This gives simple down jackets the look of a chic item that can be purchased for very modest money.

With natural fur
Models of jackets with natural fur have a variety of variations, because it can be not only different cuts of products, but also different types of fur used in them. When choosing a particular fur, you need to focus on its following characteristics:
- Mink - one of the most popular furs. The hairs are of the same length, when they are passed along the pile of the fur with the palm of their hand, they evenly and quickly fit back, shimmering in the sunlight.The distinctive qualities of this fur are warmth and exceptional wear resistance.
- Sable - one of the most expensive furs. Since the Middle Ages, not only Russian sable fur coats, but also collars are highly valued all over the world. Despite the fact that today it is possible to dye fur in any color and change its texture, designers often use sable in its original form. This gives the models a noble and royally luxurious look.
- Fox - very popular fur, especially in black and brown color. It combines well with leather. Styles of winter leather down jackets are very popular, where the front part is completely sewn from silver fox. Such styles are combined with fox hats, where a lush tail is used as a decoration instead of a pompom.
- Raccoon fur is the warmest. In nature, it is found in a gray-brown, brown color, but when sewing products, it is almost always tinted. Designers love this fur for its fluffiness and excellent wear resistance.

The range of colors that are applicable to jackets with fur is very diverse. Let's look at the main and most popular shades of down jackets.
White
When choosing such a brand of a jacket, you should pay special attention to the fact that the fur trim is unfastened from the product, since this down jacket will have to be washed very often.

Red
Red down jackets are best combined with long-haired fur, for example, with a silver fox. It is better to choose a shade of a darker tone than the jacket itself.
An excellent option would be a combination with two-tone fur, in which the down is light at the base and the ends of the hairs are black. Such a color will be very interesting to “play” with color, giving the jacket an even brighter and more attractive look.
Blue
In a blue or light blue down jacket, you will look light and airy, because it is usually combined with gray or white fur.
