If you cannot imagine winter without natural fur, then allow yourself such an exotic treat as a lynx fur coat. Lynx fur is valued more than sable, and if you want to catch admiring glances on yourself, then this option is for you.
Features
Lynx fur is rare due to the fact that the licenses for catching this animal have a decent price issued for a certain short period. Lynx is predominantly caught in Canada, and the fur that is obtained in winter is most valued. Summer fur is coarser and shorter. In captivity, these animals are not bred for fur trade.
The most valuable part of the lynx is its abdomen, while on the back the pile is shorter. Therefore, elite fur coats are sewn exclusively from abdominal fur, more economical products from the whole skin, however, fur from the abdomen will certainly adorn the most prominent place - a collar or chest. The same is true when decorating hoods: the more valuable fur part goes to the outside, the rest to the inside.
Each species of this beautiful animal (and there are only a few of them in nature) has its own distinctive and unique color. Lynx fur is so beautiful that it is not dyed like other fur. It is durable in a sock, it is steady against severe frosts, the pile does not freeze. By the way, the lynx fur surpasses the rabbit, ermine, and polecat in wear, although it is inferior to mink fur.
Lynx skin is very light, almost weightless, when compared with other furs. This fur is very thick and warm, so it is suitable for the category of women who are constantly freezing. To the touch, the lynx is unusually pleasant, soft and fluffy.
There are frequent cases of fake lynx fur, for example, a white fox painted as a lynx.But exposing a fake, as a rule, is not a big deal. In addition, under the guise of a lynx, they sometimes try to sell clothes from a lynx cat. But these are different animals. The lynx cat has smaller sizes, its fur has a beautiful spotted color similar to the lynx, but the pile is shorter, there is no such splendor and volume. Also, the fur of this cat is short-lived in the sock.
Models
Various products are made from lynx fur: fur coats, coats, jackets, vests.
If the fur coat is entirely made of lynx, then this makes certain demands on its style: it must be extremely simple so that this chic fur flashes with all its colors. The comfortable model of a trapezoidal silhouette elegantly looks. This season, stand-up collar, shortened sleeves, asymmetric cut are in fashion.
It must be remembered that lynx fur will inevitably give volume, therefore it is unacceptable for a full figure. In this case, it is worth choosing a combined option. Moreover, its cost will be much lower. For example, a mink, beaver or raccoon coat may have a hood or collar made of lynx. Red fur is also used as a decoration for fur coats and sheepskin coats, for example as a hemline, sleeves or pockets. It should be noted that usually it goes well with a short-haired fur of a neutral color (variegated options are excluded), which will shade all the beauty and exoticism of the lynx.
Fur coats from a trotter cat are also popular, they are short-haired, but they also look very impressive.
If you really want to have a cat coat, but you are short of money, you can compromise and buy a fur coat for a lynx. These are products from cheaper fur, such as a rabbit or raccoon, having a characteristic, artificially applied pattern. Such things can also be made of faux fur.
Length
As for the length, the fur coats from lynx fur are presented in various versions. If you drive a car and dream of a “cat” coat, choose a short model to the waist or a little lower with a shortened sleeve. Mini models generally look spectacular on slender girls.
Classic knee length is always appropriate. In the long version, the lynx fur will appear in all its glory and splendor.
Types of fur
The fur industry uses in production the following types of lynx skins: Canadian, red and ordinary, having their own distinctive features.
Canadian Lynx is known for a browner color.
The redhead is small in size, has a white belly with the most attractive colors and a short pile.
Common lynx (another name is Russian or white) also has a light abdominal part (sometimes snow-white), thick and long fur. This is a very rare animal, and they sell it mainly from poaching sources. It should be borne in mind that under the guise of a white lynx, they often sell clarified less expensive material.
Color
Among other types of fur, lynx occupies a special place due to its color. Unusual charm and dynamics create soft overflows from white to caramel and a cascade of splashes of chocolate color.
The natural shades of this fluffy fur are extremely beautiful: from dark red to smoky on the back and sides and a particularly valuable abdominal part, lighter with dark brown spots. The more contrasting the colors of the lynx, the higher its price. In this regard, the most expensive products are made from abdominal skins: they have a light background (it is bright white in the Russian lynx) and large saturated brown spots. More economical options sew from the sides. They can be recognized by a rich gold or white background and small black spots.
