A little bit about furs
The following furs are traditionally used for sewing fur coats:
- mink;
- sable;
- beaver;
- raccoon;
- astrakhan and astrakhan;
- rabbit;
- marten;
- a fox;
- nutria;
- muskrat;
- lynx;
- muton.
Noble furs
With fur abundance, not all raw materials are considered elite. Noble furs are considered mink, sable, beaver and raccoon.
Mink was once considered fur for wealthy people. But now having such a fur coat is not a luxury. Mink has become an ordinary fur, although it costs more than any other.
The mink fur has a very good hairline, the pile is smooth and shiny, and there are protruding down and top hairs inside the pile. It is believed that this fur has increased wear resistance. It is thin, any product can be sewn from it, as from ordinary fabric, therefore it is also used when sewing skirts, dresses and jackets.
In Moscow, most often you can find products from the Scandinavian mink and Canadian, more rarely from Russian.
Scandinavian mink is well suited for our Russian climate, because it can withstand all the features of our climate. She feels great in dry frost minus 20, and warm, humid weather at +10.
Russian mink was specially bred in Russia in order to get practical fur suitable for our climate, so we can safely say that it is more suitable than any other Russian man like no other. She has higher hair and the thickest underfur, unlike others.
Sable fur is Russian pride. In Russia, rich people, boyars and merchants, always walked in sables, which symbolized luxury and wealth.
Today, sable is most often used for finishing a collar, because the fur is very voluminous, and the product is bulky. But they cut him and get a nice, warm coat.
Sable fur is considered one of the most wear-resistant furs, after the otter and river beaver.
Fur of the beaver is considered one of the lightest, while warm. Excellent long fur coats are sewn from it. It is not the most expensive, so many women with low incomes can afford a beaver fur product. Thanks to modern processing, cutting and dyeing, fashionable fur coats are made from this fur that do not look cheap.
An important feature of beaver fur is its high wear resistance. Its down is very thick, so the fur is not afraid of high humidity. When moisture gets on the fur, it becomes even more fluffy, as if opening and pushing moisture away from itself, therefore, a beaver fur coat ideally withstands heavy snowfall and wet snow. By their external qualities, beaver fur coats are distinguished by a lively shine.
Raccoon fur has a long thick pile and a dense underfur. It is very light, soft, warms well and has a beautiful appearance. Fur coats from raccoon turn out to be warm, seemingly expensive, although the real cost is quite low.
Fashion designers love to work with raccoon fur, so often models flaunt it on the catwalks, and from the covers of glossy magazines we see beautiful girls in raccoon fur.
Love this fur and the stars of show business. In music videos, you can see rappers with large chains around their necks and dressed in raccoon fur capes. The raccoon's natural color is gray or brown. A light gray raccoon looks richer than brown, so the fur is often subjected to full coloring in different colors. There are even the most inappropriate colors for coats, for example, bright green or pink - for a younger age.
But if you meet a coat of white raccoon, then in front of you is a copy of the skins of the Finnish raccoon.
Inexpensive pleasure
Next, you should pay attention to some types of inexpensive, but popular furs.
Karakul is a certain type of sheepskin. The uniqueness of the karakul, if we consider its external qualities, is in curls that can be large or small. For sewing fur coats, the skins of newborn lambs are used, since in more mature individuals, the hair straightens and the value of the fur disappears.
Fashion designers love working with this fur because of its suppleness. It is even thinner than a mink, so any product that is not related to outerwear can be sewn from it.
On the practical side, it is the perfect fur for dyeing and cleaning. If you have a product made from karakul, you don’t have to dry it because it is easy to clean at home, but you need to follow the instructions.
The color of astrakhan can be of different shades - gray and brown, white and black. Black karakul is valued more than brown or gray, but in the store you can often find black-colored karakul, so you should definitely pay attention to this point.
The most valuable is white astrakhan fur, but this is very rare, therefore, here too, manufacturers often discolor gray color.
