Furs - Frequently Asked Questions
Answered
by: Our experts

Insure My Fur?

company so that the fur can be listed on a
separate rider of your home owners insurance
policy. Ask your insurance agent for advice

Q: Can I Store
My Fur at Home Since I Have Air Conditioning?
A: No. Homes
can not duplicate the carefully regulated
air exchange & temperatures kept below 50
degrees. A constant humidity level of 50%
is optimal to help keep your garment soft
& supple & prolong its wear ability. Homes
with air conditioning generally have too much
humidity which can dry out the pelts.

Sheared and Unsheared Fur |
|
Answered
by: Our experts
Q: Is a Sheared
Fur as Warm as an Unsheared Fur?
A: Yes. The warmth
of the fur is determined by the underfur,
which acts as an insulation. Whether or not
the longer guard hairs are sheared off, the
underfur remains intact and therefore provides
the same warmth. |

by: Our
experts
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.
