Choose a fur coat: what is a mouton

For a long time everybody knows how severe winters are in our country, so fur coats are one of the most actual types of outerwear at this time of year. The material from which they are sewn is fur, artificial or natural. The most universal and practical for our weather is the Mouton. What is this fur and why is it good? Can our women in these coats look elegant and presentable?

Mouton is a French word for sheepskin woven in a special way. And if before sheepskin coats were, although warm, but not particularly beautiful in appearance, today, thanks to a special manufacture, they look no worse than products made from more expensive furs. At the same time, they did not lose their properties at all: mouton fur coats are not afraid of snow and even rain, and also let the air pass, while keeping the heat. In addition, they are sufficiently durable, and with proper care and storage can last about ten seasons.

To obtain a fur mouton, the sheepskin is processed in several stages: first dried, then degreased, and made by laying. Further, after the first warm-up, the skin is dried, kneaded and dried again, then it is scratched, sanded and pounded out. As a result of all these complex manipulations, a very practical and beautiful fur is obtained. And for it to be more moisture resistant, it is processed with formalin, which strengthens every hair. That's what a mouton is. And do not be afraid of the fact that the product is treated with such a chemical. This is done in the very first stages of dressing. After that, fur is repeatedly cleaned, as a result of which all tanning, dyeing and other poisonous substances are completely washed away.

How to determine the quality of a mouton? First, the product from it must be sufficiently plastic and light, and also have a noble luster. But at the same time its heat-saving properties should be high enough. Also it is necessary to pay attention to what quantity of a heater contains a fur coat, since it happens that it is reduced, in order to make the product easier in weight.

Now you know what a Muton is, but do you know how to properly store it? In order for this coat to serve you faithfully for several years, it should be stored in a closet, hanging on wooden hangers, away from sunlight and heat sources. The product should be fully expanded, other things should not in any way crumple or squeeze the fur coat. Before storing it, it must be well dried at room temperature. It's also nice to put anything in the cupboard from moths, because what is a mouton? This is a natural material, and the mole prefers to eat it, not synthetic. If the coat gets dirty, it is best to dry it.

The color range of products from the Mouton is quite diverse, so pick your own shade will not be difficult. If you decide to buy a fur coat, waistcoat, mantle or other thing from this noble sheepskin, we recommend doing it in advance, before the onset of the winter season or at its end. Of course, this is related to the cost. In the summer you can buy a product in two (or even three) times cheaper, because shops specializing in fur things, during this period make huge discounts and arrange sales. And in the winter you simply can not have time to buy exactly what you want, because Muton coats are bought most quickly. After all, what is a mouton? It is beautiful, elegant and very warm material, which costs several times cheaper than other natural fur. In addition, it does not slip, does not shed, and the models of fur coats from it are distinguished by a special chic and nobleness. To give a glamorous look, some models are trimmed, for example, with arctic fox, sable, fox fur and other furs.
