Mink coat
- outerwear.
Every bitch, every
TP in their head has an inextinguishable desire to have this very fur coat. As a result, the subject has supplanted even a warm checkered blanket as a mandatory attribute of a sophisticated and mysterious lady. Along with bee-bitten lips, as well as a portable radio station, TP is considered a sign of status and increases the owner’s HRV when traveling on public transport.
[edit] Reasons for use
[edit] Physiology
It has been noticed that males practically do not wear fur coats (although they are popular in their own way in certain circles). This may be explained by poorer blood circulation in many women, that is, the blood barely reaches the tissues of the legs, arms and brain, which leads to complete frostbite of the latter. However, the favorite argument of consumers, usually living in Moscow, is the need to keep the body of a Russian woman warm. Polar explorers and climbers were also never seen wearing fur coats.
- True, it remains unclear where ordinary northern women get money for a fur coat made from animal fur.
- Polar explorers prefer their charge of “natural product” in the form of goose down and feathers. And there is only one solution: down jacket ≠ quilted jacket.
- Russia itself wears fur that is clearly not of mink origin.

Fur designer's one-room apartment for rent
Among fashion designers, there is a popular statement that a mink coat should warm not the body, but the soul. Warm parts of the soul:
- OBVM: “In a down jacket you feel light, fast, forever young, energetic, in a fur coat/skin coat you feel 100% more feminine emotions - something more elegant, sophisticated, your gait, manners change, etc. In a word, you start breathe in perfumes and mists, while the first option implies the smell of caramel and fruits :)”[1]
- FGM: “If you don’t have a mink/sable coat, then you are an unworthy girl”
- ChSV: “The gentleman in Rus' always wore a fur coat, but the serf did not even dare to dream of one”
- : All that matters is that the fur coat is made from the skin of an animal that the “breadwinner” himself “killed.” And the less often you live, the more pathetic the fur coat bearer is.
A sheepskin coat/fur coat in the 21st century really smacks of fetishism for the simple reason that “natural” fur, like Lenin and many other embalmed stuffed animals, requires special storage. In the summer it is recommended to put it in specialized refrigerators, otherwise it dries out, attracts moths, and sometimes the scent begins to be felt by the human nose. In addition, green fur often leads to the development of allergies in its owner, not to mention the fact that during tanning they use dangerous substances - mineral salts, formaldehyde, oils and cyanide-based paints. Roughly speaking, it’s hard to call it “natural”, and all this hemorrhoids are needed only to attract your attention, Anonymous.
[edit] Aesthetics
Some features of Russia are real
A textbook on the psychology of advertising explains that the aesthetic sense and ideas of beauty are formed as a result of a “complex association of ideas”: what is precious emphasizes wealth, and what demonstrates wealth begins to appear beautiful. Aesthetic need and art/fashion are social, that is, they are essentially self-promotion and self-selling (“involves a viewer/consumer”). So that! Roughly speaking, a chick in an expensive fur coat doesn’t seem to be hinting.
[edit] This is how it works
| « | — Do prostitutes wear fur coats to show that they are animals? - No. They have to do it for money. Fur is expensive, which means that if she can afford it, then she is elite. | » |

Minks for fur coats
Back in the 19th and early 20th centuries, a lush fur collar was considered a sign of a street prostitute in the West. You can see how this looked in the works of the expressionist Ernst Kirchner, in photographs from US police archives, in historical notes, thousands of them. With the popularization of mink coats in the middle of the 20th century with the help of the zombie box, in almost all countries of the world, mink coats switched from collars to fur coats. This is also reflected in art, such as the famous 60s film Butterfield 8, starring Elizabeth Taylor as a high-class prostitute. The well-known doll manufacturing company Gene Marshall decided to immortalize Liz in the image of this particular heroine due to the presence of a mink coat on her, so when purchasing, remember the possible consequences, chan. Also, it should be noted that prostitution before the “sexual revolution” was a separate big difference. So, in the conditions of 2021, remembering that, it turns out, in Chicago 1928, a gangster with a bloody Thompson lying in the trunk of a phaeton was looking for a fur collar in the light of the big city lights, there is no particular point in remembering (unless count as cosplay).

In Europe, there is an opinion that in the category under 80, only Russians and prostitutes wear real fur, however, foreigners often equate these concepts, also because of the Russian habit of dressing in furs and pendants. Waiting to be admired by her Russian beauty and fur coat, the chan can, anywhere and anytime, face the harsh reality in the form of jokes about dead minks and contemptuous glances, even to the point of refusing to communicate with her at all. True, even this does not scare them away for obvious reasons.

Yandex Pictures.
Not FS Dorvali in general, however, not at all because our pensions are as wonderful as in the West: just a few years ago there were sales of substandard fur coats (more about the condition of fur coats below). Apparently, this is why among users of the Yandex picture section who keep up with the times, a fur coat evokes a complex association with a homeless woman.
