Sheared and unsheared fur
|
|
Answered
by:
Our experts
Q:
Is a sheared fur as warm as an
unsheared fur?
A:
Yes. The warmth of the fur is
determined by the underfur, which
acts as an insulation. Whether
or not the longer guard hairs
are sheared off, the underfur
remains intact and therefore provides
the same warmth. |

Q: How do
I tell quality of a fur?
A:
The quality of a fur is determined
by the quality of the design,
the pelts and the workmanship.
The design must cause a proper
fit and reflect a certain look

be well matched, light weight,
supple and even in sheen. The
workmanship must create even
sewed seams and good matching.
