True, in addition to external signs, a marmot coat is distinguished from a mink coat by lower wear resistance and thermal insulation qualities. It is recommended to wear an uninsulated marmot fur coat at a temperature not lower than -10 ° C, then it will be quite cool after that. It's not for nothing that the animal itself sleeps in winter! But if your region has mild "European" winters, or you plan to wear a fur coat only in late autumn or early spring, and also do not intend to purchase a fur product for at least ten years, you can safely make your choice in favor of marmot fur.

High-quality fur of the highest grade is used for the production of expensive and high-quality fur coats. The lower grades of fur are immediately visible in products that are striking for their "slovenliness", mainly the unevenness of the hairline associated with the fact that the animals bit their fur, fighting parasites, or excessive baldness caused by the fact that animals were killed during molting ...

The marmot, like most other types of fur, is sheared, thereby lightening and ennobling the product. The main thing is that the foams of the guard hairs remain in place, otherwise it will be cold in a plucked fur coat even with a slight minus.
Colour
Natural colors of marmot fur – sandy yellow, reddish brown and ash gray. Sheared fur coats, where the dark tips of the guard hair are cut off, are quite light in color. The most common colors in which marmots are painted are black and dark brown. Manufacturers thereby try to give marmot fur coats a resemblance to luxurious mink coats. Products made of marmot fur are rarely dyed in bright colors, but, nevertheless, burgundy and purple models are also found.

Turn around, move your arms, sit down, bend over. If there is no discomfort, you can proceed to a thorough examination of the thing.: first of all, shake the fur coat, if you hear a clear crunch or rustle, then, probably, it was sewn from old skins, a high-quality fur product does not "rattle"; then pull the fur, it should not fall off easily, the coat should be shiny, without bald patches; look under the lining, the flesh should be soft, of an even beige color without rusty spots; there should be high-quality thin seams between the skins, if they are not there, the fur coat is glued, and it is better to stay away from it. Don't forget to look at the labeling tags. Be sure to run a damp cloth over a dyed fur coat; as a result of the test, not a hint of paint should remain on it.
