Pieces of mink coat
A man can confirm his worth with the help of good watches, shoes and a phone, and a woman with a good fur coat and expensive perfume. In the second case, you have to focus solely on taste preferences, but with the choice of a fur coat, not everything is so simple.
Modern manufacturers for tailoring high-quality fur coats use a lot of chic furs, but mink coats are the most preferred. Those who cannot afford this clothing for financial reasons, purchase a fur coat from pieces. What are its distinguishing features?
Features and Benefits
Many people think that the warmest fur coat is the one that is sewn from whole pieces of fur. This is true, but it is impossible to find an animal whose size would make it possible to sew a fur coat without a single seam, and even more so if we are talking about a mink.
What then is the difference between a one-piece fur coat and one that is sewn from pieces? It turns out that in the size of the pieces themselves. One-piece fur coats are created by sewing together pieces of mink fur measuring 15 x 15, and if smaller pieces are used in the production, the fur coat can no longer be called whole.
So, contrary to popular belief, a fur coat made of pieces is as warm as a whole one. The only factor that can affect the thermal properties of a fur coat is the quality of tailoring.If the seams are well processed and do not form gaps, the product will perfectly retain heat even in the most severe frosts. Yes, and the cost of a fur coat made of pieces is much less than a whole one, and this cannot but rejoice.
Regarding the aesthetic qualities, it can be said that a fur coat made of pieces is somewhat different in texture from a solid one.
Fashion trends
Modern manufacturers offer fashionistas two options for fur coats sewn from pieces of mink fur. The first type is created from flaps of different sizes, which are sewn in random order. The seams between the pieces, in this case, become almost invisible, and the texture of the fur coat resembles a fur product that has been combed in different directions.
In the second case, fur coats are created from separately taken even pieces and are distinguished by a quilted texture. Regarding the color features, we can say that it is now customary to paint furs in classic black, as well as beige, brown and white shades.
How to choose
In the process of buying a quality mink coat, experts advise first of all to remain vigilant and not focus solely on the aesthetic qualities of a fur coat. What needs to be remembered?
- The fur should feel soft and smooth to the touch, and also shimmer in the light. Remember that it should hold well on the surface of the fur coat, and not fall out and break at the slightest pressure.
- The seams in the inner part of the product must be even, identical and without protruding threads. Bumps and bumps on the seam are an indicator of a poor-quality product.
- Particular attention should be paid to the lining. It must be durable and well stitched. In the store, you can even slightly pull the seams, if they do not diverge, then you can take a fur coat.
Experts say that in terms of practicality, a fur coat made of short and medium length pieces may be the best option. Models on the floor quickly become unusable, since the hem of the product often has a negative impact during wear.
Interesting models
This season, cropped mink coats with a hood are especially fashionable. True, this is more of a youth option, but such a model looks solid and allows you to confirm the status of the girl and her refined style. Older ladies prefer to choose models of fur coats with a midi length hood. They look more status and make the image elegant.
Interestingly, mink coats are rarely decorated. This is due to the fact that the fur itself looks chic and does not require any additions. But if the decor is still present in the model, then it can be limited to voluminous buttons, belts and shiny brooches.
Designers pay great attention to the length of the sleeves of mink coats. In the classic model of the outfit, it is always elongated, which is explained by practical characteristics. But more youthful models of fur coats can also have a short sleeve - ¾, to the elbow, flared or straight - it all depends on your preferences. But the hallmark of fur coats without a hood is a chic collar. It can be laid on like English, and also encircle the neck, like a collar.
What is the price
It is profitable to buy a mink coat from pieces for those who do not have enough money for a whole coat. If the last version of the outfit costs about 70 - 120 thousand rubles, then you will have to pay much less for a fur coat from pieces - from 24 to 40 thousand rubles. The price may depend on the country - the manufacturer and the model of the product itself.Longer coats are correspondingly more expensive than shorter ones.
Reviews
Judging by consumer reviews, a high-quality mink fur coat really justifies its cost. In the best case, it will faithfully last 5-6 years, and in the worst case, it will begin to spread in 3-4 years. If you want to extend the life of such a fur coat, you should not get carried away driving in transport and wearing it in wet weather, otherwise the fur quickly begins to lose its attractive appearance.
Fashionistas claim that on lighter models of fur coats, the transitions between the pieces are not so noticeable, but they quickly turn yellow from moisture. Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that buying a mink coat from pieces is fully justified if you are not going to wear it all the time, but only in cold weather.
If you still failed to protect the product from moisture, you can’t hang it out to dry on the battery, otherwise the pile will quickly begin to fall out. It is better to leave the product to dry on a hanger at room temperature.
Remember that after drying, the fur coat must be combed with a metal comb, first for and then against the growth of the villi. It is worth considering that fur products do not tolerate direct contact with perfumes and deodorants, as well as direct sunlight. It should also be remembered that if the fur has faded and lost its former softness, it can be given a new life by handing over the product to dry cleaning.
