Wolf coat

In the recent past, the fate of wolf fur in the fashion industry was a purely decorative function - the wolf trimmed leather clothes and accessories. But in recent years the situation has changed radically - now the wolf coat already looks not wildness, but a stylish and daring element of a fashionable image.

The triumphant return of wolf fur to the catwalks began with men's fashion, but at the moment, designers are happy to create fur coats for the fair half of humanity.

Being by nature an aggressive predator, the wolf boasts a strong, fluffy and very warm fur that allows it to survive in radical winter conditions. The structure of this fur is as follows: under the upper outer hairs that divert water, there is a long and very dense undercoat that perfectly retains heat.

The wolf’s lifestyle has the most favorable effect on the durability of its fur, making clothes sewn from it very unpretentious in operation. Experts draw parallels between wolf and beaver fur.

Due to the fact that wolf fur is included in the category of especially warm furs, this material is actively used for sewing clothes designed for those who live or work in extreme cold. In addition to unsurpassed heat-saving indicators, wolf fur is also characterized by water-repellent properties - it does not melt snow.

As in the case of fur coats sewn from the fur of other animals, the range of wolf products is quite diverse.

The trend is short wolf short fur coats, often equipped with shortened sleeves.Elongated models of such fur can look bulky, so designers resort to the combined structure of a fur coat - strips of fur are interspersed with leather inserts, which visually facilitates the silhouette.

Given the unique water-repellent properties of wolf fur, fur coats with a hood will protect their owners from the most piercing wind and bad weather, becoming a full replacement for an independent headdress.

The wolf is a charismatic and brutal beast, so the fur coats from his fur look great on confident men. In a men's fur coat jacket, it is appropriate and permissible to use solid skins, not strips of fur. For such fur jackets, the best solution would be a straight fit. Combination designs in which fur skins alternate with wolfskin inserts look very advantageous.

Women's fashion for wolf fur coats appeared relatively recently, but many lovers of natural fur have already appreciated cropped short fur coats and fur vests sewn from the skins of a Canadian or steppe wolf.

Such models are usually equipped with suede or leather inserts. This technique is called “in-line”: on the front side, the presence of leather and suede elements is not visible, but gives the fur an original longitudinal pattern.

Fur coat manufacturers consider the wolves of the polar and Canadian breeds to be the most valuable and possessing the most pronounced properties.

The specifics of their natural habitat are such that they are, by definition, “equipped” with a dense and dense mesra, extremely resistant to tearing, and elastic, but durable.

In general, more than 30 subspecies of wolves are distinguished in nature. As a rule, they are divided by the area in which they live. This also determines the natural color of the fur. Do not forget that wolves shed for winter - therefore, for sewing clothes, polar fur with winter wool is mainly used.

The fur of the steppe wolf is also popular. In another way it is called desert, as it lives in the steppes and deserts in Central Asia. This subspecies is characterized by a short and stiff coat of a spectacular pale gray color with unique splashes of ocher color.

A variety of wolf breeds determines the breadth of the spectrum of shades of fur: from snow-white to black, there are also gray, red, cream, fawn and silver textures. Whatever the shade, the wolf's outer hair has a zonal color, differing in stripes of up to five different colors.

Such heterogeneity is appreciated both by itself, in its natural form, and as a "platform" for experiments with dyeing of fur. One of the most relevant is the color under the red Himalayan wolf - this rare, endangered species is also called buanza.

Given the peculiarity of wolf fur, experts advise not to focus on the classic styles of fur coats sewn from it, but to pay attention to experimental models - since the fur structure and the variety of design solutions allow this.

The unusually strong and dense mezra of wolf fur makes it quite difficult to process. Therefore, wolf fur coats are best bought in trusted stores working with well-known manufacturers that guarantee the highest quality of their products.

When choosing a fur coat, you should pay attention to the quality of the joints. In case it is clear that the item is sewn with stiff and uneven stitches, it is better to choose a different model. Yes, the wolf is very brutal, but this should not affect the quality of the cut. It is also important to check the absence of odor from the fur.

Despite the complexity of processing hides, wolf fur is quite budgetary. A fur coat from a wolf can cost two or even three times cheaper than a model of a similar style made from the fur of other animals, similar in structure and main characteristics.

However, big fashion houses also turned their attention to wolf fur, so today you can find products from this material in the catalogs of the most expensive and exclusive fur coats and fur coats, the price tag of which is not inferior to mink or sable counterparts.

Most owners of wolf fur coats note its phenomenal water-repellent and heat-holding properties, as well as unpretentiousness in wear and care. According to many, the best option for outerwear made of fur on the most severe winter days is simply impossible to find. Moreover, the wolf does not look like a utilitarian, purely practical material, but as a worthy alternative to beaver and fox furs.
