What can be the defects of the fur?

How to distinguish a good mink coat from a bad one? To determine the quality of the mink coat, you must have information about possible defects.

Poor quality fur has the following characteristics:

• Dents and scuffs. Such damage may not necessarily be seen on old fur. Sometimes a new fur has defects that were formed during the animal’s life and, as a rule, cannot be restored.
• Burnt areas of fur and heterogeneous color.Even if the fur coat looks new and shiny, such damage indicates an old fur, while the gloss of the product is given artificially.
• Dry and hard skin. When the skin is bent, a crunch forms; to the touch, such a skin resembles parchment. After some time, such skins break or sprawl.

Important! If the mezra is of high quality, then it should be soft.

• The presence of rusty spots on the villi of the fur. It is impossible to get rid of such a defect. Such spots are formed as a result of imprisonment of animals in metal cages in which they must be kept for a long time.
• Fur hairs come out in bunches. However, they may fall out in certain places, and not on the entire fur surface. With easy pulling, several hairs are allowed to fall out, but this should be a single case and not nearby hairs.

Ways to check the quality of the fur

The condition of the fur determines the quality of the mink coat. Modern technologies allow unscrupulous manufacturers to apply many methods to mask various defects. So, for example, burned-out areas are painted with a special paint, giving the appearance of a natural shade, or the fur is coated with a special composition to create a beautiful shine.

Let us consider in more detail how to distinguish a good mink coat from a bad one:

• If, after you have wrinkled the fur coat, the product quickly straightens and takes its original position, then this indicates high-quality fur.
• Spread the fur and check the color of the mezdra. A red or brown shade indicates the coloring of the fur, the mezra should be light.

Important! A dark skin indicates improper storage conditions of the product. For greater certainty, it is preferable to inspect the underside of the skins.

• The joints of the skins should not be noticeable. In addition, you need to check their strength by gently pulling the skins in different directions. As a rule, the joints of the skins are observed in the area of ​​the collar and shoulders, and durable threads are used for flashing the seams.
• To check the quality of the skins, you can use an ordinary needle, which we stick from the wrong side and pull, while the hole that has arisen should not increase in size.
• The undercoat should have a soft and thick base.
• Some manufacturers tint the fur, which is additional protection, while creating a beautiful shade, but in this case, the coating should have persistent qualities and not leave any residue.
• All upper villi should be the same length. If protruding hairs are observed on the surface of the fur coat, then this situation indicates the procedure for trimming and that initially the fur did not have good quality.
• You need to smell the fur coat. The product must not have the smell of an animal or chemistry. A light scent of a cleaning agent for a good quality fur coat is acceptable.
• Great attention is required to products from white and blue mink. For such things, the important points will be the correct storage conditions and compliance with the required temperature in the warehouse. Otherwise, such a delicate product quickly loses its original color and acquires a yellowish tint.
• If you observe soft, slightly rough mezra, then this indicates the correct processing of the fur. On the underside of the fur, it is imperative to pay attention to the seams, while the line should be laid neatly and almost imperceptibly, maintaining a distance of about five centimeters.

Important! If the fur coat is sewn from pieces of fur, then the ideal option is to use pieces of the same size, except for products sewn from tails or single pieces.

• The best option for a lining for a mink coat is silk fabric.The lining material used must be expensive, without defects, the seams should be even, and the edge should be decorated with a decorative seam.

What about the lining?

What is the best mink in quality? Many consumers, before purchasing a mink coat, look for information on checking the quality of the fur and very few buyers think about the lining material. The appearance of the lining directly signals a fake.

The quality of the mink coat is characterized by lining material. For lining fur coats, choose an expensive fabric that should not be sewn on the bottom of the product. Only in this way can the underside of the fur be considered and a decision can be made about the quality of the processing of the mezra having a light color and the same thickness.

Important! If the fur coat has a tightly sewn lining, then this indicates that the manufacturer for some reason hides the defects of the fur, and you are offered a fake. In this case, do not purchase this product.

Lining of a quality fur coat:

• It very precisely repeats the cut of the product, it does not puff up anywhere and does not constrain any movements.
• The bottom is not sewn to the product and is free. At any time, you can view the underside of the skins.
• Made of high quality and durable material, such as silk on a natural basis.
• All seams are processed and are smooth and durable.
• The edge is trimmed with lace trim.

Important! The presence of a lining made of cheap materials indicates the poor quality of the coat. A manufacturer who cares about his products will never allow himself to save on finishing.

In addition, it is necessary to carefully approach the choice of the product on which the marking of a well-known company stands, since there are unscrupulous manufacturers who are able to take this move.

Important! You cannot buy models from brand companies in small shops or on the natural market.
