Rex rabbit fur coat
We need a new beautiful warm fur coat made of natural fur, preferably not expensive. Say, it doesn't work like that? All these requirements are met by elegant fur models made of rex rabbit skins... Outwardly, the fur coat may well be mistaken for a chinchilla, however, the democratic price of the product will immediately make it clear that this is an excellent rabbit sample. The fur looks uniform and dense.
Compared to other rabbit breeds, only the Rex has a cover length of 1-2 cm. At the same time, rabbit fur is distinguished by good wear resistance, which means that a fur coat with proper care will last several seasons.
Very often sellers call rabbit fur a beaver or chinchilla rabbit. Of course, the rex fur has nothing to do with the beaver. The confusion is most likely due to the original name of the rabbit breed "Castor Rex", which translates as "King of the Beavers." A chinchilla is called a rabbit for the similarity of fur in structure and quality.
What is Rex Rabbit?
The Rex rabbit has appeared on the fur market relatively recently. The breed was developed in 1919 in France. The breeders kept all the data secret. It all started by chance, when the owner of rabbits Desir Zhalanion drew attention to a mutation of fur coat in rabbits of the "Belgian Giant" breed. The chestnut fur was very similar to the color of the beaver's skin, and upon closer examination, everyone agreed that the fur was very similar to the chinchilla. This is where the name "King of the Beavers" or "Castor Rex" came from.
For the first time, the rex came to the court of rabbit breeders in 1924 at a specialized exhibition in Paris. A year later, the French rabbits were crossed with Germanic rabbits of the usual breed with non-dominant genes. A new breed with plush fur was registered and quickly spread in European countries. As its subspecies, breeders have also bred the mini-rex breed.It is 2-2.5 times less in weight than a standard Rex.
Rabbits are bred in Germany and Spain. But in general, most of the rex for fur skins is produced in China. As a result of crossing beavers with other rabbit breeds, there are about 20 shades of fur.
Fur types
Rex fur looks very neat. Its uniform coat shimmers beautifully in the sun. Dense pile grows vertically, thanks to this quality, the fur does not wrinkle, and the service life of a fur coat reaches up to 5 years with certain care. In such a fur coat, you will not be afraid of 20-degree frosts.
By itself, the fur can, in appearance, resemble a chinchilla. We have already talked about some of the differences earlier. Chinchilla fur is softer than Rex. In addition, it can be determined by the type of skin - rabbit is close in shape to a square, chinchilla usually looks like a rectangle. But there may not be any differences in color at all. The chinchilla rabbit looks very impressive. All transition effects are preserved - from smoky blue to black.
When buying, pay attention to quality. Experts recommend looking at the fur in sunlight. There should be no wrinkles on its surface. To check the quality of a chinchilla rabbit, you need to swipe over the product with a slightly damp hand. If there are villi left in it, then the technology for the manufacture of skins is violated.

With a sheared rabbit, you get real masterpieces of fashion from the casual style.

Rex looks great on the so-called cross-section fur coats. The fur coat is cut out on a horizontal plane. Outwardly, they look as if the product is assembled from several strips sewn together with horizontal seams. In this version, the transition from light to black looks beautiful. For example, from the upper light layers, the color of the product smoothly turns into black. A fur coat made of chinchilla skins also looks interesting. The combination of gray and black stripes on the common canvas gives the fur coat a luxurious look.
Models
For rabbit fur coats, straight and trapezoidal models are most often chosen. The length of a fur coat can be very different. Ladies of a respectable age can choose a long fur coat, but young people choose short products. Combined models are common. For example, outerwear manufacturers like to combine a rabbit with a polar fox, which adorns the collar of the product. Sometimes there are combinations of rex with muton and skin.
One of the most practical models is a hooded fur coat. Manufacturers try to take into account the wishes of the consumer, since according to statistics, a product with a hood is most often preferred. This is an additional protection against wind and frost.
Rabbit fur allows you to model fur coats of various sizes, and here, of course, a large selection is provided in the size –plus line. Straight and flared styles in any size, the Rex rabbit looks great. Fur coat - a trapezoid will visually stretch the figure and at the same time hide certain flaws. Models for large sizes can be of different lengths, but it is better to stick to the classic length to the knee line and below.
