pelts |

Answered
by: Our experts
Q: What is the difference between female
and male Fox pelts?
A: Female Fox pelts are generally
smaller and lighter in weight than male Fox pelts. Additionally,
female pelts have a high luster and are very silky and soft
while male Fox pelts are more dense. Each garment, whether
male or female, has to be judged individually to determine its
quality attributes. A female Fox garment is not necessarily
better than a male Fox garment.

Subject: Sheared and unsheared
fur |
|
Answered
by: Our experts
Q: Is a sheared Fox or other fur as warm
as an unsheared one?
A: Yes. The warmth of the fur
is determined by its wool and its 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. |

Answered by:

Q: How do I tell quality of a Fox ?
A: The quality of a Fox is
determined by the quality of the design, the pelts and the
workmanship. The design must allow a proper fit and enhance
your feel and look - reflecting your lifestyle. The pelts
must be well matched, light weight, supple, even in size and
reflect a rich sheen. The workmanship must create even sewn
seams and cuts are to be mostly invisible under normal conditions.
