Nowadays, muton coats are no less popular and loved by women than expensive valuable fur, and even successfully replace him. Mouton coats are not capricious in leaving, they are not so expensive, while they serve for a long time, but look stylish and elegant.
What kind of fur is this?
Muton is a natural sheepskin, which is processed according to a special technology. The skins are ennobled, cutting the pile to a minimum length, sometimes less than a centimeter, treated with formalin. So it turns out a plush, dense texture, which is nice to touch. Sheepskin lends itself well to coloring, which allows you to create various variations that look very presentable.
Sheep skins themselves are large, therefore, fur coats from them have a minimum number of seams. This allows the fur coat to be more durable and wear, weather resistant. With a small budget, the search for a fur coat for everyday wear often comes down to just a mouton. What can I say, even if very wealthy people buy this option for every day, leaving expensive furs "on the way out".
Combined Options
Today in stores you can find hundreds of options for combined Mouton fur coats. Fashion designers combine a muton with another fur - fox (including silver fox), lynx, arctic fox, astrakhan fur, sable and mink. As a rule, the “body” of such a fur coat is muton, and the belts, the edge of the hoods, the collar, the cuffs on the sleeves, the hem or pockets are made of other fur.
There are also interesting models in combination with skin - leather inserts can be on the sides or on the back, create a “patchwork” effect or have a “patch” type. Mouton coats also come with textile inserts and even have knitted elements.
There are also fur coats sewn from faux fur “under the mouton”. There are children's and adult models, which are often painted in unusual colors - green or pink, under a leopard or tiger.There are options of very good quality, which "by eye" can not be distinguished from natural.
Fashion designers sew fur coats from a lightweight, or, as it is also called, Australian mouton. This is also a real sheep skin made in a special subtle way. Such a product retains all the advantages of an ordinary muton, but acquires its own. Fur coats from the Australian Mouton are very thin, light and practically weightless.
Models
First of all, models of muton coats differ in the type of cut.
It can be straight or flared, fitted, "trapezoid" or "balloon". Each woman knows the features of her figure and selects the perfect option for herself. It should be understood that outerwear should not hamper the movement, and when choosing it is worth measuring and the model is larger than you usually wear.
Muton coats of large sizes are sewn by many designers. Here the situation is exactly the same as with dresses. There are many models of interesting shades, with various nuances that distract attention from the volume of the figure. Stylists do not recommend full women to choose dark fur coats of a straight cut - femininity is lost in them, the silhouette becomes large and rough. It is better to give preference to options with a belt.
Also, models of fur coats differ in the cut of the collar. If you want to abandon the headgear or, on the contrary, insulate yourself additionally, pay attention not models with a hood. It can be both a modest continuation of a fur coat, and its zest. Hoods can be trimmed with other fur. - mink or arctic fox, or have a "stuffing" of other material. There are models where the hood is made in a contrasting color, as a rule, some other elements on the fur coat are made in the same color - for example, pockets.
Models with a stand-up collar look interesting. If you want, then such a collar can be draped with a scarf, stole or snood, if desired, you can flaunt a long chiseled neck. Turn-down collar models are also winning - round, sharp or asymmetric. There are many models with interesting accessories: bright buttons, unusual clasps and other details that give a special charm to the product.
Of course, muton coats are sewn not only for young ladies. There are many male models - From the cut “coat” to the insulated jackets for motorists. As a rule, male models have a similar cut - straight or fitted, stand-up collar or turn-down, leather inserts.
Muton coats for children are very popular.. The most comfortable - cut "trapezoid", with a deep cozy hood. Often, children's models are painted in bright colors, and in terms of appearance such products are not inferior to down jackets. A muton fur coat for a girl of any age is not only a warm and practical outerwear, but also the first fur product. In it, the young lady will feel stylish and feminine, appreciate the benefits of fur.
Styles
Like any fur coat, a muton has different styles. A coat-dressing gown, fitted, most often with a belt, is considered a classic. The flared fur coat or the butterfly option looks great, in which not only the hem, but also the sleeves are sewn wide.
For adherents of the classical style, coat-coats from a muton - straight or A-shaped are suitable. They differ in details, say, a cut collar. If such a fur coat is completely sewn from a muton, a stand-up collar or a small rounded version will look good. Combinations with other fur are good - on the collar of both male and female fur coats the Arctic fox, silver fox, and fox look wonderful.
