Everyone has a unique personality and we all show ours in different ways. Some people show theirs off in their interactions with other people. Others choose to showcase their personality in their wardrobe. The great thing about wearing fur is there are so many different types of fur coats that you will surely find the perfect one to match your personality. Part one of our two-part blog discusses some of the many different types of fur coats available to choose from.

Mink Fur

Mink fur is one of the top choices for a real fur coat for both men and women across the country. Not only is a mink fur coat one of the most comfortable you can wear, but it is also durable and you can expect it to look great for many years. Of course, the level of care you provide to it is important to extend the lifespan as much as possible. Mink fur is lightweight enough to be worn in cooler and warmer weather since the fur is shorter and lighter. The breathability of a mink fur coat is second to none so it’s easy to see why it’s such a popular choice.

Chinchilla Fur

A chinchilla real fur coat is known for being incredibly thick. To put the thickness in perspective, humans grow a single hair from a follicle, but a chinchilla grows 50 hairs in a single follicle. Natural chinchilla fur has a gray-silver color on top and a darker underfur. And despite the thickness of the fur, it’s still one of the lightest furs you will buy. It’s widely regarded as premium fur, and the price tag typically reflects it.

Beaver Fur

Beaver fur has a very thick underfur to provide the ultimate warmth. What makes beaver fur unique is it’s available in different colors ranging from dark brown to golden brown and even has a silver tint. The long and coarse beaver fur makes it one of the most comfortable types of fur coats you can own.

Fox Fur

If you’re shopping for different types of fur coats, chances are you’ll find that fox fur is prominent. It’s available in numerous colors and is widely available across the country. Fox fur has long been one of the most popular types of fur coats in its traditional golden-red color. However, fox fur is often dyed in other colors to meet the unique styles people have.

Raccoon Fur

Raccoon fur is not quite as popular as the other types of furs on this list, but it’s still widely available throughout the United States. The color combinations of black, gray, white, and silver make for a neutral coat you can wear to many different occasions. With proper care, raccoon fur can last for many years and still look great.

Rabbit Fur

Rabbit fur is one of the most affordable types of furs on this list and it’s very versatile. The problem with rabbit fur is it sheds easily due to the nature of the fur, so it doesn’t have as long of a lifespan as other types of fur coats. But still, the value it provides makes it worth it since you don’t have to break the bank to buy a new one each time.

Coyote Fur

Coyote fur traditionally did not have much value, but its popularity has increased over the years. It’s long-haired fur that has a unique tan, gray, and brown color with pale-colored underfur. The thick underfur provides a significant amount of warmth making it a great option throughout the winter months.
