Animal advocates may be indignant at any time, but women around the world will not stop wearing fur products. And our compatriots cannot imagine how a real lady can look if there is not a single fur coat in the winter wardrobe.
The price of these products is sometimes quite high, especially if you choose a thing from sable or chinchilla. But you can stop at more affordable models made of rabbit or fox fur.
In this article we will talk about what kind of fox fur coats are and how to buy expensive things.
Fur
A fur coat is primarily a fur. Skins are usually divided into the fur of free foxes obtained by hunting and the product obtained from animals in a fur farm. It should be noted that the latter are valued slightly higher: the skins are larger in size, well-dressed, obtained in the right period, and not when the fox is already too old, sick or shedding.
Even fox fur is distinguished by geographical location, for example, Canadian, Russian or Scandinavian. But only a specialist will understand this issue well, and ordinary people should know the following: the climate affects the thickness of the skin and the thickness of the fur: in the northern regions the fur of animals is lush and silky, in warmer and wetter regions it is rough and not so thick.
Further, the skins are distinguished by the color of a particular species of fox, and all options are simply impossible to list. For example, among commercial wild foxes there are “Ognevka”, “Scarlet”, “Light”, “Red-gray” - these are all red foxes; silver fox, cross, steppe, silver, polar, etc. Among animals with fur farms, there are species with an unusual, artificially bred color - silver-black, platinum, marble, golden-platinum.
But there are colored fox fur coats, they complement the variety of colors by those shades that are not in nature.
But the main thing in fur products is quality!
What defects can a fox fur coat have?
- Low-quality fur - the skin is obtained from a sick, old or molting animal.
- Incorrect skinning. The most common problem is the overdried base, the fur coat becomes zealous and “rings” if you shake it.
- Incorrect skinning. Fur coats made of fox or any other fur-bearing animal are expensive, therefore, the material is stretched in several ways - perforation, dissolution or decay. Each of these technologies allows you to increase the skin by 2-3 times, but at the same time it can be ruined.
- Damage to the finished product - rusty fur and infection by insects. Even in stores that specialize exclusively in the sale of furs, such defects can occur, so you need to be very careful.
How to choose a fur coat in the store: useful tips
- Wallet and bank card must be left at home. A fur coat is an expensive purchase, so you should not throw out a lot of money under the influence of a second rush. And sellers in fur salons, as a rule, have to play on the feelings of the buyer in their favor.
- It is better to forget about markets and dubious shops right away. A good fur coat is sold only in a specialized store.
- For any product you like, you need to require a quality certificate and compare the information in the document with the data on the label.
- We check the quality: the skin should be soft, elastic and thin, and it should not crunch. Properly dressed fur smells nice and does not have a sharp "animal" darling. The seams are thin and even. When holding a wet palm on the fur, hairs do not remain on it. A painted coat should be checked with a wet cloth for quality of coloring. And sheared - for the absence of insects in the pile, since bald spots are sometimes masked with a fashionable haircut.
Fox fur coat: customer reviews
Now let's see what the owners of such products say. A fox fur coat will last at least 5 years, regardless of the type and color of the skin. This is a quality thing, no one gives a guarantee on products of dubious origin. And all the negative reviews about fox fur coats are about such things that were bought in the market and at a huge discount.
But sometimes they complain about quality products from the fur interior. The truth is mainly that fox fur coats disfigure a figure. In fact, you need to choose the right style: for short girls - vests and short fur coats, thin and high - fur coats on the floor. But in general, you need to remember that the fox fur is very voluminous, so all models with a lot of details will look bulky. In addition, it is worth choosing simple silhouettes.
