Advantages

A long mink coat, up to mid-calf or just above the ankle, is an excellent salvation from the cold. With such a fur coat, you can safely wear both trousers and a skirt, without worrying about the frost outside the windows.

Another advantage of a long mink coat is its status. The longer the product, the more fur went into its creation, respectively, the higher the price. A luxurious long fur coat immediately declares that this is not a simple outerwear, but an indicator of the well-being of its owner.

A long fur coat assumes a special quality, since the cut below the knee allows you to use the whole skins and minimize the number of seams.

A long coat is the best fit to showcase the precious beauty of the fur, especially when it comes to unusual, expensive breeds of mink, such as "cross".

Models and styles

Trapezium coats look good, the length of which reaches the middle of the calves. The main thing is that such a product should not be too bulky on the shoulders - despite the style, the silhouette should not become voluminous.

Long fur coats with a stand-up collar made in a minimalistic style look great.Another facet is a luxurious collar made of another type of fur, for example, a fox, red or silver fox. Long mink coats with a hood look good, the main thing is that it is soft and voluminous, since a small one will look ridiculous.

Wide batwing sleeves or tapered to the cuffs look interesting. By the way, on the cuffs there can also be inserts from other fur - longer or different in color.

The color of the mink skin is not only a question of aesthetics and beauty, but also an indicator of the uniqueness of the fur, one of the serious components of the price of the entire fur coat.

Sewing methods

Long mink coats have different sewing methods, each of which has its own advantages:

In dissolution. The most expensive and time-consuming sewing method that has come down from ancient times to the present. When sewing "in dissolution", the whole skins are first cut into strips and then gathered together. This allows you to create a softer, lighter and more elastic product, as well as to make the coat look "monolithic", has no seams between the plates.

Plates... Such coats are sewn from whole skins, about the same size as the animal itself. When cutting, the skins are cut into plates, then they are sewn together. This type of sewing makes products more durable and durable, but does not allow the use of complex cut or design "chips" that require more delicate work.

From rags. Fur is a valuable material, they cannot be thrown around. Therefore, less valuable elements are often used for sewing fur coats: legs, tails, foreheads. The skins from these places are carefully collected and stitched. Patchwork fur coats are of two types - those where the "mosaic" is not hidden, but, on the contrary, emphasize, and those that are cut or dyed to hide the heterogeneity.

Facing. Fur (most often long-haired - silver fox, arctic fox) is cut into strips, which are then sewn onto leather or suede ribbons matched to the color of the fur. Long pile overlaps the joints, so that the product looks completely solid and the difference between them is not visible.

What is the price?

The price of a decent length mink coat depends on a lot of factors. This is the value of fur, and the method of tailoring, and the country of origin. If we talk about good, solid products, then in specialized boutiques their price now ranges from 200 to 350 thousand rubles.

There are also more budget options, from sheared or plucked mink. Fur coats sewn with flaps also have a lower price - in the region of 100-150 thousand rubles. Chic design options, made of exclusive fur, can reach the sum with six zeros.

What to wear with?

Long mink coats are most suitable for slender and tall young ladies. But even the owners of the perfect one do not always wear them correctly. First of all, you should pay attention to the shoes.

A long fur coat will look great with heels - boots or ankle boots.

Do not be afraid to buy high shoes for such a fur coat - boots can reach the knee, there will be no imbalance. If you prefer shoes with low soles, then the fur coat is perfectly complemented by strict loafers or oxfords.

For everyday life, it is quite possible to pick up simple clothes for a “floor-length” fur coat - skinny jeans or loose trousers, a sweater or a turtleneck under the throat. An office suit will also look appropriate. The main feature of such a fur coat is that on the street no one will see your outfit dressed underneath, so all attention is on accessories.

If we talk about a headdress, then several options are suitable for a long fur coat. First of all, this is a neat hat made of the same mink, matching or slightly lighter. A good choice is a scarf or a stole tied over your head. It can be wool, silk or cashmere, according to the weather and your preference. Another option is a beret or a knitted hat.

The main thing is not to choose a voluminous headdress, as well as a hat, which will reduce the cost of the image.
