A little about fur coats and mouton
A fur coat is a fairly ancient item of clothing: the first mentions date back to the 1st century AD. Only the appearance of the old fur coat was different - it was worn with the fur inside because it was warmer. However, it would be wrong to assume that a fur coat was only a warm thing. Historically, furs have been an expensive product. And, if a person could afford, for example, sable, then he tried to emphasize that his fur coat was made of such an expensive material. Therefore, styles with wide fur collars and cuffs were in fashion, which showed luxurious fur to everyone. But this was the case until the 20th century.
With technological progress and the advent of warm synthetic materials, the fur coat has lost its original function - to warm a person on cold winter days. Therefore, there was no longer any urgent need to wear it with the fur inside. Now the fur coat became a decorative element of the wardrobe (of course, it still remained very warm), but now it was worn mainly by ladies who wanted to emphasize their social status.
A few words about mouton: mouton is a sheepskin that is distinguished by a special processing technology.

The advantages of a mouton fur coat
Mouton is one of the most popular materials for making fur coats. What is its appeal, and is the game worth the candle?
- Warm material . Sheepskin (even after chemical treatment) is sheepskin. It is worth remembering that a sheepskin sheepskin coat saved villagers even in the most severe frosts, and everything falls into place. So a fur coat made from a mouton is not just an indicator of material well-being, but also good thermal insulation.
- Durability . On average, a mouton fur coat is designed to last about 10 seasons. But this is not the limit: the whole point is that such fur has not been produced in Europe for a long time. And the only opportunity to see and buy a mouton is through exhibitions and sales of retro models of fur coats. If we take into account the fact that a vintage item is an item more than 20 years old, we can conclude that if treated with care, such a fur coat can last more than 10 seasons. Of course, if you store it correctly and use dry cleaning services.
- Moisture resistance . High humidity is a real problem for some furs. But a mouton fur coat is an exception. She is not afraid of walking in wet snow. The main thing is, after the end of the season, take the fur coat to the dry cleaner to get it in order.
- Price . Compared to other fur products, the price of a mouton fur coat is simply affordable. This may explain the popularity of this fur among the urban population. Mouton is the most affordable fur.
- More humane material . Still, a sheep is an animal that was specially bred to be kept in captivity, unlike foxes, arctic foxes and minks, which, moreover, are often skinned while still alive.
Features of fur
Lightweight mouton: what is it and why is it called that? In essence, this is the same sheepskin, only different technologies are used for its processing. The fur is cut so much that instead of a thick and “thick” layer of pile, the result is an almost smooth and weightless fabric, on which small swirls and crimps can be visible only in a few places (photo).

This fur processing makes fur coats made from lightweight mouton similar to products made from rabbit, mink and even chinchilla fur. Only professional and experienced tailors and furriers can distinguish sheepskin of this kind from other materials.

Where can I buy?
The answer is simple: in the store. You shouldn’t even think about buying a fur coat on the market. Why?
- There is no opportunity to try on new clothes well and examine yourself from all sides.
- There will be no time at the market to ask the seller questions. And the bustle will not allow you to think about your choice.
- It is unlikely that you can get a certificate for the product in this place. The same can be said about the warranty card.
All these points indicate that it is better to choose a mouton fur coat in a specialized store. There you can not only try on the product, but also check the fur and quality of tailoring. In addition, in the store the seller will provide the buyer with a guarantee coupon and a sales receipt. They will be useful if there is a need to return the product (hidden defects).
Tailoring quality
Many people think that products from well-known companies are much better than ordinary ones. However, a big name does not always guarantee quality. That is why it is worth checking carefully how a sheared mouton fur coat is sewn. This procedure will help you avoid buying low-quality fur at a huge price.
According to the designers' advice, the fur coat must be examined from all sides before it is paid for. Particular attention should be paid to seams, fasteners, and decorative elements. What about seams? They should be flat and soft to the touch. At the same time, they must be palpable. Otherwise, we can talk about glued fur, which in a week will lose its presentable appearance.
The lining also plays an important role. It is advisable that it not be thin. The seams connecting the lining to the fur coat must be straight. The same goes for the pockets and hood. In addition to the seams, you need to check the cuffs. Sometimes manufacturers use low-quality fur there.
To choose a truly high-quality fur coat, you need to look at product certificates.
How and with what to wear a mouton fur coat?
Any outfit, jewelry and accessories can be suitable for such a fur coat . The most important thing is to combine them correctly.
- If the item is short, it is better to wear trousers or jeans. It depends on individual taste and desire.
- Models that are slightly below the knee are best paired with skirts. The most important thing is not to go overboard with the length, since the skirt should not be more than 10 centimeters longer than the fur product.
- As for shoes, both long and short boots will look good with short fur coats; heels are also acceptable, but this is not a prerequisite. If the product is long, then the height of the boot can be slightly below the knee, but if the fur coat is ankle-length, then you only need to wear boots with heels.

- It is best to choose suede or leather gloves; mittens in this case will not look perfect.
- Young girls should not pay attention to fur and voluminous hats, since such an accessory will add a few years to your appearance.
- The bag should be elegant and match the color of the gloves. It is better on a strap, and you need to carry it in your hands, because if you carry a bag over your shoulder, the fur can deteriorate very quickly.
- If you don’t like hats, it’s better to immediately choose a fur coat with a hood. This is a very beautiful, and most importantly, convenient option.
The most current models this year will be classic fitted options with the addition of different furs in one product. This could be, for example, a collar, cuffs or a hood made from various other furs.
- As for the collar, the stand-up collar is considered to be the most popular.
- The use of wide belts and leather materials is a very common decorative element this year.
- The most fashionable color is considered to be black with blue mink inserts. But no less popular and practical colors are: chocolate, beige, brown and of course black. These colors are the most practical and popular, since they can be worn both for formal social events and used for an everyday look.
- As for the style of the mouton product itself, the fur coat should be knee-length, the sleeves should be straight, short or wide. The hood can be anything you want, but the most popular is the voluminous option. The most practical option for 2021 is considered to be a product with a hood. In winter 2021, “cross” models are in fashion.
- The most excellent option is a hood trimmed with other fur. The furs most often used are sable, mink and arctic fox. This combination will look very stylish and beautiful on any girl.
- The designers also left such decorative elements as buttons with stones and decorative brooches. Such elements can very beautifully complement the entire image, and will also make the product unique and original.
- The combination of a mouton with fur such as mink is simply excellent, since such a product looks very rich. For example, mink can be used as a trim for the hood or sleeves.
Mouton fur coats with a collar were popular last season, but remain in demand this season.
