Coat of fox

The Russian climate is perfect for wearing fur products. No outerwear warmer than a fur coat has yet been invented. Fox fur is considered one of the most attractive and sought after. The long pile of this fur is able to warm even in the most severe frosts. A fox fur coat is a fairly popular thing that today can be found in the wardrobe of many girls and women; it can be worn by both young fashionistas and elegant ladies of the age.

The modern variety of fur products allows even the most fastidious young lady to choose the right style. Models of fox fur coats are presented with short fur products, strict jackets, frivolous jackets, comfortable short fur coats, stylish ponchos, practical vests, solemn coats and capes or chic “floor-length” fur coats.

Straight cut or even slightly oversized medium lengths are also popular. It will not add extra volume to its owners, but only emphasize their harmony and femininity.

Fur coats made from fox pieces are in great demand due to the originality of the created models and a more affordable price. After all, the raw materials for such fur coats are the remnants of production, which for some reason did not fit for sewing products from whole skins. The main reason is not marriage, as is commonly believed, but a slightly different shade of fox fur, a different pile length, and so on.

Modern designers love to "play" not only with the shapes of the collars, but also with the sleeves. Full length sleeves can be straight or flared, and three-quarter sleeves with expansion at the bottom are also popular. If a couple of years ago, short fox vests were incredibly popular, then this season it is precisely short fur coats or full-length fur coats without sleeves that are relevant. You can put on your favorite warm sweater under such products, but for a cold winter such a duet is not quite suitable, rather for a cool off-season.

A transforming fur coat is an original product that can be easily turned into a sheepskin coat or vest by unfastening the hem or sleeves with one movement of the hand. A collar or a hood can also be removable for fox transforming fur coats.

Fox fur coats look quite harmonious with transverse or longitudinal inserts made of leather or suede. Such decor also performs a practical function; designers often provide inserts in places most prone to abrasion. The collars, hoods, cuffs and hem of the cropped fox fur coats can also be made of dense knitted jersey.

Fox fur coats on a knitted basis are the trend of recent seasons. Such fur coats are more graceful and lightweight, they do not add fullness and do not distort the proportions of the figure. Knitted fox fur coats are no less popular. The so-called fur knitwear is created as a result of interweaving thin fur strips on a special elastic mesh-base. Knitted fur products are attractive, lightweight and compact; moreover, in contrast to fur coats made of solid plates or pieces, knitted fur costs much less.

A long fox fur coat to the heels is chic, no doubt about it, but it does not really fit into the modern pace and way of life. Such a luxurious product is only suitable for walking to a restaurant or theater, preferably along a clean sidewalk, away from the roadway. You can take a walk in the winter park and arrange a luxurious photo session there.But getting into a car, let alone driving it in a long fur coat, is not convenient, getting in and out of public transport without getting dirty is a difficult task, it is also risky to ride in the metro, a long hem can easily "chew" an escalator. In addition, long fur coats suit exceptionally tall and slender ladies.

There are a number of breeding varieties of fox fur, which serve as raw materials for the production of modern fur coats:

• Russian fox. It has a low soft awn, the texture of the fur resembles a wild fox, the skins are usually quite small.

• North American fox. The awn is longer and harsher, the skins are large enough.

• Norwegian fox. The awn is high with a dense bristle, thick down, large skins.

• Finnish fox. Long guard hair, outwardly reminiscent of feathers, rather large skins.

• The black fox. The shade of the fur is silver-black, the guard hair is medium-long, silky texture of the fur and rich underfur. The more white the wool has, the more it is valued.

• Fire fox. It is characterized by a uniform bright red color, maybe with dark gray down in the depth of the pile, sometimes there is a white color on the guard hairs.

• Cross foxes. When crossing black-brown foxes and moths, a different color is obtained - a cross. The fur has an auburn tint, and black hairs are placed in the middle of the skin in the form of a cross.

• Red foxes. They are characterized by thick, voluminous pile. Minus - the tendency to break off the guard pile.

• Steppe fox (corsac). Habitat - Russia, Southeast Europe and Asia. Korsak is very similar to the common red fox, but much smaller in size. The color of the skins is gray with reddish tints.

• Arctic fox. It is a subspecies of the Arctic fox, inhabits the tundra and forest-tundra. Also called polar, snow or white fox. It is characterized by a long, dense snow-white coat.

Sheared fox coats are quite popular, a haircut allows you to give the fur a more refined look, such a product makes the figure more slender and graceful, but the thermal insulation qualities are noticeably affected. When cutting, the guard hair is cut to the level of the underfur; the sheared fur is quite pleasant to the touch. In addition, the wear resistance of a sheared fur coat is higher than usual, since the shearing increases the protective functions of the fur, it does not roll and does not turn into felt over time.

In addition to clipping and dyeing fox fur, a fashionable trend such as pinching is gaining ground. Plucked fur is obtained by pulling out the longest and hardest fibers from the skins using a special device, leaving the velvet underfur intact. Due to the total removal of the guard pile, the fur coat becomes almost plush.

Another fashionable trend in the fur industry is dyeing the pile in combination with bleaching.At the same time, a different color of fur comes out at the base and at the tip.

• Silver fox. Silver-black color, hairs are colored in three tones - dark gray base, white center and black tips.

• Fire. A bright red uniform color, only a slightly gray cannon is noticeable at the tips. The guard hairs may be white.

• Crossing. The color of the skins is dark red, in the middle there are black stripes in the form of a cross.

• Platinum. The white color of the guard hairs gradually turns into gray, in the middle of the skin - a dark color.

• Silver - a rare color, shimmers in the sun and shines.

• Blue - a kind of arctic fox, the lighter the shade, the more expensive the fur coat.

• Golden - shiny rich, rather rare fur color.

• White. The natural color of the polar fox (arctic fox) in winter is snow-white.

Good quality fur is shiny and does not leave a “greasy” feeling on the hands. Visually, all long hairs should be evenly spaced over the surface of the fur coat and not stick together into "icicles". If there is a suspicion of color fastness, a damp, light-colored handkerchief can be passed over the fur, it is important that it remains clean after the test.
