needs.

The Fur Parts

Before you purchase any furs, it is essential to understand what makes up a real fur coat. This can help you tell the difference between a real and a faux fur so you get what you expect. Most individuals are aware of the guard hairs because these are the longer hairs that most people will see. These furs cover the finer, softer furs that are located underneath. These under hairs are the ones that give furs their incredible warmth. If you find a fur coat that only features one layer of fur or doesn’t have a distinct sheen to it that is often found in natural furs, it is likely to be a faux fur instead.

The Pelt Origin

Where a pelt comes from can play a significant role in the quality of your fur coat. Every type of fur should come from a different area of the world to ensure you are getting the highest quality in your real fur coat. Learning where certain furs should come from allows you to make the best possible choice for your fur coats. For instance, if you want the best mink fur possible for your fur coat, choose furs that came from the United States. However, other furs should come from other locations, such as fox from Finland and beaver from Canada. If it is unclear where the furs were harvested, ask your furrier to find out.

Consider the Style

Once you have settled on the type of fur and are confident you know where to get the highest quality in furs, you can focus on choosing the right style. For instance, some individuals love the luxurious feel of a long fur coat, while others choose a shorter winter fur coat to best meet their need. Another important choice is whether you want a fur coat made from one type of fur or one that is made from several types. Sometimes the look of multiple types of furs can provide you with a unique look to set you apart.

Finding the right real fur coat is essential to your comfort and your sense of style. A good place to start is choosing the type of fur that appeals to your sense of style and your budget. Once you know what type of fur you want, you can focus on other aspects, such as making sure you are purchasing a real fur coat and what style you want for your fur coat. Remember, this coat is designed to last a long time.
