Yes! Many current styles are much lighter in weight than the heavier designs of the past. This makes them much more comfortable in warmer climates or for early Fall and late Spring wear in colder regions.

We carry many new styles of light weight garments and accessories. Including not only the sheared furs but the more recent innovation of “knitted” or “woven” furs( like the one pictured here). These techniques create an extremely lightweight, supple, textile that rivals the most luxurious wools and blends.

Please browse our inventory and check back often for the latest in these designs.

Burgundy Sheared Mink  with Chinchilla

• The pelt should be lustrous, supple and well-matched.

 

• Feel the fur for a dense, soft underfur evident to the touch under the glossy guard hairs which should be soft, never bristly.

 

• Seams should be sewn tightly.

 

• Hems should fall straight.

 

• Be sure to try on the garment to see if the weight is comfortable for you. You may be surprised at how lightweight many fur coats actually are.

 

• A well-made fur will be well-balanced and will fall evenly and comfortably from your shoulders.

 

• There should be a give to the leather side of the fur when horizontal tension is applied.
