Fur coat in your closet
It has long been the custom that a fur coat in the wardrobe is a symbol of prosperity in the house. Not a sheepskin coat, not a short down jacket or a puffy jacket, but a luxurious heavy fur coat. It never goes out of fashion, and if you don’t spare money on quality, you can be sure that the product will not be afraid of rain. And, of course, a fur coat obliges you to look the part.
Here you can’t get away with a tracksuit from the market, and winter sneakers with such a thing look ridiculous. With the right approach to shaping your wardrobe, a fur coat will become a unique touch to the overall style, that same notorious diamond cut that creates a mood and makes an impression.
Animal rights activists have been vocal against the fur coat industry, and it's worth noting that their words affect many of us. But does the industry suffer from this? Let's remember the famous model Naomi Campbell, who joined PETA and posed nude for their advertising, but a few months later she could not deny herself the pleasure of trying on chinchilla fur at the Fendi show. Of course, the scandal hit the reputation of the top model, but the fact remains that women love fur, and there is no lady in the world who would refuse such a gift. Moreover, buying one fur coat does not quell the desire to buy another one. Among the abundance of furs, the mink confidently holds the place of leader.
The reverse side of the fur coat
The fur coat holivar has long died out, but I’m not trying to rekindle it, I’ll just throw in my two cents.
Perhaps the text is overly emotional and categorical, but as they say, it hurts. Firstly, I feel very sorry for the animals - both the minks and the chickens that I eat, and the realization that there are testicles in the refrigerator that could become tiny yellow chickens - well, my heart bleeds. In general, I feel sorry for animals, and plants, to be honest, I’m sure they suffer on some other level, these slowly dying corpses of Christmas trees in apartments, I feel sorry for everyone and I kill them all every day when I go to the grocery store. Well, we have not yet reached such a metahumanism when all of humanity will understand that killing living people is not only ugly, but also any flora and fauna. We are still hypocrites - everything that we consider fascism at the human level, we accept and practice at the level of the animal world. So let's approach the issue of animal protection from the other side, so to speak.
99% of the fur coats that I see on girls and grand ladies on the streets are terrible!
Let's go down from the Guchchev level of laytoo to me in the MEGA shopping center of the Krasnoznamensky district of the Upper Volga region.
For five years now I have had 3,000 dollars (I transferred another 35 per dollar) for a fur coat. The amount for a good fur coat is small, but I’m somehow reluctant to spend it on a bad one. And I see people spending, and not being frustrated like me.
So I walk around all December, looking at women in mink and my conclusions are disappointing.
The styles of mink coats are divided into two categories - practical ugliness and decorative crap.
A fur coat with a hood and a belt is terrible no matter how you look at it. Anything on a fur coat that gives it minimal comfort in winter immediately disfigures it to the maximum.
A fur coat with a belt - with a leather one, everyone looks like a sumo wrestler tied up with some kind of garbage and whose riding is bulging because of this. And if the belt of a mink coat is also made of mink, nothing can spoil a woman any more. Women with mink belts look as much like sacks of potatoes as possible.
A fur coat with a hood makes the lady look like a head-headed toddler on an enlarged scale. In fact, the hood is the cornerstone of fur coat ugliness - because if it is not there, then there is no hat in the world that would fit a mink coat.
There are a lot of women walking around in cities with fur coats without a hood and wearing hats - it doesn’t look great.
At the same time, the hood is also ugly. The wide cobra hood, firstly, although beautiful, still hangs at the back, giving -500 to your luxury. Secondly, it is not really needed because it does not perform the functions of a hat, it blows out the most meningitis areas. The hood is not a cobra, that is, it tightly fits the oval of the face - well, a kindergarten and horror-horror from behind - sticks out very ugly.
Also, most fur coats in the “practical ugliness” category have the silhouette of an elder with giant shoulders, which does not make a woman beautiful at all. Just don’t turn around and try on in front of the mirror - you’ll buy yourself ugly for the whole winter for 150 rubles and more.
Separately, I note that in the shopping center there are ladies who have become hot, they have become stubborn, and they lower their fur coats from their shoulders, exposing their neck and upper shoulders, due to which they look terrible. There is some kind of peasant tradition of hobbling, slightly lowering the jacket from the shoulders - among the most marginal strata, and these women in their fur coats give an impression completely opposite to what they think. Also - a full-length fur coat: I have never seen a single woman who would look so beautiful in it. For some reason, all these long options look collective farm.