[edit] in America
A stern Canadian grandmother.
Screenshot from the film “Grey Gardens” So, women in mink, and not only mink, coats are an integral part of the life of any country, and especially the USA, where fashion came from. About the fact that in fertile America there are stupidly many fur-bearing animals (and then
, and
now
) is known to many. But the fact that “low-grade” material (from large mustelids - badgers, skunks) is closer to the common American than all these minks (unaesthetic? But cheap, reliable and practical) (garbage stuck to a skunk like chewing gum is removed with the same life hacks as for human hair - for example, with an ice cube, and the traces remaining after the intervention do not stand out as bae >>> the fur coat remains “like new” >>> it makes sense to make fur coats from skunk). It is clear that in places where richer upstarts gather, such an approach is considered alien and does not fit into the cozy consumer society.
An interesting fact is that the fashion for mink coats arose in the USSR and the USA at approximately the same time, despite all the talk about the pernicious influence of the West and the persecution of “hipsters,” which gives food for thought.
[edit] Fuckers
As elsewhere, savvy people make profit on mink coats. Many TPs do not understand and cannot distinguish a fake from the real article, and take the sellers’ word for it. Most often, a beaver and a hare or marmot are faked as a mink. And there is only one solution: just by looking, you won’t find any differences, that’s it!
When buying a fur coat, listen to what knowledgeable people say. They claim that you can distinguish mink from fur by touch: mink fur is harder to the touch than rabbit fur, because the rabbit is very soft. The mink differs from the marmot in the length of its fur; the marmot has it differently, but the mink has the same fur and the fur itself is not prickly.
Also, after holding your hand “against the grain”, the fur should quickly fall into place without falling off.
It is worth taking a closer look at the guard hairs of the fur - in mink they are all the same length, while in other minks the length may vary.
The most important thing is the quality certificate. A normal manufacturer should have it.
Another point is the country of origin. Sellers can tell another fool that the fur coat was brought from some Burkina Faso, where in fact not only are there no fur-bearing animals, but even the slightest decent production cannot be done. However, people are eating!
Equipment
Before skinning at home, you should prepare all the tools and equipment. This includes:
1.Clips and hooks made of metal; 2. Sharp knives with which to cut the skin; 3. Knives-scrapers for dressing; 4.A variety of scissors, wire cutters and pliers; 5.Nails; 6.Mesh cassettes; 7. Staples and a gun for them; 8. Hammers made of metal and wood; 9.Nail puller; 10.Light threads and needles. 11. Twine, tags of different colors; 12. Brushes and combs; 13.Measuring tapes or ruler; 14.Containers, bowls; 15. Seals; 16. Container for skins. It is recommended to use 100x60x70.
When the equipment is ready, you should prepare more wood sawdust, it is better to use hardwood. They will be needed for the initial processing of the skin. They should be prepared in advance, in other words, they should be dried and approximately 3 mm thick. It is better to use birch sawdust. They are needed when removing and degreasing.
[edit] Medicine
They look at you as envious.
The desire to appear rich and stand out in one’s environment has given rise to such phenomena as “mink coat on credit”, “mink coat for rent”, “run to eat empty pasta” (when a patient literally eats nothing but doshiraki to change fur coats as often as possible), as well as “tours to Greece for a fur coat.”
Most of the lulz come from credit. The loan is usually taken out for two years and lately it is often repaid by all relatives together, since the crisis has made its contribution to the lives of wonderful people.
| I have a difficult situation. Please advise. On November 21, 2008, I borrowed a mink coat for my wife as a gift. Then things were going well with the business, but due to the current situation (world crisis), production fell sharply, and I cannot repay the loan. |
| Spelling preserved |
Joint repayment of an excessive loan, it turns out, even leads to the division of fur coats in a divorce, where it is considered as jointly acquired property.
| After years of hints and gentle requests, my husband finally gave me a mink coat. I am very happy and grateful to him, which I have repeatedly expressed. But this is the second time, half jokingly and half seriously, he asks me to write a receipt stating that I received this fur coat from him as a gift. “Why do you need this?” I ask, he says - let it be, otherwise we’ll go our separate ways and you’ll say that I didn’t give you a fur coat. |
| [3] |
| This winter I’m going to buy a mink sheepskin coat (just above the knees), I’m wondering - at what age is it customary to wear fur coats, diamonds and other attributes of an “adult and respectable life”? I look a little older than my age, married, model figure. I also wanted to ask, if I separate from my husband, will he have the right to take away this mink coat? |

[edit] Fur hunters
The most common category of hunters for mink coats is the common moth. Hunters of the TP itself in a fur coat are usually considered to be radically minded greenies, who choose them as targets for the winter season of paintball games. Those successful ladies who have already bought a fur coat for themselves, but have not yet saved up for a Ford Focus, are often forced to walk considerable distances with their feet through the very hell of a residential area, so they traditionally become the prey of gopniks and all sorts of interesting personalities.
