Pony fur: what kind it is
To create the materials, they use the fur of specially bred short-haired horses, whose wool will subsequently require the least processing by technologists. The skins of white Scottish ponies, Welsh black horses, “golden” Exmoor ponies, and spotted Shetland horses are widely used. Black pony fur is especially popular among furriers, as it is relatively inexpensive, looks impressive and does not require additional processing. Competent craftsmen achieve a special shine from the material, characteristic of products of the 1950s. Slightly more expensive two-color or three-color fur is also popular.
Who is suitable for clothes made from a miniature horse?
Products made from velvet “fabric” attract active women who love comfortable, non-bulky items. A demi-season jacket or fur coat is well suited for a young girl or car lady who values a dynamic life and things that fit her figure. These are the ladies who leave great reviews.
A pony coat is not too warm. It is perfect for spring and autumn, but on frosty days, only insulated items will do. And even products made from padding polyester will not keep you warm in severe frosts. Therefore, if you live in the northern regions, it is better to have a couple of fur items in your wardrobe for different seasons. Such as a fur coat made of pony and mouton. Mouton is a sheepskin made in a special way. Users give good reviews in favor of its heat-retaining qualities. At the same time, for residents of the southern regions, ponies are also suitable for winter.
Sometimes you can find conflicting reviews. Some people note that the fur is quickly wiped off. No one has conducted any special research, but judging objectively, this problem concerns shoes. The wear resistance of outerwear largely depends on careful wear.

What you need to sew a pony coat
creativecommons.org
Sewing a coat from pony fur implies that you have already worked with this material. If this is your first fur product, we recommend starting with sewing a fur hat to get used to working with fur.
- A piece of pony fur in the color you want. Please note that if your choice is not plain fur, you will have to allow additional time for customizing the pattern and making adjustments.
- Optionally, to decorate the collar and sleeves, you can use pieces of other, fluffier fur to play on the contrast of volumes. Fluffy silver fox fur is often used for these purposes.
- Sewing accessories for processing fur (specialized needles, sharp scissors or a stationery knife, a special device for fixing fur (optional), patchwork pins or clothespins, etc.).
- Coat buttons. Alternatively, you can use hooks or even a zipper.
- Warping tape for strengthening seams and edges.
- Pattern adjusted to the required parameters.
Step-by-step plan for sewing a pony fur coat
The material will allow you to sew long and short coats from pony fur, so you can adjust the pattern to the length you need: make a long coat to the floor or shorten it as much as possible to the length of a demi-season jacket.
- Adjust the pattern to the size of the model.
- Secure the pattern to the material using pins. Please note that the product is cut with strict adherence to the direction of the pile. If you plan to work with leather a lot, it makes sense to purchase a so-called saddle, or quick clamp. It will help you grind the material by hand faster and serve as a third hand that fixes and pulls the fur.
- Cut out the parts from the wrong side, keeping an indentation of about 4 cm. Add 5-8 cm of indentation to the middle cut. Remember that fur products are cut strictly by weight.
- If this is your first job or you have doubts about the sizes, it is better to test the accuracy of the pattern by sewing a mock-up of a coat from linen fabric. If you don't want to spend money, you can use long patchwork pins or simple clothespins to securely secure the fur.
- Sew the coat pieces together. Please note that the seams are not too thick; first cut off the pile at the laid allowances. Even such a relatively thin material as pony fur will gather at the edges and seams if the wool is not pre-treated.
- Reinforce the seams and edges of the product with keeper tape.
- Sew buttons or hooks.
- If desired, you can decorate the sleeves and collar with fluffier fur for contrast.