Length
The length of the coat is one of the main characteristics that decide a lot. When choosing a model, you should consider its length in advance.
Long fur coats from a mouton “to the floor” look luxurious, but this is not the most practical option. In addition, wearing a skirt or dress with a hem is much shorter than a fur coat - a bad taste.Accordingly, a long coat is suitable for an evening out or in case you easily and with pleasure wear maxi-clothes daily.
The best option is a muton coat just below the knee. This model will warm even in the cold, allow you to wear both trousers and a skirt, do not restrict movements. Such a fur coat is closest to the everyday option, especially if you are walking. But for motorists, a shortened model below the back will be a good choice. She will not interfere with driving, she will cover her back and lower back, she will not get dirty or remember. Short coats are also good "exit".
Popular colors
Out of time and out of fashion trends, classic colors: black, gray, chocolate and dark brown. White fur coats and models of light shades are always in fashion: beige, coffee with milk.
In the upcoming season, designers have paid a lot of attention to shades of gray. Graphite, steel, silver faux fur coats were included in the collections of many designers. Warm gamut is fashionable: fur coats of walnut and chestnut color, red, golden shades are very popular.
It is worth highlighting the original colors. As we have already said, a muton is loyal to coloring, therefore models on bright catwalks proudly walk in bright green or blue fur coats painted with a leopard and even a zebra. These models will suit young ladies who do not hesitate to be in the spotlight and whose wardrobe allows such bold outerwear. Note that with a bright fur coat even a sporty image will be appropriate. Against the background of white snow, active colors look very impressive, and given the fact that a mouton coat can be not very expensive, such a color scheme can be “one of” in the wardrobe, on occasion or for mood.

Fashion trends
In the upcoming season, at the peak of fashion, non-standard mouton fur coats - the “bolero” options are super short (very relevant in the wedding version), the “jacket” is short in front and elongated at the back, and the “bell” is a narrow top and a flared bottom as much as possible. Short mouton jackets with voluminous hoods are also considered fashionable this winter.
Also, fashionistas are offered options with shortened sleeves - And this can be either “three fours” or a real extreme - fur coats, where the sleeve barely covers the shoulder. It is better to wear such models with long warm gloves above the elbow.
Another fresh trend is the flared hem with active finish. In this case, the coat "runs away" directly from the chest line. On the hem there may be contrast trim with other fur or wedge-shaped inserts made of leather and suede.
Designers demonstrated a lot of outlandish models this season. In the fashion of asymmetry, unusual styles, cut "balloon" or "tulip", active decor, fur products without votornika with a V-neck.
Manufacturers
Very worthy faux fur coats are sewn in Russian factories. Russian designers have made a significant contribution to fashion trends that relate to products made of mouton, correlating excellent quality, luxurious appearance and affordable price.
An excellent example is the Kalyaev fur factory located in Moscow. Muton coats are sewn here, oriented to the buyer of any age and affluence. Fur coats of mutton and sheepskin are sewn by the Russian factory Russian Fur, the five-mountain factories Favorit, Annushka, Karolina, Nika, Edita and many others.Pyatigorsk fur company "Alef" specializes in the production of natural fur products and is one of the largest Russian enterprises producing women's and men's clothing from ennobled sheepskin.
In Pyatigorsk, the history of the brand Elena Furs began, now the second largest fur factory of this company is located here. Sheepskin for fur coats produced here is purchased at the largest fur auctions in the world, therefore the brand's fur coats are able to satisfy the most demanding taste.
Care Tips
Mouton coat requires careful storage and proper care, like any other fur. It is important to properly arrange the fur coat in the closet - you do not need to hang a wet product there, you do not need to push the fur coat between other things, since the fur must breathe. For long-term storage, a muton coat should be sent in a special cover for the fur.
Experts advise storing a light coat in a light case, dark - in the dark. The cover should be fabric, and the coat should hang on the shoulders. Do not choose fragile plastic or wire. To prevent the product from losing its appearance, place it on wide massive wooden shoulders.