Rabbit fur is very cheap, and its wear resistance is low. Fur coats, jackets, hats and jackets are sewn from rabbit fur, and often, to give the product a more expensive look, the tail of a fox or sable is sewn onto the collar. The rabbit fur is sheared and dyed, fitting in appearance to fit mink or other animals.
There are three types of rabbits in pile: ordinary, short-haired and long-haired.
In an ordinary rabbit, a pile is plentifully climbing, so it is better to refuse to buy a product from such fur in favor of a short-haired Australian rabbit fur, from a specially bred Rex breed. Its fur practically does not fade, and outwardly it looks like a chinchilla.
The marten's fur is soft to the touch, not lush, but the underfur is thick. Color: predominantly light gray and brown shades, heterogeneous. The tail may be darker, and the abdomen and throat generally give orange. This is not a warm and not very durable fur, therefore, products from it are sold at an affordable price.
Fox fur, like rabbit, does not have the highest wear resistance. A distinctive feature of fox fur is a bright natural color. In fact, the fox is most valued for the tail that adorns the collars. In color, they are different, depending on the habitat. In our area, foxes have a pale orange color. Canadian fox, on the contrary, has rich brown-red hues. But most valued are the skins of North American silver fox with gray-white fur.
Waterproof furs: nutria and muskrat
Fur coats made from nutria are characterized by high weight and excessive shine. Nutria fur is one of the cheapest furs, and manufacturers have learned to dye and cut it so that it looks like a mink or beaver. Since nutria is an animal from the aquatic environment, it withstands moisture with a bang. She does not care either snow or rain, she will sparkle from them even more. With accurate wear, it can last 5-6 years.
The most valuable fur in its qualities comes from individuals whose age is up to one and a half years. At the same time, it is important what the nutria was eating, because the luster and strength of the pile depend on this.
If the nutria is more than a year and a half, or she was sick, the skin is still removed from it and sold as first or second grade. It is these fur coats that can often be found at an extremely low price - for 80% of the initial cost - at sales.
Skillful manufacturers also learned to cut the outer hair, leaving an inner fur that looks like a real mink fur. Not every experienced specialist will be able to distinguish the first time.
The natural color of the nutria fur is diverse. These animals can be: beige, lemon, white, cream, gray, black, brown, and even bluish.
Muskrat, like nutria, is an aquatic animal, so its fur is as water-repellent and wear-resistant. The muskrat's underfill is so thick that water does not penetrate inside, so the fur coat is perfect for residents of large cities who are waiting for public transport for a long time. A fur coat from a muskrat will withstand even the most severe snow and rain.
The colors of the muskrat are gray, brown and black. The muskrat’s fur, even without artificial assistance, is very similar to a mink, but is several times inferior to it in terms of wear resistance.
Muskrat has 2 parts, which are valued differently. The most expensive is the back, because the fur on it is more wear-resistant than on the peritoneal part.
Dear fur
Lynx fur coat is not cheap. The cost of the most inexpensive lynx coat, more precisely combined, with lynx inserts, starts from 100 000 rubles and sometimes reaches the cost of an expensive car. By its beauty, such a fur coat overshadows even the most expensive mink coat. But surprisingly, the durability of a lynx fur coat does not exceed a rabbit or a fox, therefore, when buying a lynx fur coat for a million rubles, owners try to go out in it only, and, of course, it is not suitable for everyday wear. The fur of the lynx is so beautiful that it attracts attention and causes admiration.
As a rule, due to the high cost of lynx and trot-cat hair, it is not customary to dye, so they sell it in a natural color. The color, in turn, depends on the breed. Fur coats from Canadian red-haired or white coats are found in stores. The most valuable lynx fur is taken from the abdomen.
The high cost of lynx fur is also explained by the fact that their population is small, capture is prohibited, and in captivity they give small offspring.
Budget fur
Muton is a variety of ordinary and thoroughbred sheepskin, for example, from the same astrakhan breed, only fur is taken from individuals of a more mature age. Shear and dye them under all kinds of expensive fur coats so that they look like mink, sable, raccoon, and even rare and expensive lynx furs.