Oh, yes, one more thing - many women wear sleeves that are a little longer than they should be, and when they lower their arms it seems that the fur coat is too big for them, as if it came from someone else’s shoulder. Again, no beauty.
Absolutely all women, without exception, in short fur coats down to their butts look like funny bear cubs if they are belted, or cartoonish women with a cartoonishly large square body on thin legs - if they are straight cut.
Now a little about decorative crap. These are the styles of fur coats that make women as elegant as possible - as far as possible and in which you can only take selfies in the apartment in winter. These are fur coats without a hood (which is unacceptable for going outside) and with three-quarter sleeves (very beautiful and impractical).
Having observed all this splendor on the streets, and the meager assortment in stores (and sellers who offered two fur coats and immediately asked when I intended to choose one of them and buy), I have decided not to put up with the fact that for my three kilobucks I can only get piece mink with crazy markup in some suspicious salon, started googling “buy a fur coat in Greece” and “buy a fur coat in the UAE.”
All that I understood from the topic “fur coats abroad” is that in the UAE there is simply a terribly deceitful market, where they can deceive worse than here, and this whole story with the Kanaks (molesters blatantly trying to “help” choose a fur coat, but in reality they have a percentage from the price of a fur coat) - I wasn’t inspired at all, so at the moment it seems to me that the only way out is to go to the Greeks for a fur coat (or are they lying too? I haven’t read all the reviews yet).
As for the style - yes, I take “practical ugliness”. A hood is a must for Russia; I really haven’t found a single model that I really liked on girls.
Express assessment of the author's analytical abilities
Why mink?
Which mink coat is better to choose? Sellers, casual acquaintances, and friends vying with each other to offer their advice. Mink is feminine, stylish and always fashionable. Mink is chic, especially if the product is of high quality. The fur shimmers, shines, and lies close to the body. A mink coat will not turn an elegant girl into a clumsy snowman, over time it will not turn into a lump of fur and will not reveal dubious bald spots. These advantages also have a downside: mink is not the warmest fur, and in harsh winters you can feel chilly in such a fur coat. But will this argument outweigh the desire to show off in a shiny new thing?! And warmth is a gain, because you can always insulate a product with wool batting.
Ideal model
Each representative of the fair sex knows her strengths and weaknesses. It is very important to learn to hide your own flaws. How to choose a mink coat style to present yourself in the most favorable light? First of all, you need to adequately assess your own physical parameters. Are you tall? Or maybe, on the contrary, you are a fragile and petite woman? Pay attention to the width of your shoulders and the length of your legs. “Inch-inch” girls are not recommended to choose elongated or too curvy models. An impressive collar and a hood with fur trim will not decorate you either. A fur coat should complement you and warm you, not overshadow you. Do not choose models that are too small, because such a piece of clothing should not be tight on you.
The eternal trend is trapezoidal models, which are sewn from diagonal pieces of fur. This manufacturing method initially implies more careful wearing and careful cleaning. By the way, you won’t be hot in such clothes, and they fully fulfill their decorative function.
Which mink coat to choose in a country with a harsh climate? If in winter you do without your own transport and use public transport, then it is irrational to choose a long fur coat, as it will quickly wear out and become unpresentable. In such conditions, it is better to prefer a short mink coat with a hood and a warm lining. This piece of clothing, by the way, does not always need a belt, but it is characterized by universal mobility, that is, it is suitable for any style and image. With a classic bag and high-heeled boots, a short sheepskin coat will be feminine, and with skinny jeans, a backpack and ugg boots, you can create a dynamic youth ensemble.
Business representatives of the fair sex, who have the opportunity to maintain a car and go out in the evening, may prefer elongated fur coats with a belt, hood and tapered sleeves. These models provide excellent warmth, elongate the silhouette and make the figure feminine.
What temperature is optimal
The most suitable temperature for wearing this element of a woman’s wardrobe is the range between -10° C and -30° C. In this case, the air should be quite dry, since high humidity, as well as too warm weather, negatively affect products made from natural fur.
The model and style of such an item, as well as the density of the pile, plays an important role in determining the temperature regime that will be optimal for this particular item. Thus, short, flared, loose, as well as models with 3/4 sleeves, are suitable for fashionistas traveling by car, or for walking in the fresh air at least -15° C. Elongated options with a belt, deep hood and thick fur will warm even in the coldest and windiest winter.
Only high-quality natural mink fur has frost resistance and the ability to retain heat. The best types of such products are considered to be Canadian and Scandinavian mink. These models are distinguished not only by the thickness of the fur, but also by high-quality processing and impregnation of the material.