Interestingly, mouton fur coats are not interesting for moths. The fact is that before dressing, the sheepskin is treated with formalin to give the coat a uniform structure, thicken the hairs and make the fur immune to weather. Therefore, insects do not eat mouton coats and you do not need to process them separately.
When the winter season is over, it is better to take the coat to dry cleaning, where it will be refreshed and prepared for summer storage. For the next season, you will get a fresh and neat coat from the closet. The same applies to old coats - they can be attributed to the studio, so that the master will tell you whether it is possible to revive the color, perhaps to update the lining. Before this, it is also worth going to a dry-cleaner to remove dust and unpleasant odors accumulated over a long time.
Reviews
On the forums devoted to reviews of purchases, girls often discuss precisely fur coats from Mouton. This purchase is important not so much because it involves individual expenses. It is important that the fur coat lasts more than one season, does not lose its appearance and warming properties, so the reviews of real customers are very appreciated.
I must say that most of the girls who bought a muton coat are happy with the purchase. The average cost of the product, judging by the reviews, is 45-60 thousand rubles. Moreover, the names of Russian factories, the quality of which pleases, often flash on the forums.

How to choose?
Buying a fur coat, the main task is to evaluate the fur. It’s worth starting with a visual inspection. A muton is a sheared sheepskin, so you need to evaluate how smooth the fur is, whether there are swings, dents, bald spots or wiped places. The next step is to smell the fur coat. Ideally, it should be odorless. If there is an outsider - paint, chemistry, then it is better to abandon the model.
When choosing a fur coat, you should have a white handkerchief with you - rub the mouton with force, if there are any traces of paint on the scarf, this is a bad product, when it was stained, technology was not respected. If the fur coat does not get dirty, you can evaluate the dressing. To do this, squeeze the edge of the product, for example, on the hem. Quality fur should crack down instantly.
The fur coat should be stroked, even pulled by the hairs - all of them, without exception, should remain in place, when stroking against the pile, the fur should go soft and pleasant, not prick and not break. Inspect the seams - they should be even, slightly convex, not have traces of glue. If possible, rub the mesdra from the inside; if it is dry and makes creaking sounds, then the skins should be overdried. Such a fur coat may dry out and crack very soon.
Do not forget to evaluate the quality of insulation and liner. A high-quality muton fur coat warms from five to ten seasons, and not least thanks to the insulation. If all of the above is normal, you can safely look at the selected model seriously.
What to wear?
Muton fur coat is a practical and comfortable thing that can be worn with anything. It is easy to form an image on the basis of a skirt or dress, and on the basis of trousers. Jeans work well with cropped fur coats, and a pencil skirt and a warm turtleneck look with midi options.
Choosing a hat is also not difficult. It can be a knitted hat or snood, good options with a fur pompom. You can tie a scarf or stole on your head, pick up a beret. Scarves, mittens and gloves are also chosen to taste - these can be either neutral accessories or bright sets.
Any shoes go well with a muton coat. In case of severe frosts it can be felt boots or ugg boots, for every day - boots with flat or “tractor” soles, for the office - heels, stilettos, wedges. At the same time, shoes can be classic black or brown, made of suede or leather, or more original - with fur inserts, unusual colors and styles.
A muton with a ladies' reticule will easily make friends, regardless of its shape and color. Shoulder bags, small clutches, impressive shoppers and even leather backpacks - everything will be appropriate with a mouton coat if the image is harmoniously built in the rest.
The images
Gorgeous snow-white model of a very stylish, rich cut. The style is slightly flared to the hem, which creates a feminine, even somewhat doll-like image. The hood is made integrally with the top of the fur coat - a cozy and warm product is obtained in which the wind and frost will not affect even the delicate skin on the neck. Original trim with cross strips of fur makes the fur coat charming.
Classic model with a twist. The deep black color of the fur is diluted with details - a leather belt and a decorative clasp on the collar. The combination of a mouton with a mink cross turns this coat into an expensive and stylish product that looks elegant and does not even have a hint of budget.
Fashionable, but at the same time practical and warm option. A coffee-colored fur coat with a neat texture pattern is a wonderful everyday option for those who do not like dark colors. The fur coat goes well with chocolate gloves and high boots with a steady heel. The hood with the edge of the fox fur makes the coat elegant.