High-quality skins shine in different shades, golden, red, chocolate, being the ideal raw material for the production of luxury outerwear.
As already mentioned, the lynx cat has a brighter and more saturated color, reminiscent of the Russian lynx.
It is clear that such a splendor of color does not need additional coloring.Therefore, lynx fur coats have their own natural color.
How to choose?
When buying a fur coat from a lynx, as well as any other fur, extreme caution must be exercised. The most important thing is to carefully examine the fur: it should be uniform, soft, without bald patches and tangled fragments. Swipe it with your hand - there should not be a single hair on the fingers.
On the product (both from a lynx and from a lynx cat) the buyer must provide a certificate. By the way, European salons have accompanying documents for these fur clothes, where the license number of the skins is listed (since these animals are listed in the Red Book).
How much is?
Having a trot fur coat in your wardrobe is extremely expensive. The high price is due to the unique appearance of the fur, as well as rarity. The number of animals in nature is small, they are not bred at special animal farms, it is very difficult to obtain a license for shooting.
The spread in prices for lynx products depends on the quality of the fur (absence of defects) and parts of the skins from which the thing is sewn.
You can carry out a kind of classification of fur coats, from relatively inexpensive to elite:
- Clothes from the backs (some famous brands do not even sew such products, from 70 thousand rubles).
- Fur coats from the side parts (they can be recognized by the yellow-golden background).
- Options from expensive fur, mink or sable with trot trim.
- Exclusive single models of abdominal skins, inaccessible to the mass consumer (from 15 thousand dollars).
We also note that a fur coat from a white (Russian) lynx will cost more than a similar coat from a Canadian or red one.
Reviews
Most women - the lucky owners of this exotic beauty of fur - are rightly proud of their purchase, even those who have a lynx, for example, have only a fur coat collar. Some scrupulous customers find their disadvantages of these products. Like any fluffy fur, lynx is capricious in sock. But with proper care, it will delight you and will last several seasons.
What to wear?
Putting on such an extraordinary thing as a fur coat made of lynx fur, you need to carefully select accessories. After all, such a bright model harmoniously looks only with certain, calm, clothing colors, best of all plain.
Dark skinny trousers or jeans will look good with a short model. If you are going to a business meeting, you can wear a plain business suit.
The long coat is suitable for special occasions. Therefore, combine it with stilettos (women in such fur do not usually walk) and an evening gown on the floor. A maxi-fur coat also looks seductive with a classic little black dress. According to stylists, putting on a long coat in the afternoon is a manifestation of bad taste.
Three-quarter sleeve options must be complemented with long, elegant gloves. Shoes are preferable to choose on an average heel, a high hairpin will not look harmonious, as well as a solid sole. The ideal headdress (if it is, of course, necessary) is a fur hat made of identical fur, knitted in this case is unacceptable. The option with a hood looks great and without a hat.
If you wear a fur coat during the day, choose a medium or medium sized bag in black or brown. At the evening event, grab a miniature clutch bag to complement your stylish look.
Mention should be made about the lynx vest. You can wear it with informal jeans and the same style of shoes (cowboy ankle boots, “Cossacks”).
Spectacular images
Charming short model with a belt. A massive turn-down collar with decorative trim along the edge and long flared sleeves lends style to the look. The rest of the black clothes (by the way, the girl is also brunette) is designed to set off all this splendor: a turtleneck, tight-fitting trousers. It is necessary to dwell separately on the boots: they are very beautiful, made of patent leather, have a decoratively expressed cape.White beads in two rows have something in common with a shade of a fur coat and look spectacular on a black background.
Another option worthy of admiration. The coat is a classic mid-knee length with a luxurious fluffy collar. The original design decision is a wide insert on the belt of black astrakhan and similar on the sleeves. The sleeve is flared, which emphasizes the lightness and weightlessness of the fur. The black color of the girl’s hair echoes the color of the karakul, bringing harmony to the image. A short, narrow skirt of the same black color is an appropriate addition to such a fur coat.
A truly royal model for a girl accustomed to luxury. The long fur coat on the floor is obviously made of the most elite fur of a white lynx. An evening exit option in order to once again emphasize your status and beauty. Decorated with rhinestones, a mini dress that opens flawless legs and original chocolate-colored fringed boots is another reason to attract attention. Well-groomed hair and impeccable makeup of the girl are quite consistent with the image.