Chinese products, in turn, are somewhat more affordable in price, however, in their practical qualities and appearance they are very different from analogues made in other countries, so it is recommended to wear them at a temperature not lower than -15 ° C.
Mech rating
How to choose a good mink coat? And why is mink considered the most optimal option in this regard? It must be said that in a kind of leaderboard, the mink takes only fourth place, leaving the otter, beaver and sable ahead. This is explained by the relatively low wearability of fur. Sporting a mink coat every day would be wasteful. If you regularly drive a car, then it is better to avoid long products. This is both inconvenient and unreasonable; after all, the mink wrinkles very quickly. But short models are an ideal option for a born motorist.
Taste and color
How to choose a mink coat in accordance with the color trends of the season? This is a very important nuance. Naturally, you need to try on a fur coat to determine the combination of the color of the product and your appearance. Light shades are refreshing, hide age and highlight the natural blush.
But when moving along our roads, you always run the risk of splashing a spectacular mink with drops of dirt and water. In addition, light colors emphasize the figure, so if you are overweight, then do not choose such a fur coat. Dark models outline your contours more clearly, but they also highlight your disadvantages just as accurately, so you shouldn’t try on such a product, otherwise you’ll immediately give yourself a couple of years.
The right approach
Fur is capricious by nature and over time can acquire a yellowish tint, and this process, unfortunately, is irreversible. Yellowing is most noticeable on light-colored fur.
How to choose a mink coat correctly so as not to get into trouble? When purchasing, you should especially carefully inspect the product in artificial and daylight. Remember that there should not be even a hint of yellowness on the new fur coat. And this is noticeable only when comparing light models, since against the background of dark ones the difference will not be so obvious. Snow-white mink is certainly beautiful. This model makes you a fragile and beautiful Snow Maiden, but this happiness will not last very long.
In just 2-3 seasons, the product will acquire an unpleasant yellowish tint. Which mink coat is best to choose in this case? Perhaps the beige option is suitable for you, since such fur ages unnoticed and looks more noble. The mysterious and unearthly shade of blue mink is very ambiguous, as it rarely suits anyone, but it magically transforms a woman into a real queen. If this shade suits you, then you will make a great impression at any meeting.
Black fur coats are a timeless classic, so if you are looking for a universal option, then buy this model. Remember that mink is dyed not only for aesthetic purposes, but also in an attempt to hide defects in the skins.
Light mink, which is respectfully called white gold, is often subject to bleaching, which makes it less durable. But dark fur coats may cost you a little more, because there is a strange stereotype regarding the price, according to which black fur is more durable. Sellers who give advice on how to choose the right mink coat may turn out to be unscrupulous and pass off a dyed walnut mink as a black one. The difference doesn’t seem to be that big, but deception is still deception. It is unlikely that you will want to get into such a story.
Word of mouth
Agree, it’s nice to leave the house in a luxurious fur coat on a frosty day, catch the envious admiring glances of others, and feel like a real woman who deserves gifts and compliments! A long-awaited purchase will bring more joy if it collects the required number of reviews from your friends and acquaintances. After all, public opinion is an incredibly powerful engine of trade. Last but not least, thanks to him, the mink coat became a symbol of success.
How to choose the right mink coat? Reviews from experienced buyers can only confuse, because it doesn’t happen all the time. At one point of sale, someone came across a fur coat with some fur coming out, and someone else couldn’t get enough of their fluffy jacket for more than one season. Therefore, reviews from amateurs should be taken into account only at the final stage of selection in order to decide between controversial options.
There will be more sales points in large cities. At your request, the store must present a certificate for sale and tell you what furs are used in production. It is best to visit a retail outlet with an expert who can tell you whether the sellers are telling the truth and how to choose the right mink coat without fear.
It should be noted that there are no absolute advantages to any shade of fur coat. You must decide this yourself, based on which item suits you most.
Professionals recommend storing light-colored items in a case. In general, mink should be protected from direct sunlight and worn carefully, because it is not a jacket that can be sewn up and dry cleaned without fear. A mink coat after repair may look impeccable, but an unpleasant aftertaste will significantly spoil your pleasure from wearing it. If you can afford such luxury, then take care of purchasing and installing a fur refrigerator. Then the product will not turn yellow for a very long time. If this is too costly for you, then it doesn’t matter - in large cities such a service is provided for a fee.
