The ferret's fur has a number of positive properties - it is warm, soft, thick, shiny and moisture resistant. Externally, ferret coats are almost as good as luxurious mink coats, but at the same time they are much more affordable. The hairs of the ferret's fur are not uniform in height and color, thanks to which the products made from such fur are truly unique.
Fur fur coats are rather light and elastic due to a rather thin core, but their thermal conductivity does not suffer from this. True, with regard to the wear resistance of ferret coats, such products cannot be called favorites, however, a well-made ferret fur coat with careful handling will be worn for at least five seasons.
Models
The most common and popular model of a fur coat from a ferret is a classic, straight or trapezoidal silhouette.
Traditional styles never expire and go out of fashion.
Of the long styles, the swinger or the mantle is still popular. It is a fur coat about a meter long with a free sleeve, sewn in the shape of a trapezium and often equipped with a fur belt.
French is a fur product from a ferret of medium length in a straight cut, suitable for girls and women of any age. Often sewn with cuts on the sides.
From the shortened models, all kinds of fur jackets in length up to the waist or to the hips are in demand. Such models are especially popular with car owners. These coats can be straight or loose-fitting, with a stand-up collar or a fold-over collar, with a hood or belt, and all sorts of shapes and lengths of sleeves.
Like many other types of fur, the polemist is also sheared. And they only cut, not pluck, this is due to the fact that the undercoat of this animal is not particularly thick, and thus, the trimmed “stumps” of the guard hairs serve as a kind of support for the studs.
Fur coats from a cropped ferret look very original and interesting, they become light due to the fact that long guard hairs with dark ends are cut, and only in the region of the cross there are dark pieces of fur.
Other long-haired fur types — silver fox, fox, or raccoon — are often used as a hood or collar of ferret coats.
One of the fashion trends are models that combine ferret fur with leather or suede. Leather can be belts, sleeves, collars, inserts on the sides and in the waist.
The ferret’s fur blends in well with knitwear, as a rule, these are sleeves, elastic bands at the bottom of jackets, cuffs or shale collars. There are models in which the ferret occupies less than half the product area, that is, the polecats are just used for finishing leather, knitted or textile outerwear items.
Length
Fur coats from the ferret length to the ground - a rarity, and the demand for them is small due to their small practicality.
The products of medium length are more popular - they will warm and do not get dirty in the slush. In addition, under a knee-length fur coat, you can hook up both an evening dress and trousers of your favorite style.
For girls and women leading an active lifestyle, shortened fur coats are indispensable - they are easy to move in both public transport and private cars.
Of course, you should not get a short fur coat, if you have to hang around for stops at the bus stops, waiting for the bus, it’s better if you don’t have enough money for an elongated product, buy a down jacket.
Colour
The most common and expensive coloring fur Horya - black with ebb, it is a forest pole ferret.
Fur coats from the steppe polecat are brown in color, because of the light whitish podushi the color of the finished products plays and shimmers.
There is also a rare albino ferret, the fur coats are white in color. The colors of forest ferret hybrids with other species are very diverse and rich in their color palette: golden-red, mother-of-pearl-cream and ash-white.
Painted fur coats of the ferret are not particularly common, they lose the charm of natural coloring and the original combination of a light podushi with darkish villus fur.
How to choose?
Choosing a ferret fur coat, first of all pay attention to the style, it should sit on you well, not constrain movements, but also not “hang out”, besides, you must remember that the most important task of outerwear is to emphasize the existing advantages of the figure and hide it limitations.
Too full legs will hide the products to the ankle, and a trapezoidal silhouette will help mask the volumetric hips and abdomen. And do not forget to emphasize the waist area with a belt.
- Before you pay for your favorite ferret coat, pay attention to the quality of the fur and the sewing of the garment as a whole. Fur should not be poured, painted or smelled badly.
- Look under the lining, it should be sewn only in the air (the only exception is fur coats with elastic on the bottom), assess the color and density of the core, as well as the quality of the seams.
- If you have any doubts, ask the seller for a certificate for the products sold.
Reviews
Reviews on fur coats from ferrets are generally quite good, some happy owners wear such items for five to seven years.
Of course, the ferret's fur, like any other, requires a careful attitude to itself - if the fur coat is wet, it should be dried only at room temperature, in the summer it should be stored in a fabric case and be ventilated at least once a month.
In general, ferret coats are not cheap, they are only slightly inferior in price to mink of inexpensive brown colors, but such products are worn perfectly, warm well and even are able to withstand wet snow.
Fur coats made from uncut stubble skins are not recommended by a car driver, since a long nap breaks off at places often in contact with various surfaces. And its owner advised to wear a short ferret at a temperature not lower than 15 degrees, because of the not too thick undercoat in a frost in such a fur coat can be frozen.
