Shopping for a new real fur coat is exciting! You have so many different options to choose from and can even customize different ones to fit your liking. However, it’s natural to sometimes feel overwhelmed with all of the options available, so we are here to help you narrow them down. When you consider these factors when fur shopping, you’ll have a great experience and find the perfect fur you’ve envisioned.

Pay Attention To The Texture

It’s important to try different types of fur coats on so you know what texture you like. Some furs could irritate sensitive skin, so this can help you eliminate certain types. Mink fur is widely regarded as one of the softest and most comfortable types of fur coats you can own. As a result, it’s often one of the first types people consider. Remember you might wear your real fur coat all day, so if one is uncomfortable when you try it on in the store, you might want to look at other options.

Select The Color You’re Comfortable With

Furs are available in many different colors today. You could make a bold statement with brighter shades or stay neutral with a combination of gray, black, brown, or white. First-time fur buyers often stay with neutral colors that will match well with many different outfits. And if you want to experiment with different colors, you can always shop for real fur accessories to pair with your outfit and explore the colors you might like for your next fur coat.

Examine The Fur For Any Type Of Damage Or Signs Of Aging

Any time you shop for a real fur coat, you should examine it for damage or signs of aging. When cared for properly, furs can last a lifetime. However, if the leather is brittle or the fur is patchy, you should avoid it at all costs. Sometimes minor issues can be repaired without hurting its longevity, but larger issues can’t be fixed. Holes, shredded fur, or rips could be an indication of moths or other problems with the fur, which will only worsen over time. It’s particularly important to give the fur a thorough examination if you’re buying a vintage option, and it could be worth your time to have it evaluated by a professional furrier as well.

Always Keep Your Style At The Top Of Your Mind

It can be easy to get lost in all of the details furs have to offer. But it’s important to not lose sight of the overall style you’re aiming for. If you tend to wear subtle outfits and want to continue that trend, then neutral colors are ideal. But if you want to make a fashion statement for a certain event, then you have plenty of options to choose from as well. It’s perfectly reasonable to think you will have your fur for the rest of your life, so think about all the different places you would wear it before you purchase it.

Purchase Your Fur From A Reputable Furrier

One of the most important factors to consider when shopping for a real fur coat is to only buy one from a reputable furrier. There are plenty of stores selling faux fur today, which won’t give you the results you’re looking for. Plus, if you want new fur, you should be able to shop with confidence knowing your fur is authentic and hasn’t been previously worn or repurposed.
