Is faux fur as warm as real fur?

The R-value, how heat retention is measured, of faux fur and animal fur is actually about the same. Individual fibers trap body heat, whether they’re fabric fibers or an animal’s skin. The warmest coat is long for maximum coverage and has dense, long-hair fibers.

How do I care for my FAUX Fur?

It’s easy to care for your faux fur coat. Spot clean with cold water and mild soap. For a thorough cleaning, dry-clean, Pile Method. This means that solvent is used sparingly so fibers remain light and fluffy. Kanecaron, a high-end acrylic fiber, is responsible for the silky touch and high sheen of our fabrics. It’s the lining rather than the faux fur that calls for dry cleaning. Most satin linings require pressing to look well, which is difficult because faux fur cannot be exposed to high heat. Highly durable, Kanecaron is heat sensitive! Avoid heat of any kind: a radiator, a hot clothes dryer or hot water. 

Our throws however, may be machine-washed (delicate cycle) in cold water and line dried.

How do I choose a faux fur?

Flat, short-hair fabrics such as Black Mink and Sable are ideal for petites and larger sizes. The fabric closest to your hair color is usually the most flattering.

The proper coat length is as long as possible, both for warmth and a long visual image. A few inches above the ankle generally looks good without sweeping the steps.

Does faux fur shed?

A little shedding is to be expected with faux fur. Any shedding is likely to be residual and diminishes after a garment is worn a few times. We suggest brushing your faux fur from time to time to keep it looking it’s best and expel excess fibers.

FAUX FUR SIZE CHARTS

Choosing the best faux fur for you...

Color is important. Slip on YOUR color and often it’s abundantly clear in the way your skin and hair light up and harmonize with the fur tones. Contrasts, however, such as White Mink with dark skin or black hair, can be dramatic and stunning.

Besides color, consider pile length and density. Black Mink, with narrow 2” pelts that create a vertical, flattering illusion, is perfect for both petite and full-figured women who prefer minimal bulk. Red Fox, Sable and White Mink are a bit longer but are also flattering, thanks to the vertical pelt lines.

The length question is easy. A coat as long as possible provides warmth AND a long visual image. A coat falling a few inches above the ankle generally looks good without sweeping the steps. In our showroom, shoppers often think of jackets “because I can’t wear a bulky coat.” They’re pleasantly surprised, however, to discover the longer illusion created by a full-length coat is more flattering than a jacket.

Choose what’s best for YOU. Sable works well with dark hair. Conversely, Sable is often perfect for blondes and here’s why. Sable has a lovely sheen that reflects light back to the face, explaining why, regardless of hair color, it’s our most wearable fabric. If you’re concerned with the bulk of a faux fur coat, Black Mink is for you. If black is too harsh for your pale winter complexion, a scarf at the neckline is often a solution.

Need something for your casual lifestyle? Red Fox and Coyote go casual AND dressy. If you’ve fallen in love with White Mink but feel it’s too impractical—reconsider! Makeup, for example, can be washed from a collar at the bathroom sink, using cold water and pump soap. Blot with a towel and allow an hour or two of air drying time.

Finally—what about style? The open neckline of a shawl collar has a lavish, luxurious feel. A standup collar, which can be worn open or closed thanks to boning hidden inside, is a warmer option and offers a longer vertical illusion.
