Real fur coats are the ultimate symbol of luxury. They are often expensive and not easy to come by. But how can you determine the quality of a fur jacket? How do you know if it's made from genuine fur pelts? With the growing popularity of fur coats, more people are looking to invest in authentic furs. Part of this allure comes from the unique look and feel of real fur jackets. Their high price has turned them into a fashion statement.
When styled correctly, fur jackets can elevate even the simplest outfits while keeping you warm in cold weather. Despite their appearance, real fur coats can be surprisingly lightweight depending on the type of fur. This is one reason why the real fur industry continues to outperform the synthetic fur market. Additionally, faux fur has a negative impact on the environment, with plastic pollution contributing to the death of over 100,000 marine species each year.
As interest in real fur coats persists, some sellers are offering low-quality fur coats at the price of high-end ones. To help you avoid this pitfall, we've put together a list of guidelines to help you identify a high-quality fur coat before making a purchase.
**1. The Texture of the Fur Jacket**
The texture is one of the easiest ways to distinguish a high-quality fur coat from a mediocre one. A top-quality fur coat will feel naturally soft and silky to the touch with an even distribution of fur. In contrast, a poor-quality coat will have clumps of fur and lack the desired fluffiness, often feeling rigid. Keep in mind that even real fur coats can be of poor quality due to wear and tear. Just because a coat is made of genuine fur doesn’t mean it's in good condition.
**2. Fur-to-Leather Ratio**
Leather is generally used on the inside of fur jackets or as a finishing detail. In a true fur coat, there should be more fur than leather. If you’re considering a coat with more leather than fur, it’s likely not a genuine fur coat. Remember, a fur coat with more leather than fur may indicate lower-quality fur or even faux fur.
3. Brand**
While many people trust branded stores and the products they sell, it's still essential to thoroughly examine the coat. Ask the right questions and carefully inspect the coat's texture and lining. Reputable stores will usually provide accurate information about the quality of the fur coat, but they may not always reveal every detail. Since a fur coat can be a significant investment, ensure you’re fully informed before making a purchase.
