Quality of a fur |

Answered

Q: Is a sheared fur as warm as an unsheared fur?
A: Yes.
The warmth of the fur is determined by the under fur,
which acts as an insulator. Whether or not the longer
guard hairs are sheared off, the under fur remains
intact and therefore provides the same warmth. |

Q: How do I tell quality of a fur?
A: The
quality of a fur is determined by the quality of the
design, the pelts and the workmanship. The design must
cause a proper fit and reflect a certain look or
lifestyle. The pelts must be well matched, light weight,
supple and even in sheen. The workmanship must create
even sewed seams and good matching |
