Muskrat fur coat

European ladies have long “tried” such practical and beautiful fur for a fur coat, like a muskrat. Fashion for such fur coats recently came to Russia, but quickly won the love and trust of women of all ages.

A fur coat from a muskrat, unlike its beaver, related to her, will not live a long life. The low price of the product makes it ideal for everyday wear, but after a few seasons the fur coat will lose its "presentation". At the same time, the muskrat coat shows itself well in difficult climates, with wet snow, wind and frost.

The main advantage of the muskrat fur is that this animal lives both on land and in water. Accordingly, the fur coat of this animal is perfectly protected from moisture, wind and cold. The muskrat itself is very neat and tidy and vigilantly monitors the condition of its fur. Therefore, the skins always look perfect: the fur is soft and smooth, smooth and pleasant to the touch.

Muskrats have flaws and flaws. The first one is seasonal. Skins are divided into summer and winter, and it is difficult to distinguish them by eye. Moreover, the “winter fur” is denser, thicker and brighter, and will last several seasons more than the “summer” fur coats of animals. Another minus - in most cases, the fur coat from the muskrat is colored, which reduces the wear of the product. The lack of muskrat fur - and its low wear resistance. It is believed that such a fur coat can be worn for 3-5 seasons without worrying about its appearance, after which the fur will begin to wipe and become unpresentable.

Classic models - slightly longer than the knee, “trapezoid” style or straight cut are the sales leaders. Such fur coats can be with a hood or a beautiful collar, have a belt, patch pockets or hidden pockets. Despite the fact that the muskrat is a wonderful companion for other furs, one can often find models where the hood, cuffs or hem are trimmed with a mink, arctic fox or silver fox.

Shortened models are a great option for those who often drive or moves in another vehicle. So the fur coat warms, but does not get in the way and does not get dirty. Fur coats with a shortened sleeve also look great - you should wear gloves to the elbow and the stylish look is ready!

We should also say about long coats. Since muskrat is not very expensive, you can afford a warm and beautiful fur coat "on the floor" even for every day! Designers sew fur coats from muskrat and large sizes, all the same the price remains acceptable.

By the way, because of the low price, it is from the muskrat that many youth models are sewn. Young ladies can afford to wear natural fur, choosing original options - a fur coat - “balloon”, “bat” or “year”.

Fur coat from sheared or plucked muskrat is also incredibly good! There are models on which fur does not reach even a centimeter in length. Often only the “body” of the fur coat is sheared, leaving sleeves and a collar with a slightly longer fur. This combination looks very stylish and not easy to guess that in front of you is a coat of muskrat. In the same way, fur coats are sewn - the pile can be both quite long and short, almost plush.

The natural color of the muskrat is a warm brown spectrum. The skins can have a light, beige color, a delicate reddish tint and reach a deep, saturated brown, almost black. However, fur coats are most often painted, since the muskrat fur favors this favorably. Particularly popular are products of silver or bluish hues, also in fashion variations of red.

First of all, you need to evaluate the fur itself - by eye and touch. The fur coat should be soft, silky, and the pile should have a uniform structure. Stroke the product “against the wool” - the fur should not be deformed, and when it is compressed, the hairs should immediately take their original form.

Pay attention to the fact that the real muskrat fur is heterogeneous - the hairs are thicker at the base and thin to the tip. Toward the end, the color is darker. If you get a cropped or plucked product, you can tear out one hair and set it on fire. Natural fur will smell like burnt hair, while dyed or artificial hair will smell chemically.

You should not buy a muskrat coat without trying on. The weight of the product should not be too massive, but not too light. It happens that manufacturers greatly stretch the skins during preparation, increasing their area. But at the same time, the fur coat becomes cold and not sock, significantly loses weight.

Many young women, deciding to buy a fur coat from a muskrat, ask for advice on the Web. Almost all of them say one thing: the products are very beautiful, cost-effective and warm well, but quickly fail. Girls indicate two to four seasons when muskrat coats pleased them.

Often, young girls buy such fur coats, so to speak, try on fur for the first time. Few people are disappointed - the product looks very dignified, a wide range of modern fur coats will allow you to choose a beautiful and practical option.In reviews, it is often written that the fur can easily be confused with a mink, so for less money you can buy a good analog, at least a visual one. Often the muskrat coat is taken either “in a pair” to the down jacket to wear on the way out or in the cold, or, on the contrary, to a more expensive coat to preserve it.
