Wearing elegant fur isn’t reserved just for celebrities walking the red carpet. If you’ve ever been interested in wearing a real fur coat, a fur vest, fur accessories, or any other type of fur, the good news is it’s likely more accessible to you than you think. Before you go shopping for your first fur, it’s important to remember that your fur coat is an investment so you need to treat it as such. There are plenty of faux fur options available, but they don’t offer the quality that a real fur coat does. Education is key to finding the right real fur coat, and we’ve gone over some important considerations to make when shopping for your first fur.

Only Work With A Trustworthy Furrier

You can get ideas and suggestions from people you know, or even online reviews, about different types of fur coats, but nothing compares to working with a trustworthy furrier. Reputable furriers will have answers to any questions you might have about different types of furs. Plus, you can have peace of mind knowing you won’t be stuck with faux fur when you want to buy an authentic piece. 

The best furriers will ask questions about what you’re looking for, what your style is, how you plan to wear your real fur coat, and other types of questions. Some types of fur coats can be customized to meet your style so you can ensure you get exactly what you want. Be careful about working with furriers who try to push a sale on you without answering your questions since that could indicate they aren’t knowledgeable about particular products. The best furriers will have the right answers or be able to find the answers for you.

Understand The Types Of Fur Coats Available

You have many different types of fur coats to choose from, and each one offers different benefits. Choosing from mink, rabbit, raccoon, lamb, beaver, chinchilla, fox, and other options is more than aesthetics. For example, you might love the appearance of mink fur, but it isn’t nearly as warm as beaver fur. This is where understanding how you plan to wear your real fur coat enters the picture. If you live in a warm climate, you might not need to invest in a beaver real fur coat. In this situation, mink fur could be the best option since it will keep you comfortable on cool days. Comfort is key when selecting furs, so think about the different places you will wear your fur coat to help you determine the perfect type.

Try Different Styles To Find The Perfect Fit

Your professional furrier can give you suggestions on how your real fur coat should look and feel, but you are the ultimate judge of that. Try different styles on and look in the mirror to see how you like it. The fur should fit over your shoulders comfortably and allow you to move freely. Fur coats that are too tight could rip at the seams or get damaged in other ways. And coats that are too loose could be uncomfortable. Your furrier should offer customization options to ensure you have the perfect fur coat for comfort and style.