Here are some famous stories:
- in dashing 1994, the entire glorious city of Moscow was on edge after a series of murders of women in fur coats. The killer turned out to be an ordinary boy from the Ukrainian hinterland, Alexander Chaika, who naively believed that there was something to take from a woman in a fur coat.
- in 2007, hunters for expensive mink coats appeared in Novosibirsk, looking for their victims in fast food establishments, which is a problem in itself.
- Also, during large winter rallies, Kurginyan walked through mink coats.
How to restore a fur coat
But not only the wetness of a fur coat has an effect on the inner skin; storing a fur product in the summer is also considered an important fact. It is during the storage of a fur coat in the warm season that the inner layer also dries out and becomes hard. The skin itself decreases in size.
All factors that can affect the quality of the skin must be known in advance in order to timely prevent damage to the fur product. There are several of them:
The first factor: wet and damp weather.
If the fur coat is wet, then:
- It needs to be shaken (this removes the remaining water from the fur).
- To dry the fur coat, hang it in a cool, well-ventilated room.
- The dried fur coat is also shaken; if necessary, the fur is combed with a special brush.
Second factor: poor storage conditions.
As a result of improper storage in a dry room at temperatures above 25°C, the skins dry out. And when storing a fur coat in a room where humidity is high, the skin, on the contrary, stretches.
[edit] Shubosrachi
The main reason for shubosrach
Shubosrach usually follows the same scenario and for the same obvious reason every year.
The fur fight, however, can begin in particular when some mademoiselle is outraged by the capture of animals with the help of traps and the bearers of fur coats from these animals, but does not see anything bad in fur farms, as if death is from skinning alive
better than the agony of crushing limbs. Then the mech's opponents arrive. Then - leather sofas in general. In most cases, TP purchases the subject from China, where there is no law on the protection of animals from cruelty, which is why it is the world's main supplier of fur and slaughter-inciting videos.
The holivar begins from the side of the chans in minks against down jackets and faux fur, which well demonstrates the square-nested way of thinking of this model, since in the 21st century there are many other types of winter clothing. Having learned about them, Chan still continues to turn up his nose and declare that everyone is jealous of them.
- What is relevant in this drama is that technology has long made it possible to produce very high-quality faux fur...
- ...and it can cost even more than scalps (for example, in a boutique from Stella McCartney), and Chan wants to “emphasize his status” at a cheaper price.
The srach ends with the propaganda of vegetarianism and the attack of trolls, escalating into another srach.
Adding to this sad topic is the regular release of naked vegan asses onto the Internet as part of the “I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign, which is why we love them very much.
Deadlines for slaughter
To keep the fur of animals clean, the room should be prepared before slaughtering them. Thus, from the beginning of September, you should clean the premises, walks and constantly monitor the cleanliness of the litter. Also, in early October, you should replace the bedding with coarse bedding and use hay or straw in its composition. This will help get rid of fur curling in some areas of the mink's body.
The maturity of the fur coat must be determined by general characteristics. For example, a bushy tail is the first sign of maximum maturity of an animal. Also, when examining the fur, you should look at the shade of the animal’s skin itself.
Those minks that are dark in color should have flesh-colored human skin on their sides and back. In animals with light fur, flesh color does not indicate full maturity. In them it is determined by the pubescence and thickness of the skin. It shouldn't be very thick.
During the first stages of slaughter, minks should be slaughtered selectively. This will allow you to correctly understand and check the maturity of the fur.
It should be noted that slaughter must be carried out in a short time, since after the winter fur of the animals is formed, more defects will appear over time. In addition, if the slaughter time is too long, then their cost will increase, which can become a problem in the further sale of skins.
Animals must be slaughtered one at a time. First, animals with light and blue fur are slaughtered, after which beige ones should be slaughtered, then brown, silver, dark and black. But you should also skip ahead those animals that have various defects.

