A mouton fur coat is one of the most popular and current models of outerwear for a modern girl . These fur products are in great demand due to their various styles and wide range of colors. It is also worth noting that such a fur coat can be combined with many elements of clothing, accessories, and also create unique images every day.
What kind of animal is a mouton and what to wear it with?
It is necessary to pay attention to the length of the fur coat.
Before talking about the right choice of a mouton fur coat, you should answer the question of what kind of animal a mouton is and what style of clothing such a fur coat can be combined with.
At its core, a mouton is a sheepskin, trimmed and processed using a special method. This processing method allows you to get a warm and beautiful fur coat with a perfectly smooth surface.
Typically, the length of the pile in such a product does not exceed 1.5-3 cm. If the wool is shorter or, on the contrary, longer, then most likely this indicates poor-quality processing of the sheepskin, or a crude counterfeit of a noble material.
In fact, a fur coat made from a mouton is not so expensive that it can be faked from other fur or wool. Most often, fakes occur when the manufacturer wants to save as much as possible on the manufacturing process.
A mouton fur coat can be of any shade - modern production technologies allow the product to be dyed or bleached to the desired result. In addition, the fur coat can be of any length and style - the material allows you to freely tailor the item to the desired silhouette.
A fur coat of this type is still made of sheepskin; it has quite a lot of weight in comparison with other furs and fur coats. But at the same time, it is so warm that you can wear it even in the most severe frosts.
Due to its expensive appearance, such a fur coat is suitable for almost any style of clothing - it is only important to choose the right style and length of the product. For example, a short black or gray sheepskin coat, mid-thigh length, will allow you to wear a fur coat with any clothes and shoes.
This is kind of a universal option.
In comparison with other fur coats and furs, a mouton has a number of advantages and features that make its purchase so desirable for most women.
Choice of style
An incredible number of design solutions for mouton fur coats catch your eye. Laconic fashionable fur coats are an attribute of femininity. The products fit well on all body types. The models can be combined with evening dresses, insulated winter business clothes, dresses, suits, and trousers.
There are three rules for mouton fur coats: femininity, grace and comfort in any cold weather. For the upcoming winter season, designers offer:
- shortened models in the form of short fur coats, short coats, jackets;

- textured tailoring from cuts;
- romantic models with a hood;
- loose or fitted cut;
- products with drapery, folds, wavy surface;
- high collars, stand-up collars, shawls and models without them.
Mouton will turn the owner into a strict business lady or a cheerful coquette; the lightness of the fur will add grace and mischief. The more interesting the cut, the more modern the bow. Goes well with fox, mink and sable fur. The asymmetrical cut, two-tone and oversized models look original.
The colors with a transverse gradient transition, the decor of the sleeves, collar, and bottom edge will be original. A good idea for everyday life and holidays is a youth-style mouton fur coat. A hood decorated with mink or sable adds charm.
Options for comfortable fashionable fur coats:
- shortened balloon fur coats with fasteners in the form of rings or hooks.

Fur coats in sport-chic and casual styles will be an option for everyday visits to the office, and will show off the owner in the best light. A minimum of accessories and an original belt are the key to style.
Designers decorate fur coats:
- trims from arctic fox, raccoon;