A mink fur coat with a hood is simply beautiful
Natural mink fur in fur products always looks elegant, be it a short jacket for a lady car or an elongated model with a classic cut. If we compare two identical models with and without a hood, the majority of girls will choose the style with it. And the reason for this will not be so much practicality, but rather the more presentable appearance that this cut detail gives to any model.
A voluminous hood gives the style a more luxurious look, and at the same time gives its owner a higher status, indicating a high financial position. In addition, mink fur has a dense undercoat that will keep even a lady hurrying to a social event in a light evening dress from freezing.
In conclusion, we recommend watching a video about the advantages of fur coat models with a hood:

Mink Paradise
Who would have thought that such a small animal could become the object of desire for many millions of ladies! Over time, craftsmen learned to recognize animal furs and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Detailed tips on how to choose a mink coat will help even an amateur make up his mind in the world of mink diversity. It is worth noting that in many countries around the world they breed and sell minks.
The names of the mink are indicated on the labels. The Russian mink, which has a high spine and underfur, is rightfully considered the warmest, which explains its somewhat increased shaggyness. By the way, such fur is quite affordable and, in comparison with its “relatives,” has an affordable price. A tastefully made, high-quality Russian mink fur coat is not inferior to foreign models, but often on the streets there are large ladies who are full of fluffy fur.
How to choose a mink coat among overseas options? Pay attention to Scandinavian fur, which currently occupies a leading position. The thick underfur and medium awn, coupled with a luxurious shine, won the popular title of black diamond and a leader’s place at the Finnish auction.
For the European climate, North American mink is suitable, which is strikingly different from others due to its low pile and lack of characteristic shine. Sometimes it is called velvet. Enterprising Italians could not miss such a source of income as the sale of fur coats, even though they do not raise mink themselves. Their difference is in creating great design. At fur factories here you can buy a fur coat at a huge discount, which attracts fashionistas from all over the world to Italy.
Advantages of mink coats with a hood
When choosing a model of a noble mink fur coat for yourself from the assortment presented in the store, many girls pay attention to styles with a hood. This is not surprising, because this pattern has quite understandable arguments.
- Hood = headdress. The presence of a folding hood in the model saves ladies from the painful search for a suitable headdress. After all, in addition to the fact that it should please everyone and suit the person, the hat simply must be harmoniously combined with the fur coat itself. For such luxurious clothing as a fur coat, a knitted hat is unlikely to be suitable, no matter how beautiful and stylish it may be. Simple materials next to noble mink will reduce the overall cost of the fur coat itself. The best option may be a model of a headdress made of identical fur, but choosing the exact color shade and texture is not so easy.
- Weather protection. Frost and gusts of wind in winter force girls to wear hats on their heads, which can significantly deform the hairstyle that has taken so long to construct from their hair. You can avoid such force majeure with the help of a hood, which has a larger volume and at the same time copes with the protective function. In addition, mink fur is light enough not to crush hair.
- Convenience. The hood is much easier to remove than the headdress. At the same time, you do not need to hold it in your hands or put it in your purse indoors, since it is part of the fur coat. When folded back, the hood plays the role of a luxurious collar decorating a fur coat.
- Completed image. Framing the face with iridescent fur, which is a continuation of the fur coat, visually creates the integrity of the image.

Defect or feature?
When talking about types of fur, we cannot ignore the wild mink. How to choose a high-quality mink coat from such fur? It is necessary to focus on the height of the pile, which should resemble sable. Wild mink have an exceptionally dark gray-brown color and a light underfur. Often such fur may have external flaws, but its cost is incredible.
And, of course, the world's fashionistas must have wondered how to choose a mink coat in China, where prices seem so tempting and the fur dream is so affordable! There is no doubt that Chinese products are the cheapest, but low-quality fur coats are exported, while good models remain in the country. The Chinese are economical but cunning people, so they like to use fur stretching technologies, which makes it brittle and thin. A fur coat made in this way turns out to be light and cold.
Disadvantages of models with a hood
One of the significant disadvantages of a mink coat with a hood is its cost, which is higher than that of a similar model without it. This can be explained quite simply - the high consumption of fur.
Moreover, it is the volume of this cut detail that plays the main role in the pricing policy. A small hood with a form-fitting effect will not require a lot of fur, and accordingly the price will increase slightly. In turn, a deep and voluminous hood is created from several animal skins, each of which adds a certain amount of money to the original cost of the model.
However, the advantages of mink coat styles with a hood significantly outweigh this drawback, which will fade away over time. A model made of natural fur with this cut detail will prove its practicality and comfort, for which you should not spare any money.

