Men's mink coats

Features and benefits of fur

Fur coats are becoming more and more popular with men, because this piece of outerwear not only warms well in cold weather, but also:

  • confirms the good financial position of its owner,
  • emphasizes its prestige and weight in society,
  • indicates its good taste and adherence to fashion trends,
  • adds to the image of masculinity, nobility, grandeur.

The most popular fur for men's fur coats is mink, because its products are able to cope with all these tasks. Also, the mink is famous for its high wear resistance, is not afraid of moisture and, with simple care, can serve its owner for at least 10 years.

The undoubted advantage is the relatively small weight of mink fur. The skins of this animal are relatively thin and elastic, so that the fur coats from it are very comfortable to wear.

Mink fur offers a wide variety of styles and colors of fur coats. Different types of mink differ in thickness, length and color of the pile. Natural colors are very diverse: from white, silver, platinum shades to blue-black. Also, the mink can be painted and tinted, trimmed and partially plucked, transforming its appearance, creating completely unique models.

How to choose

All this makes the purchase of a mink coat a good investment. But not all manufacturers can offer the same quality product. And the high cost is not always an indicator of excellent fur coats. When buying a mink product, you need to be guided by several criteria:

  • Colour. A good quality mink is beautiful on its own and does not need to be tinted or toned. The color should be even, unless otherwise specified by the model. Usually, before stitching, the skins are carefully checked for consistency in tone. There should be no rust or discoloration on the skins. If the fur coat is made of dyed or tinted fur, it is necessary to conduct a durability test. To do this, it is enough to take a wet white handkerchief in your hand and hold it along the fur - if there are no traces of paint left on the fabric, it means the product is dyed by technology.
  • Pile. It should be shiny, elastic and uniform. When stroking the wool of the mink fur against the wool, they quickly return to their place, which cannot be said of the marmot fur, which often unscrupulous sellers can pass off as mink. With light fur tweaks in the hand should not be villus. If this happens, then the fur is poorly processed and will fade.
  • High-quality dressing mezdra - the back side of the skin. Almost all self-respecting manufacturers do not whip out the bottom edge of the product to the end so that the buyer can verify the quality of the core. It should be soft, elastic, not very thick, without cracks. When pressing, the core should not creak, and when shaking the fur coat, “thunder”.
  • Quality tailoring. The seams should be flat, without sticking threads. The fewer seams on the back of the product, the better. A fur coat should be sewn from solid skins - then it will really be worn for a long time.
  • Price. A good mink coat cannot be very cheap. If, with all the excellent characteristics, the cost of a fur coat is below the market average, then you are being offered not a mink, but a fake from another fur.

Fashion trends

  • Short mink coats and jackets. They are still popular for their practicality and convenience. Such products can be fastened with a zipper or buttons, have a hood or collar, be free cut or with cuffs, supplemented with leather inserts.This model is especially convenient for motorists and young men leading an active lifestyle. A short fur coat with a zipper looks more sporty and democratic, and a button-down model is a well-established classic that perfectly complements a formal suit.
  • Mink coats of medium length. Suitable for almost any style of clothing. Such fur coats have a straight cut, creating a strict silhouette with a maximum length of mid-thigh or slightly lower. Skins for sewing men's fur coats are folded in such a way that the fur fabric does not have a pattern and is as uniform as possible in color. For greater masculinity of the image, the waist line in men's fur coats is not emphasized, therefore, midi length products are traditionally sewn without a belt.
  • Long mink coats. They look really luxurious and often become the subject of choice for men of solid age. When buying a long mink coat, a young man seeks, first of all, to emphasize his high status and wealth, because such a product is usually more expensive than more practical short models.
  • The shape and length of the collar are designed to emphasize the line of the shoulders. Often, the collar is the main decoration of a men's fur coat with a minimum of accessories. There is a tendency to volumetric collars of interesting shape and to collars with lapels, and the stand-up collar is already unpopular.
  • Sheared mink fur coats. They create a particularly elegant silhouette, emphasizing the merits of the male figure. The right length is mid-thigh, or better, shorter. In terms of wear resistance and the ability to keep warm, sheared mink is almost as good as usual.
  • Natural color fur. Men are more conservative, so they often choose fur that is natural in color - black or dark brown. But since last year, designers have focused on light brown and red shades, and this trend continues to gain momentum. Men's fur coats are not decorated with drawings, while maintaining conciseness, the absence of non-functional details.
