The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Real Fur Coat Online

Buying a Real Fur Coat Online: What You Need to Know

Purchasing a real fur coat online is a significant decision—and one that deserves careful consideration. The good news is that with the right knowledge, buying luxury fur online can be a seamless, rewarding experience. This guide walks you through everything you need to know before you buy.

Step 1: Know Your Fur Types

Not all fur is created equal. The most popular types for luxury coats include fox fur, mink fur, raccoon fur, and chinchilla fur. Each has distinct characteristics in terms of texture, weight, warmth, and visual impact.

Fox fur is prized for its long, fluffy guard hairs and dramatic silhouette. Mink is denser and more compact, with a sleek, refined finish. Raccoon fur offers a bold, textured look. Chinchilla is the rarest and most delicate of all.

Step 2: Understand Sizing

Fur coats are typically sized by chest measurement. We recommend choosing a size 4–8 cm larger than your actual chest measurement for a comfortable, relaxed fit. If you fall between sizes or have specific measurements, our custom sizing service ensures a perfect result.

Step 3: Check the Construction Quality

A high-quality real fur coat will have consistent pelt color and texture across the entire garment, clean and even seams, a well-structured lining (we use acrylic lining as standard, with custom lining available upon request), and no shedding or bald patches.

Step 4: Verify Authenticity

When buying a real fur coat online, always purchase from a reputable source. At FOXFUR JACKETS, every coat is made in our own factory with full transparency on materials and construction. We are happy to answer any questions about our sourcing and production process.

Step 5: Consider Custom Options

One of the greatest advantages of buying directly from a fur manufacturer is the ability to customize. Choose your fur type, color, silhouette, lining, and size. Our bespoke service ensures your coat is made precisely to your specifications. Learn more about our custom fur coat service.

Step 6: Plan for Care & Storage

Real fur requires professional care. Avoid storing fur in plastic—it needs to breathe. In summer, professional cold storage is recommended. With proper care, your coat will last 20–30 years.