In the USA (and not only), upon arrest, the rights of the detainee are read out. In our country, people also have a lot of rights. The list of these sacred women's rights has been kept since time immemorial, and one of the first rules was: - If the husband does not fulfill his marital duty (my life), then the wife can console herself with the coachman (like cherubs). ... and one of the last rules says: - Any woman who has passed her fourth decade has the right to everything natural, namely, natural fur and diamonds. Of course, it is not at all necessary to wait until your fourth decade to buy a mink coat. The point is that by the age of forty, a woman is simply entitled by status to own a beautiful fur coat, even if purchased inexpensively in an online store (you don’t have to tell anyone about this). Regarding the fourth decade, the following is meant - my friend Alla, the chief accountant of a large company, on the day of her thirtieth birthday, bought herself a mink coat on the Internet, declaring: “I’m already in my fourth decade, have I finally earned myself a fur coat or not?” Alla actually had an epic time with this purchase of fur coats, since her friend has a thing for natural fur. There was not much to count on my husband - the husband drank a lot, despite two small children. When her husband (without ceasing to be a heavy alcoholic) left Alka to get married again, her friend realized that in terms of purchasing natural fur for her thirtieth birthday, she would have to rely only on herself. As in everything else, which is typical for most Russian women. What options does a middle-aged and empowered woman have? Yes, everything - nothing:
Since Alla is a chief accountant and not a forester, she immediately rejected the fourth and fifth options. - Do you even know how they are killed? - They are bred specifically for this. And in general, if you are driven, it is better to take it and die. the fur coat is wonderful. It gives it status, of course, but there’s nothing you can do about it. but there are other ways to emphasize status. but this one is the easiest Do you think it’s possible to be considered a luxurious, expensive girl if you’re wearing a down jacket (even from the first line Montclair for 600 pounds)? Or sable, mink...(. You are all cretins! Let's see, the most fashionable girls of DOMA-2 are dressed in fur coats! And who is a horse (take for example, Bushina - Mitya’s ancestors hate her (they won’t give her for a fur coat), Mitka himself has no money), Palych doesn’t give his horse money - he’s a beggar himself. Hence the conclusion - all beggars without fur coats, all with wealth and with rich boys - in kings! From a fur coat, and look - for 150-200 thousand! Mlyn, I have 5 fur coats (well, that’s how it happened), but I can’t wear them. I live in Switzerland - here they look at me with contempt, as if I killed the animals myself. And I don’t risk wearing a leopard fur coat at all - they might take it away at the border. So I admire them hanging in a cool room in the basement of the house. :( |
Skinning
After the slaughter has been carried out, the skins are removed immediately so that they do not begin to rot and rot, especially when stored in warehouses. If the skins become rotten, their hair will begin to fall out. The dressing of such skins can result in bald patches and, as a rule, are sent to waste. The skin is also removed immediately to preserve the shine of the fur and its freshness.
Killed minks should be laid out individually to cool the carcass. This procedure is necessary to avoid rotting of the skins, as well as to preserve the fur. Why should you not place killed minks on boards or other objects that can retain heat? It's simple, it doesn't allow your hair to rot, and it also doesn't cause redness on the skin.
If a special workshop is used for primary processing, then it is necessary to transport carcasses in special containers with cassettes. You can also transport bodies in another container, as long as it is dry and clean. The temperature during storage of carcasses until skinning should be in the range from 0 to +10 degrees.
Before removing the skin, it is worth examining the hair cover in detail, and if necessary, wash off and blot off any dirt or blood that may be present. You can use warm water for this. And after washing, sections of hair should be combed.
When removing the skin, you must be careful not to tear the skin, to avoid incorrect cuts and incorrect cuts. To make the work easier, it is better to use special equipment, such as metal hooks, various pins and clamps. You can also make your own special skinning machines. To keep the fur clean, use fine sawdust. With their help, the skin, all equipment and tools, as well as hands are wiped.
The skins of the animal are removed by chopping. Initially, either back leg should be manually secured to a special loop or clamp, and the other leg should be pulled back until the body is slightly raised above the table. Next, using a well-sharpened knife, make an incision on the hind legs from the inside. An incision is made from the middle fingers through the pads and passed to the anus. Also, a similar cut can be made without lifting your hand from one leg to the other. In this case, the anus is bypassed along the top.
Next, a cut is needed on the front legs. It is produced from the wrist to the elbow joint. Next, the rectum is cut. The tail itself also requires a cut from the bottom. The strip should be about a third of the length of the entire tail.
After all the cuts have been made, the skin should be peeled off, starting with the front paws. In minks, the remaining skin on the hind legs with nails should be cut off at the joints. When the tail tissue is removed, the vertebrae should be pulled out. For this, hooks, pins or scissor handles are used. From the body itself, the skin is removed both in a vertical and horizontal position. If vertical removal is used, then the body must be secured with hooks, inserting them into the Achilles tendons. With the horizontal method, trident pins are used, which are inserted into the exposed area from the skin above the pelvis.
Next, you should tighten the skin with movements from the rump to the head. The skin from the forelimbs is removed at the very end, when everything has already been removed from the rest of the body. When removing the skin from the head, you should carefully use a knife to help cut off the ligaments and cartilage.
After removal, you can send the skins for storage or tan them. If dressing is not planned immediately, then storage should be carried out in a specially prepared room with the proper temperature. When storing skins, you should constantly monitor them. If moths or other parasites appear that can damage the fur, the already affected skins should be immediately submitted for dressing, having previously treated them. Also, the dressing should be of skins that have developed mold.
