With the onset of cold weather, the popularity of warm outerwear increases many times, the brightest representative of which is a fur coat.
It allows not only to keep warm in severe frosts, but also to create a spectacular image.
Made from animal fur, it will last a long time and will perfectly warm even on the coldest days.
Types of fur coats
Fur coats differ not only in models, but also in the variety of furs and the method of sewing. External signs rarely affect the functional features of the product, but have considerable weight when choosing it.
Fur coats come in three types, each of which has its own advantages. "Cross" looks more gentle and feminine. A longitudinal coat is more like a whole coat, which, in turn, is a product sewn from a whole piece of fur.
The types of fur coats differ not only in the way they are sewed, but also in the variety of furs, each of which has features of appearance.
Wolf coats have a very dense fur structure, which makes the product incredibly warm, and the characteristic color will undoubtedly attract attention and become the highlight of the image.
The weasel skin is very delicate and has a short pile, therefore, outwardly it looks more weightless and light, but is not inferior in warmth to other options.
The lamb, especially the shorn one, has a not very fleecy skin, but it is very pleasant to the touch and beautiful visually, because it looks like luxurious velvet.
Bear skins have a dense texture, are good for severe frosts and are especially popular in the manufacture of children's fur coats, because it is very important to keep the baby warm to avoid seasonal colds.
The Honorik fur coat has a short hard pile, which makes its surface smooth and “glossy”. It looks, although simple, but quite beautiful and in most cases is presented in dark colors.
A rather interesting way of sewing a fur coat is to dissolve. To make such a fur coat, the fur skin is cut into several small pieces that are sewn together to form a single piece of fabric.
The need for such tailoring is that the skins of some animals are too small and mottled to create a complete product, so you need to select the most suitable pieces.
Some fur manufacturers make dog fur coats, this helps save cost. Outwardly, such a product looks like a wolfskin coat.
The kangaroo fur coat has a very short pile, literally one millimeter long. Visually, such a product looks like velvet or velor. Although this coat looks luxurious, it will be useless without special lining in severe frosts.
A fur coat made of sakara skin, better known as astrakhan fur, is not suitable for severe frosts, because it does not have a strong insulating effect. This product can be used up to minus fifteen degrees, at a lower temperature there is a risk of freezing.
Ostrich fur coats are rather a decorative thing, since such a fluffy pile is not quite practical in Russian climatic conditions and in everyday life. But as an addition to the evening outfit, such a fur coat looks simply gorgeous.
Fur coats are also made from sheep skin, from fur of fur seal, vicuna, alpaca and roe deer. These products are more likely demi-season in nature, but due to the short smooth pile are not suitable for frost.
The skin of a wolverine is quite fluffy and the fur coat from it turns out to be warm. The fur has a long pile and a dark, black-brown color.
Fur coats are also made from badger and deer skins, which are also quite popular and have a very reasonable price.
Fur coats from mink, arctic fox, muton and nutria are more expensive. Models of these fur coats are considered elite and are not accessible to everyone.
In addition, fur coats can be sewn in different ways: with the fur outward or inward. And if everything is clear with the first option, then the second raises many questions. A fur coat sewn with fur on the inside looks like a jacket or coat on the outside, and inside has a dense woolen coat, thanks to which it is incredibly warm.
Fancy Fur Coats
The coat, combining several varieties of fur, looks quite unusual and original. The top of this product is made of astrakhan or lamb, and the lower part is made of ostrich fur. Thanks to this unusual combination, the product looks like a dress and has a very feminine look.

An English collar is called a folding collar, forming a V-neck. Fur coats may also have such a collar, but since the throat remains open in such a product, an addition in the form of a scarf, warm scarf or sweater with a high neck is necessary.
Of course, no model range of outerwear does not cost a style for pregnant women. Fur coat like nothing else is perfect for expectant mother to keep herself and her tummy warm.

Reviews
- Recently I acquired a mink coat from a domestic manufacturer in the Mir Fur store. The product is very beautiful and high quality. I was pleased with the wide range and quite a decent price - only 62 thousand rubles. The sellers warned that I could think for a month, and if I suddenly do not like my purchase, I can return or exchange for a new one, provided that the fur coat is in perfect condition.
- We had a rest with my husband in Turkey and visited a fur factory with an excursion. Seeing the model of a mink whole fur coat on the floor, and then, having familiarized herself with the price of $ 2300, she was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t fail to purchase the product. For the third winter it was leaving in it, the fur coat is very warm! I didn’t specify the return account, but I’m not going to return it, because it is ideal for me!
Selection tips
When choosing a fur coat, first of all, you should pay attention to its quality, and more specifically - to the quality of the fur coat.
The fur should not have scuffs and bald spots, talking about the painful condition of the animal or that the product has already been worn before you and, selling you, is simply passed off as new.
The quality of the fur is checked in a fairly simple way: you need to hold it with your hand or a comb in the direction opposite to the hair growth. Natural fur will quickly assume its original state, and synthetic fibers will succumb and remain in the position in which you brought it.
Since fur coats are sewn in factories using special machines and machine tools, seamstresses can easily skip sticking threads. It is worth paying attention to them, because some can simply be cut off, while others will entail a divergence of the entire seam.
If you do not understand the fur coat of products, it is better to seek the help of a specialist, as dishonest sellers give cheaper fakes for expensive products.
In addition, high-quality fur coats have a certificate in accordance with GOST, by requiring which you can get all the necessary information about the product.
How to care for a fur coat?
The fur coat, although it is a massive voluminous product, is still very delicate and fragile, therefore, it needs special care.
- Firstly, it is better to store it in a special cover for clothes, which will protect the product from dirt and dust particles that can clog between the villi.
- A few balls of naphthalene should be put in the cover, which will help protect the fur from insects - pests such as moths.
- If the fur coat is very dirty during socks, of course, you can always go to the dry cleaner, but sometimes it requires a serious cost of money.
- To save your budget from big expenses, you can clean the coat from pollution at home.
How to do this correctly so as not to harm the product, as well as for cleaning to be effective, we’ll take a closer look at the example shown in this video.
What to wear?
Many people may wonder what to combine with such a magnificent luxurious product as a fur coat, but one should not be too smart about the image, because everything ingenious is, in fact, very simple.
If you go to a party, and you just have to go from room to car and back, you can safely combine a fur coat with elegant high-heeled shoes or simple sneakers.
Regarding heels, it can be noted that in the winter, boots and ankle boots with heels are best purchased as weekend shoes, since during the ice season, heels can slip and fall.
Therefore, the choice of high-heeled boots, as well as high over-the-knee boots, should not be made its main task.
For everyday use, it’s best to buy flat boots or a small steady heel, warm fur boots or winter sneakers.
Ugg boots will also be an excellent option, only if they are made of natural materials - suede, natural fur and high-quality heat-resistant rubber sole. Such a pair is much more expensive than fakes, but it will last much longer and will not expose your feet to cold.
For fur coats with a rounded and v-neck, you will need stylish snoods, scarves and warm wool scarves.
As a headdress, you can use various knitted or fur hats, as well as stylish hats.
Regarding the rest of the clothes, it is worth noting that her choice must be made based on the model of the fur coat itself. But in general, trousers of different models and skirts of different shapes will do.
