The fur coat is that element of the wardrobe, without which it is practically impossible to do in conditions of cold and long winters. The product made of natural material gives confidence and a sense of luxury to its owner.
The beaver fur coat not only looks beautiful, but it also protects from bad weather, cold and wind, snow and even a light rain, because it is made from the skin of a waterfowl animal.
What does a fur beaver look like?
The beaver's fur is thick and hard, rather long. Its natural color is brown, and non-uniform, since there is a natural transition from a dark shade to a light shade.
Natural not clipped material is quite heavy, which is one of the characteristic signs by which you can distinguish a beaver from another fur. Because of its rough texture, weight and stiffness, it was used only for men's clothing for a long time, but now such coats are an integral part of women's departments.
However, female models are most often made of pinned or cropped fur. The process is that a hard guard hair is pulled out of the fur cloth. Such a fur coat is easier than uncut, it's still the same warm, but it costs a lot of money, because the thinning procedure is done manually and takes a lot of time.
And, finally, a cross between these two options is a shorn beaver. Hard hair is cut along the length to the level of the undercoat, due to which the fur coat becomes soft, visually velvety, plush. This technology does not reduce the cost, but allows you to search for new solutions in modeling, because the trimmed fur looks neater, more gentle.
Despite the fact that part of the wool is clipped, the fur continues to keep its positive qualities. The fur coat of the cropped beaver is warm, because the undercoat is primarily responsible for this characteristic. He also protects against moisture, which is often the cause of damage to expensive things.
The product made of this fur is notable for its durability, so that with proper care, a real fur coat from a beaver can last almost twenty years. The villi themselves possess the strength, which are held with such force that even after a time, bald spots and scuff marks do not appear on the product.
Models
There are fur coats from Canadian and Russian beaver:
- The Russian beaver is worse in quality, and fur coats from it are more of a handicraft business due to the small amount of population and rare hunting trophies from these animals.
- Fur coats from the Canadian beaver are sewn in volumes of mass production, since only they have such rare "farms" of this beast. In addition, their fur is thicker due to the northern habitat.
From a beaver they sew both short fur coats and long coats, knee-length.
The most popular styles - trapezoidal silhouettes, straight and fitted.
Rarely, but still there are overseas fur coats, but since a beaver is a heavy material, not every woman will risk such a product.
The most common is a straight knee-length coat, worn with or without a belt.
The most common element on the beaver fur coat is a large collar. Moreover, unlike, for example, minks, this type of fur is rarely combined with others. Instead, a beaver of different processing is combined, with a cropped collar on the sheared model.
Very often on the shelves you can find fur coats with a stand-up collar, on which most often there are large decorative buttons. There are models and with hoods, which in the lowered state, looking like a collar.
In creating beaver fur coats, fashion designers adhere to the rule of minimalism, because this fur is ranked as a noble one, which means that the simpler the style, the more attention will be paid to the material.
Color solutions
The beaver's fur has a pleasant saturated brown-red color with a natural transition from dark to light, it is also the most common. The variety of colors in these coats is not the biggest and it is built around a natural shade. Fur can be toned, getting a darker brown or even black. There is also a clarification of beaver skins to red and cream colors. Unnatural color, for example, blue, is very rare.
Whitening is also possible, although it is rather difficult to achieve a completely white shade. However, it should be understood that in order to so brighten dark brown, the skin must be subjected to serious processing, which reduces the quality of the material and the duration of service of the product itself.
At the same time they are even more expensive than the dark models. More common are cream, beige, pearl shades, although there are also completely white.
Reviews
Since for sewing a fur coat from a beaver it is necessary to use the fur of wild animals, but not specially grown on farms, the price is appropriate, from fifty thousand for a short fur coat and from seventy for an average length. The price depends on the length of the product, color, model and the availability of finishes from another fur. When buying a fur coat, you should be careful and look at the price, as the beaver sellers may try to slip the rabbit. And although the price of such a fur coat is significantly lower (about thirty thousand rubles), its wear resistance is lower than that of a beaver.
Judging by the reviews, many find it difficult to say about the differences between the beaver and the rabbit, which they give out for it, which is why there is a general confusion in the preliminary estimate. Owners of fur coats mark its warm properties, pleasant texture, but often speak about the weight of the product, as it is rather heavy.
How to choose?
Some sellers try to pass rabbit beaver as a cropped beaver, so be careful when choosing. And although outwardly they are really similar, in their qualities and to the touch are completely different. The rabbit is soft and gentle, silky.
A distinctive feature of the cropped beaver is hard “hemp”, which can be felt if you pass your hand over the fur, - it prickles a little, besides, is elastic.
It should be remembered that the “beaver” is a hare, not a beaver, although in the salons it can be assured of the opposite.
- High-quality beaver fur coats are sewn from hides specially selected with the help of computer technologies so that the fur matches not only in color, but even in length and density. So, it is worth checking the inside out, because the rabbit skins are small, which means that there will be much more details sewn together. In addition, all skins should be sewn in the same direction.
- Mezdra in a good fur coat is light, in density it resembles suede, rougher than that of the same rabbit. Dyed fur should be monotonous.
- The coat of the entire fur coat should look absolutely flat, smooth, without longer or shorter pieces, otherwise the beaver will immediately look cheaper. You should check the density of the villi, if they remain on the fingers, if you slightly pull them.
Images
The combination of a beaver with another fur is rare, but if fashion designers take this step, then most likely the fur coat will strike the imagination. Bleached Canadian beaver combined with large fluffy fox cuffs and a collar. To finish such a luxurious image is worth snow-white trousers, jewels or jewelry "under gold", as well as a clutch in tone of fox fur.
Black elongated fur coat in combination with cuffs and edges of the raccoon sides is a great everyday option. It can be combined with business and casual wear, for example, narrow black jeans and a black-and-white shirt.
Classic brown beaver with flared hem and belt is another successful model for every day. A bright focus on such a fur coat is a lynx collar.Due to the short length of the product with it, you can safely wear high boots, and jeans or trousers with a high-neck blouse will complement the look.
