Fur products are considered a luxury item and sometimes even require saving a large amount of money. Considering the high cost, you need to clearly understand which fur will last you a long time and is the warmest to keep you warm in the most severe frosts.
Whose fur is the warmest
In order to choose a thing from high-quality flesh, you need to pay attention to a number of generally accepted characteristics:
- The fur should be long and thick, without scuffs or bald spots;
- The pile is elastic and, after being rubbed by hand, quickly takes its shape back.
Attention! Often, in order to save money, the manufacturer stretches the inner layer, which significantly affects the quality of the air layer, which is needed to retain heat.
What criteria are used to evaluate heat resistance?
Due to the high cost, only wealthy women can afford to change fur coats every year. As a rule, the majority of consumers purchase them for at least three seasons. To ensure that your purchase does not disappoint even in the most severe frosts, let’s figure out what criteria are responsible for maximum heat retention:
- The most important thing to consider is the thickness of the fur and the density of the flesh;
- The presence of internal filler, wool is added to the products, which makes the fur coat heavier and creates additional heat resistance;
- To complement a stylish look, you can wear sheared fur coats, but they will never be highly resistant to cold winters;
- Products made from solid fur are considered the most valuable and warm.
Another interesting fact is that fur coats made from the skin of a male are much warmer than those made from the skin of a female of the same species. In order not to make a mistake when choosing a fur coat, you need to understand that products are divided into warm and decorative.
Rating of warm fur coats
The fur of the warmest fur coat should not have bald patches, it should be thick and shiny, and soft when touched. When choosing a fur product, each representative of the fair sex relies on her personal preferences and financial capabilities.
First place
All fox breeds rightfully rank first in terms of heat transfer among fur-bearing animals.
It is the skins of this animal that have the longest and thickest fur. Due to such features, fox skin deservedly takes first place in the rating of warmth of a fur product. But, not only this puts fox fur coats in first place, but also the fact that it is distinguished by long-term wear.
Let's also highlight the silver fox, which women choose to emphasize their elegance. Unlike many other furs, it remains warm to the touch even when tested in freezing conditions.
Second place
This includes the following types of fur:
- mink;
- sable;
- chinchilla;
- astrakhan
I would also like to highlight products made from sable, they were the ones that competed with fox fur for first place for a long time, but the experts’ preference was still distributed like this.But nevertheless, the price category for sable fur is much higher due to the complexity of dressing the animal’s skin.
Mink coats are the most popular in central Russia because of their external beauty and are optimal for wearing in severe frost conditions.
Third place
This section includes waterfowl and other species. Otter fur coats are 100% durable.
Important! Experts guarantee wear for at least 10 years.
The hottest trend of the upcoming season will be raccoon fur in natural colors. Pay special attention to this animal; unlike other budget options, its fur is endowed with a thick undercoat, which adds frost resistance to the fur coat.
Furs made from the skins of waterfowl nutria and beaver have special characteristics due to the habitat of these animals. Due to the fact that the natural habitat of these animals is in water, they not only retain their frost resistance, but also retain their beautiful appearance in conditions of snow and rain. This does not in any way affect their long service life.