What care does a mink coat with a hood require?
Caring for a mink coat with a hood is accompanied by some nuances that its owner should be aware of.
Need to know! In order for the product to have a presentable appearance for several seasons, and possibly dozens of winters, it needs to be taken care of not only during periods of use of the product, but also during the months when the fur coat hangs in the wardrobe.
Some fur dry cleaners have now acquired special refrigerators for storing fur coats, inside which an optimal microclimate is established. Thanks to such simulated parameters as humidity and air temperature in specialized refrigeration chambers, it is possible to preserve the fur product as carefully as possible from environmental influences . At home, especially during the summer, such conditions are practically unattainable, so the fur becomes brittle, which contributes to its falling out of the skin, and it also lies and sheds.

Several rules will help extend the life of a mink coat at home
If for some reason you cannot hand over your fur coat to professionals, you need to take care of its appearance yourself. It is unlikely that it will be possible to create the necessary microclimate at home, but it is quite possible to perform some manipulations.
- Choosing a storage location. The wardrobe should not let in direct light rays that promote shedding.
- Case . It should not be made of cellophane material, since fur requires constant ventilation. It is desirable that the fabric be natural and as light as possible. When choosing a cover for a mink coat with a hood, it is better to choose an option a couple of sizes larger than necessary. While the product is in the closet, the hood will already cake and leave “wrinkles” on the back, and in a tight case this effect will be even more pronounced.
- Ventilation . It is better to carry out natural air circulation on the balcony 2-3 times a month for several hours. It goes without saying that it is better to do this when there is no direct sunlight on the balcony.
- Hangers . Their shape should not be more or less than the width of the shoulders of the product. Any deviation can deform the fur coat. It is better to choose an option with a soft frame of the hanger frames, which neutralizes the distortion of the product’s shape.
- Anti-mole. Insects are the main enemy of a natural fur coat, regardless of whether the style has a hood or not. By hanging several bags with natural ingredients around her fur coat, its owner will have the opportunity to protect the fur from damage by harmful butterflies.
- Combing . Periodic combing with soft and hard brushes will help smooth out fur jams. This is especially true for the places where the hood touches the back.
All these recommendations are valid for the storage period. During the wearing season, a mink coat with a hood does not need much care. Only if exposed to rain or sleet, which have become the norm for winter, will the fur product require care:
- The first thing you need to do is to carefully blot the pile with a soft cloth without rubbing.
- Second stage: you need to hang the product on hangers corresponding to the size of the fur coat, away from heating devices and direct rays of the sun.
- Fold the hood up and secure it while drying.
- Do not wrinkle or shake the fur coat; leave it in this position until completely dry.

Nuances of choice
If you are thinking about the difficult question of how to choose a quality mink coat, then you are probably looking for some practical advice. So, it is recommended to make such an expensive purchase in large stores, and not in temporary kiosks or trays. Market goods, as a rule, have no guarantee and are not controlled by anyone. Think for yourself: if suddenly the fur coat turns out to be flawed, how will you get your money back? After all, the day after a major sale, the point may simply disappear.
It is not very pleasant to be left with a defective product for which you paid a lot of money. Many potential buyers will argue that buying a fur coat in a large salon is fraught with significant financial costs compared to purchasing from small outlets. Well, this is a compelling argument, but you can always wait until the sales season, such as spring or summer, when really attractive discounts are offered. Although here you need to be prepared for a sharp narrowing of the assortment.
You should carefully study the product before purchasing. Look at the color of the underfur and inner layer. Remember that it should not be unpleasant or yellowish. But the perfect color of the underfur indicates that the product has been dyed. And the flesh should be white, without spots or holes. Yellowness is a sign of old age.
The foreign smell of fur is a reason to refuse the purchase. Stroke the product with your hand. Know that plucked and shorn fur coats are less durable and resistant to stains. The most reliable and durable things are not finished with other fur. You are probably wondering how to choose a quality mink coat? So, the mink pile should shine and be pleasant to the touch. When tugged, good fur does not fall off or stick together. Material with bald spots is probably old, and if the fur coat is made poorly, then when stroking the fur remains in an altered position for a long time. Now take a closer look at the seams: glued fur coats are a beautiful, but useless accessory for one season. It is unlikely that it will last you much longer.
The main thing is that the suit fits...