Fashionable colors of mouton
The trend is classic natural shades - black, brown, various variations of beige (cream, biscuit, light beige).
Lines in a brown palette look attractive, with smooth transitions of shades from dark chocolate to light linen or wheat tones. Lines made from bright mouton are in demand among young girls. The most relevant are various marine shades, rich burgundy and cherry color with purple tints.
Advantages
Low price - good quality.
Mouton has the following advantages that distinguish it from other materials for sewing fur coats and short fur coats:
- Low cost. In comparison, for example, with a mink or even a fox, a mouton will cost an order of magnitude cheaper;
- High quality appearance. Thanks to the special processing of wool, the mouton looks very expensive and presentable, it is soft and slippery to the touch - it can easily be confused, for example, with a sheared mink, especially for a person who is not knowledgeable in this area;
- Thanks to the special impregnation with which almost all mouton fur coats are treated, the item is not afraid of rain and dampness. That is, you can wear it in heavy snowfall and in the cold autumn season, during the rainy season;
- You can buy a fur coat almost everywhere, in any store that sells fur products;
- The size range of the mouton is usually presented from sizes 38 to 64. Despite the fact that the mouton is still fur, it does not make a woman look fatter, and in some situations it can even hide a couple of extra centimeters;
- The item does not require special care. In general, it is not picky; you just need to dry it when it gets wet, and also carefully store it out of season.
In addition to all of the above, many other advantages of the thing can be noted, for example, its small size - the mouton folds neatly and compactly, or the versatility of the material - it does not wrinkle, debris does not stick to it, and so on.
In general, buying a mouton fur coat is a profitable investment, especially if you choose a high-quality and inexpensive item.
Differences between a true mouton and a fake
Natural beautiful fur is universal for all weather conditions. A fake will let in moisture, get dirty, and let in cold air.
What to look for to distinguish a mouton from faux fur:
- Shine. Natural fur has light reflections, while fake fur has significant shine and shimmer.
- Villi length. The fake has longer pile than the originals made from mouton.
- Weight. Real fur coats weigh a couple of kilograms more than fake ones.
How to choose a fur coat from a mouton
It is necessary to take a responsible approach to the choice of fur coat.
In order to choose a high-quality mouton fur coat and have it serve you for many years, you should follow a few simple rules when purchasing:
- purchase fur coats only from renowned retail chains;
- When buying a fur coat, pay attention to the quality of the fittings, the pile of the product and the quality of the lining. In a branded product, everything is sewn securely, the seams are even, the tags are clear and not faded. The pile does not fray and does not remain on your hands, while it is all of the same even length;
- A quality product always does not have any foreign odors; if you run a wet hand over a painted product, no traces of paint remain.
Based on these factors, you can purchase a quality fur coat. And if you do this during the off-season period, then such a purchase can also be quite profitable.
How to evaluate fur
It will be useful for women to know how to distinguish a quality fur coat. Real material feel is defined as:
When stroking, the fibers do not fall under the hand, the fur retains volume and fluffiness.
Experts advise carrying out a number of simple procedures:
- Squeezing. To check, the mouton is compressed and released; for high-quality products, the shape is quickly fully restored. If the fur is fake, then sticking and a slow return to its previous volume may occur;
- Twitching. When pinched, the villi of the natural mouton do not come out and withstand the procedure. If the storage conditions or expiration date are violated, the fur may spill out during inspection;
- Carrying against the pile. When stroking in the direction opposite to natural growth, creases and damage do not form;
- Inspection of the reverse side. It is advisable to inspect the fur coat from the inside out. In natural items, skin is found, in artificial models, fabric material reminiscent of knitwear is found;
- Monitoring the condition of seams. Carefully inspect the seams at the joint line; high-quality rulers have smooth sewing, no protruding threads or defects;
- Staining assessment. Wipe the surface with a white cloth and check to see if there are any stains left or if the fur is shedding after dyeing. If a mark remains, shedding will occur continuously. The rule applies to all colors except light, beige, snow-white;
- Odor assessment. A new fur coat emits a subtle smell of leather or wool. If the product is damaged, there are notes of mold or rot.
Quality certificate and guarantee
In Russia and Europe there are many factories engaged in sewing collections from mouton fur. Among them are manufacturers in Moscow, Zheleznovodsk, Pyatigorsk, and St. Petersburg. It is convenient to check the authenticity of the brand through the website.
When selling 100% mouton, the seller will always have a quality certificate for the fur coat. The document will indicate the material and date of issue. Additionally, a warranty card is issued for a period of 1-2 years.
The presence of a label is not always an indicator of quality in the absence of a certificate and guarantee.
Recommendations
Mouton outerwear can be recommended for women of all sizes, both model-looking and completely ordinary. Dressed sheepskin can combine almost any cut elements, thanks to which any girl fantasizes about her own uniqueness.
Many customers are sure that the sizes of mouton fur coats in the catalog are presented for different external characteristics of girls, so they have no doubt about the high-quality characteristics of the purchased products.
Lightweight mouton fur coat: advantages and disadvantages
This fur coat attracts girls with its beautiful appearance. But, before choosing this particular category of fur, it is worth understanding the positive and negative characteristics of a lightweight mouton.
- Description of Mouton fur: properties and characteristics of sheepskin fur

Find out if everything was done correctly
When the measurements are taken, the most pleasant and important moment of choosing the appropriate model and trying it on comes. You can tell that a fur coat fits perfectly by the following signs:
—>
- It's comfortable. It does not restrict movement and does not twist when changing position. The hem does not rise up while walking. The length of the sleeve covers the wrist by 4-5 centimeters.
- There are no folds on the fur coat that were not provided for by the design. The pockets do not protrude.
- A fur coat should not be narrow, but too wide does not look attractive. An allowance of 6 cm to the semicircle of the chest is allowed (if according to the measurements the figure is 48 cm, then the width of the product at the front can be 54 cm).
Where to buy a mouton fur coat?
I recommend the Pyatigorsk factory “Berezka”, because I myself have been wearing their fur coat for the third year now, and their models are quite attractive. The fur coat can be purchased in their online store, at official outlets and on the wholesale market.
But in fact, there are quite a lot of manufacturers, and everyone chooses for themselves what they like best.

What sizes of fur coats are there?
All manufacturers make fur products based on standard parameters:
- chest girth;
- hip girth;
- height.
Important! As a rule, most outerwear is made for people of average height (170 ± 5 cm). Therefore, it is sometimes difficult for tall or short women to find a suitable model. It is not recommended to buy a fur coat that does not fit in length: the waistline will be shifted and the harmony of the silhouette will be disrupted. In this case, you can buy a fur coat to order (usually large fur stores have such a service) or look for a model of suitable length by visiting a large number of retail outlets.
Fur quality
This parameter is responsible for the service life of the fur coat. You need to check the pile itself and its color:
- How to check how high quality the pile is? You need to hold your palm against its height, tug it or pinch it. The fibers should not prick, break or fall out. In addition, they must be soft. High-quality fur will quickly return to its shape when compressed.
- Color. It is important that the paint is as durable as possible. How can I check this? Run a light-colored handkerchief over the mouton fur coat. If there are traces left on it, it would be right to continue the search.
