How to Choose the Right Fur Coat

Often people are in a quandry when trying to make choices between mink, chinchilla and fox fur coats. Mink and sable furs are enormously shiny, lightweight and soft. Mink gives out a rich feel, is fluffy, smooth, and goes through deep tinting process. Sable coats are extremely silky. The rareness of the fur makes it very expensive. One beautiful quality of the mink and sable fur coats is that they feel soft even when stroked against the grain.

Coats from raccoon and otter fur are deemed the thickest ones as they have many layers to them. Silver, black, light brown, dark brown, tan and grey are some of colors these furs come in. You can bet on the warmth of these coats in chilling winters.

I have found it helpful to shop online at AspenFashions.com. Aspen Fashions has an enormous selection of all types of fur coats from classic mink coats and mink jackets to luxurious shearling and sheepskin coats and they even have plus size shearling coats.