A high-quality fur coat will decorate a woman, provided that she knows her size, color and style. We have already talked about the last two characteristics, but how to choose the size of a mink coat? You will have to try on more than a dozen to find your model. In some ways, fur coats are similar to wedding dresses: at first glance, they are all beautiful, but there is only one model that you cannot find fault with in anything. Try to choose with both your heart and your mind so that you don’t end up regretting it. Ask questions to the seller, inspect the fur, put on the fur coat and walk around in it, try all the pockets, the inner lining, and the hood.
Spread your arms to their full width and pay attention to whether your fur coat interferes with your movements. If winters are particularly harsh in your area, when making a purchase, consider what clothes you will wear under your fur coat. Thick wool sweater? Then you need something a size or even two larger. But the main thing is not to buy a fur coat that is too tight or smaller than the required size. This is not a swimsuit, and it shouldn’t be tight on you. Small fur coats look skimpy, as if they were taken off someone else's shoulder, so you may be doing yourself a disservice.
SUMMER OR WINTER MINK. MALE OR FEMALE. WHAT'S BETTER?
At first glance, this will sound strange, but if you are choosing a mink coat, then one of the questions you should consider is its gender. Yes, yes, not the one they walk on, but the one with gender. You need to find out whether the coat is made from females or males. The fact is that mink is the only fur in which the skins of females and males are fundamentally different from each other.
And right now you will find out what the difference is and how to choose the right fur so that the fur coat fits perfectly, lasts a long time and meets exactly your needs for keeping warm.
Size and price
The fact that females are smaller than males is a biological fact that is unlikely to surprise anyone. But from here, by the way, comes one popular and unfounded belief - many believe that the fur of a female is better than the fur of a male, because on average such a fur coat costs 20-25% more. But this is a wrong belief. If you brush up on your school math knowledge, you'll understand why. Since females are smaller than males, more of them are required to produce fur coats from the skins of females. This determines the higher price. Simple arithmetic and nothing more. Fur dressing is practically no different. That is, a fur coat made from females is no worse and no better than a fur coat made from males. She's just a little different. Let’s look further into how exactly it differs.
External differences
Externally, the skin of a male mink differs from the skin of a female. The male's fur is thicker, warmer, fluffy and resistant. It lasts longer, is quite heavy and holds its shape well. Females, on the contrary, are light, delicate and graceful. Everything is like in life.
What is made from males and what from females?
Since the fur of males and the fur of females have specific and unique properties, their areas of application are different.
The heavy skins of males are used to make beautiful short fur coats, vests and hats. That is, those styles where a flying and flowing silhouette is not required. But light and flexible women’s skins are excellent for long and flared fur coats.
Winter or summer mink?
The gender of the mink is not the only thing that matters when choosing a fur coat. In second place in importance is its seasonality. When buying a fur coat, it is very important to understand what kind of skin you are looking at - winter or summer. They are different and the differences are significant.
The fact is that in the spring, like all animals, minks molt, and instead of the old fur, they grow a new one - summer fur. As a clearer example, the hare is white in winter and gray in summer. And summer mink fur, as a rule, is much lighter, lighter, smoother and looks more attractive than winter fur. But this is where its first and only drawback arises - summer fur is colder than winter fur, which is absolutely logical for the animal world. And winter, in turn, is much denser, warmer and brighter than summer.
Therefore, if it is important for you to keep warm, then when choosing a mink coat, give your preference to winter fur. If external attractiveness is a priority, then choose a summer mink.
So which is better?
This is the most popular question among ladies purchasing a fur coat. And there is only one answer: the durability of a fur coat is affected not by the type of mink used to sew it (winter or summer), but only by the quality of the workmanship. The seasonality of mink skins determines only its warmth and appearance and nothing more. If you want to keep warm, choose a winter one; if you want to show off, choose a summer one. If you want to wear a fur coat for a long time and without problems, choose a trusted manufacturer.
How to determine whether a mink is winter or summer
It is very simple to determine the seasonality of a mink - by the presence of down. Spread the fur and if you see a lot of fluff underneath, it means the mink is winter, and the fur coat is, accordingly, thicker and warmer.
As you can see, the conclusions suggest themselves. If the external attractiveness of a fur coat comes first for you, then the best choice is a fur coat made from summer skins, and it is better if these are female skins. If practicality and the ability of a fur coat to retain heat come first, then the best choice is a fur coat made from winter skins of males or females.
Choose a mink coat correctly, and it will not only delight you with its availability, but will also fully meet your expectations and the weather. Wear mink with pleasure and don’t freeze!
