Features and Benefits

In winter, you need to be especially careful about choosing your wardrobe. And the purchase of outerwear of excellent quality, which is guaranteed to warm in cold weather, is not a whim, but a necessity. And what can warm you better than a fur coat, especially from such fur as a fox: thick, fluffy, soft, very warm, cheerful red, so reminiscent of the sun, which we all miss so much in winter? Fox fur is considered one of the heat retention champions and will last at least 8 years. A fox coat costs, surprisingly, inexpensively - from 20 thousand rubles. And one more thing: a bright fox coat helps its mistress look not just beautiful, but luxurious, emphasizing her dignity, and not obscuring them with her magnificence.

Fur varieties

A fox fur coat is suitable for any woman - the main thing is to choose your fur and the right style! Indeed, in our days, the fox is not only red or silver-brown and its varieties. In addition to those that are found in the natural conditions of nature, thanks to breeders, there are hybrids that amaze with incredible colors. Now coats made of wild fox fur are almost never sewn. In mass sale - products from a farmer's fox, that is, grown in artificial conditions in nurseries around the world. Several types of foxes have formed, differing from each other in the texture and structure of the fur:

  • Russian. It has a low and soft outer hair, medium-sized skins. The structure of the hair is most similar to a wild fox.
  • American. The outer hair is longer and stiffer, the size of the skin is larger. But in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe cross, where the shoulder blades, a noticeable dip is visible due to the shorter length of the fur.
  • Norwegian (or Scandinavian). It has a high awn and dense pile with dense and high underfur, well supporting the awn. Because of this, fur is especially good for finishing and is considered the best. The skins are large.
  • Finnish. The skin is large, with a thick pile. Feature - the largest length of the outer hair, resembling narrow feathers. From the fur of this type, especially sensual models will be obtained.

There are about 20 varieties of the common red fox. The cooler and northerly the region, the richer the red color of the fur, the southerly and warmer, the calmer the color.

The brightest shade of red is in the Gold Fox: a noble red-orange color with a gray undercoat. Such fur also shimmers in the sun, resembling a dancing flame. The moth is found in Kamchatka, but it is also found in Chukotka, the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin, that is, it is our domestic species. This is the most expensive fox fur.

The most famous yellowish-reddish hybrids:

  • “Golden Island Fox”: cold, light yellow, turning white towards the tummy, with a smoky gray color deep under the underfur and on the ridge.
  • Seychelles fox: cinnamon-colored awn and ocher yellow underfur.
  • light fawn Fawn Light Fox: yellow-pink color fading to light brown on the spine.

Of the white and silver species, first of all, the “snow fox” (White Fox) with snow-white fur is distinguished.

Also light and “platinum fox” (Platinum Fox) - white with a soft gray tint due to the gray tips of the outer hair, which darkens towards the middle of the back and turns into a black ridge, and towards the neck, on the contrary, brightens, forming a white “collar”.

The polar fox, the arctic fox (Arctic Fox) are all subspecies of the arctic fox related to the fox. Often these two subspecies are combined into one, since the only difference - the platinum shade of the Arctic fox - does not appear in all of its representatives. In the world of fox furs, a similar name is found - Arctic Marble Fox or "Arctic marble". This fur is similar to the "platinum fox", as it also has white hair, but is distinguished by the absence of gray tips. Instead, there is an awn completely painted in one color: black - at the ridge and white - on the rest of the part. The completely white fur color of another variety is the Arctic Marble Frost Fox.

Silver-black fox or silver fox (Silver Fox) has been known for a long time. She has a 3-color pile: gray at the roots, white in the middle and black at the tips. The more white in the color of the silver fox, the more valuable the fur. It differs from all other species and has a very high pile.

The fur of the Canadian (North American) fox is similar to the silver fox, but differs in the absence of a brown tint. In the silver fox, it remains even after dyeing, while the Canadian fox is always silver-black or black-silver.

Having crossed the silver fox and the red fox, they got the "cross" (Gold Cross Fox). The fur is dark red in color with a dark "cross" formed by the region of the ridge and shoulder blades.

These are just the most popular varieties of fox fur. In reality, there are many more.Breeders do not get tired of experimenting in search of new colors, and cunning sellers come up with new intriguing names. So the "crystal fox" fur appeared. There is no such name in the official classification. Most often, under the "crystal fox" hides "arctic marble", a very light "silver fox" or even a discolored raccoon.

Steppe fox or corsac - a subspecies of foxes, lives in natural conditions. It is smaller than a fox, has yellow-gray fur, and is no worse in quality than a fox. Depending on the season and habitat, the yellow tint may be intensified or weakened. There are individuals with a light gray color of the skin, and there are those whose yellow turns into a copper or wine tone.

How to choose

All the methods that are applicable when choosing any type of fur also apply here:

  1. Stroke along and across the villi. They should not fall out, but must quickly return to their place.
  2. Smell your coat. An unpleasant and pungent odor should alert.
  3. Check the mezdra. Good - light gray even in a dyed product, soft, elastic.
  4. Check seams and lining. The fewer seams, the more durable the fur coat. The lining must be of the appropriate fabric.
  5. Carry out a test for color fastness - for dyed fur: run it over it with a wet handkerchief. After that, there should be no traces of paint on the scarf.

What to wear

The ideal shoes for a fox coat of any length are shoes with heels or wedges: elegant fur requires the same shoes. A high heel will protect a long fur coat from pollution. Skinny girls in short fox jackets can afford high flat boots.

Gloves - only made of leather, and to match the boots.

The headdress should be elegant and complement the style of the fur coat. For short fur coats, knitted small hats are ideal. Hats are also suitable for many fox products - felt hats with wide brim. Fur hats to match, reminiscent of a haystack, are also suitable.
