With the onset of cold weather, the popularity of warm outerwear, the brightest representative of which is a fur coat, increases many times over.
It allows not only to keep warm in severe frosts, but also to create an effective image.
Made from the fur of animals, it will last a long time and will be great to warm even on the most frosty days.
Types of fur coats
Fur coats are distinguished not only by models, but also by the type of furs and the way of tailoring. External signs rarely affect the functional features of the product, but have considerable weight when choosing it.
Fur coats are of three types, each of which has its own advantages. “Cross” looks more tender and feminine. A longitudinal fur coat is more like a solid one, which, in turn, is a product sewn from a whole piece of fur.
The types of fur coats differ not only in the way they are tailored, but also in the variety of furs, each of which has features of appearance.
Wolf coats have a very dense fur structure, which makes the product incredibly warm, and the characteristic color will undoubtedly attract attention and become the highlight of the image.
The weasel skin is very delicate and has a short nap, so it looks more weightless and light, but it is not inferior in its warmth to other options.
The lamb, especially sheared, has a not very fleecy skin, but very pleasant to the touch and beautiful visually, because it looks like luxurious velvet.
Bear skins have a dense texture, are good for strong frosts and are especially popular in the manufacture of children's fur coats, because it is very important to keep the baby warm to avoid seasonal colds.
Honorik fur coat has a short hard pile, which makes its surface smooth and "glossy." It looks, albeit simple, but quite beautiful and in most cases is presented in a dark color scheme.
Quite an interesting way to make a fur coat is to dissolve. For the manufacture of such a fur coat, the fur skin is cut into several small pieces that are stitched together to form a solid canvas.
The need for such tailoring is that the skins of some animals are too small and mixed to create a complete product, so you need to select the most suitable pieces.
Some fur manufacturers are engaged in the manufacture of dog fur coats, it helps to save in price. Outwardly, such a product looks like a wolf skin fur coat.
A kangaroo fur coat has a very short nap, literally one millimeter long. Visually, such a product looks like velvet or velor. Such a coat looks luxurious, but without a special lining in severe frosts it will be useless.
Svakara skin coat, better known as astrakhan, is not suitable for hard frosts, because it does not have a strong insulating effect. This product can be used up to minus fifteen degrees, at lower temperatures there is a risk of freezing.
Ostrich fur coats are rather a decorative thing, since such a fluffy pile is not very practical in Russian climatic conditions and in everyday life. But as a supplement to the evening dress, this coat looks just great.
Sheepskin fur coats are also made from fur of a fur seal, vicuna, alpaca and roe deer. These products are more likely to be demi-season in nature, but due to the short, smooth pile, they are not suitable for frosts.
The wolverine's skin is quite fluffy and the fur coat from it turns out to be warm. The fur has a long nap and a dark, black-brown color.
Fur coats are also made from badger and deer skins, which are also quite popular and have a reasonable price.
More expensive are mink, arctic fox, muton and nutria fur coats. Models of these fur coats are considered elite and are not available to everyone.
In addition, fur coats can be sewn in different ways: with fur outside or inside. And if everything is clear with the first option, the second one raises many questions. The fur coat, sewn fur inside, from the outside looks like a jacket or coat, and inside has a dense coat of wool, thanks to which is incredibly warm.

Reviews
- Recently I purchased a mink coat from a domestic manufacturer in the World of Fur store. The product is very beautiful and high quality. I was pleased with the wide range and quite a decent price - only 62 thousand rubles. Sellers have warned that I can think for a month, and if I suddenly dislike my purchase, I can return or exchange it for a new one, provided that the fur coat is in perfect condition.
- My husband and I rested in Turkey and visited the fur factory with a guided tour. Seeing the model of a mink coat in the whole floor, and then, after reading the price of $ 2300, I was pleasantly surprised and could not buy the product. Already the third winter departed in it, the fur coat is very warm! I didn’t specify about the return, but I don’t intend to return it, because it is perfect for me!
Tips for choosing
Choosing a fur coat, first of all, one should pay attention to its quality, and more specifically, to the quality of fur cover.
Fur should not have scuffs and bald spots, talking about the painful condition of the animal or that the product has already been worn to you and, selling to you, is simply given out for a new one.
The quality of the fur is checked in a fairly simple way: you must hold your hand or comb in the opposite direction of hair growth. Natural fur will quickly take its original state, and synthetic fibers will succumb and remain in the position in which you brought it.
Since the fur coats are sewn in factories, using special machines and machines, seamstresses can easily skip the sticking threads. It is worth paying attention to them, because some can be simply cut, while others will entail the discrepancy of the entire seam.
If you do not understand the fur cover of products, it is better to seek the help of a specialist, as dishonest sellers give out cheaper fakes for expensive products.
In addition, high-quality fur coats have a certificate in accordance with GOST, having requested that you can get all the necessary information about the product.
How to care for a fur coat?
The fur coat, although it is a massive volumetric product, is still very gentle and fragile, therefore it needs special care.
- Firstly, it is better to keep it in a special bag for clothes, which will protect the product from dirt and dust particles that can get stuck between the fibers.

What to wear?
Many people may wonder how to combine such a magnificent luxury product as a fur coat, but you shouldn’t be too smart about the image, because everything ingenious is, in fact, very simple.
If you go to a party, and you just have to go from room to car and back, you can safely combine a fur coat with elegant shoes with heels or simple sneakers.
Regarding heels, it can be noted that in winter, boots and ankle boots with heels are better to buy as weekend shoes, because during the icy heels you can slip and fall.
Therefore, the choice of boots with high heels, as well as high boots, should not be done their main task.
For everyday use, it is better to buy boots with a flat sole or a small steady heel, warm fur boots or winter sneakers.
Uggs will also be an excellent option, provided that they are made from natural materials - suede, natural fur and high-quality heat-resistant rubber outsole. Such a pair is worth an order of magnitude more expensive than fakes, but it will last much longer and will not expose the feet to cold.
