Tips about choosing a fur:

  • Check to see that the pelts are lustrous, supple and well-matched.
  • Feel the fur carefully. There should be a dense, soft underfur that is evident to the touch under the glossy guard hairs, which should also be soft, never bristly.
  • Seams should be sewn tightly. Hems should fall straight.
  • Be sure to try the garment on to see if the weight is comfortable for you. You may be surprised at how lightweight many fur coats actually are.
  • When you try on a well-made fur, it should be well-balanced, falling evenly and comfortably from your shoulders.
  • There should be "give" to the leather side of the fur when horizontal tension is applied
