Finding the perfect Denver leather jacket style for you
A good fitting Denver leather jacket is only the first step in purchasing a new jacket. There are many different types of leather, and ultimately styles that you can decide upon. It’s important to feel comfortable because when you feel comfortable, you are more confident. Whether you’re looking for something to make you the fashion go-to at your next party, or something casual to wear to the office, use these tips from Jonval leather and fur in Denver to find your perfect jacket.

Classic
Looking for a classic look? Classic looks are best for everyday wear, and even when you are in need to wear them to a business casual or work function. For everyday wear, we recommend investing in a simple black or dark brown leather jacket. You can find them at waist-length or longer.  Avoid buying one that is filled with buttons and zippers to keep clean and simple. This will make it easier to pair with anything, whether you are looking to wear with jeans and a t-shirt, or business casual clothing to work. 

Fun
If you are looking for a more fun look, and a little edgy, leather is the perfect way to achieve that! To start, look at leather moto jackets, or motorcycle jackets. Many moto jackets have numerous zippers and buttons, adding personality to the jacket. Some even have different cuff colors and fur around the color. Moto jackets tend to be waist length, allowing you to show off a great belt. Finish the outfit with a pair of ankle-high leather boots. Bomber jackets are also a great addition to a closet. Some are simple while others have décor and patterns throughout. 

Upscale
There is definitely room for a leather jacket when going upscale. In fact, one of the leading trends in fashion at the moment is adding a leather jacket to a fancy outfit. For women, one of the latest trends is to drape the jacket over the shoulders. Don’t put your arms through the sleeves, just lay it over. Hold a purse or clutch in your hands or with your elbows instead of putting over your shoulder. For men, simple and sleek leather or motorcycle jackets are great with a dark pair of jeans, black pants or even khakis.

Everyday care tips for your Denver fur coat


February 12, 2020

Everyday care tips for your Denver fur coat
Did you get a new Denver fur coat for the holidays? First, congratulations! A Denver fur coat is the perfect addition to any wardrobe. With different colors, styles, and even fur types, a fur coat is truly one of the most versatile things you can own. However, while you are brimming with excitement you could even be a little overwhelmed about how to best take care of you Denver fur coat. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled our three favorite tips!

Storage
When you aren’t wearing your fur coat, it’s important to take proper care of it and that is important when it comes to hanging in your closet. Make sure you purchase a sturdy hanger, one with pads, to help keep the shoulders of your jacket in tip-top shape! Make sure that your fur coat hangs alone. While it doesn’t need it’s own closet, it’s best to keep it from getting stuck in the mass of other clothes you might have in your closet. If you don’t tend to wear your fur coat every day, be sure to keep a cotton bag over your coat. This will keep the dust off and help to keep it cleaner.

Accessories
A common fashion statement is to pin things to fur coats - such as buttons, jewelry, or festive pins that help give you some additional style. While it’s alright to do so, we recommend that you remove the accessories as soon as you are done wearing them for the day. Leaving accessories attached to your jacket can cause matting and ultimately damage your fur coat. 

Moisture
Did you wear your fur coat out in the rain? Or snow? Moisture can cause major damage to your Denver fur coat, but there is no need to fear. When you remove the coat, shake off all the moisture you can, and hang your coat on its normal hanger in a well-ventilated room. It’s important to never use direct heat on your jacket, as it can cause further damage to the fur coat. Never place the fur coat in the dryer, and when it’s completely dry shake it out to help re-fluff your coat. If you have stepped out in your fur coat in the middle of a downpour or blizzard, it’s best to seek a professional’s assistance.

Three common fur myths debunked


February 5, 2020

Three common fur myths debunked
You might be considering purchasing a Denver fur coat, but you have some hesitations. While Denver fur is something that will never go out of style, is comfortable, warm, and ultimately luxurious...there are some common misconceptions about fur that might have you double guessing your decision. Your Denver fur coat specialist is here to help debunk some of these common myths.

Myth 1: Fake furs are just as good as real furs
We can promise you, and we aren’t bias, that fake furs are not just as good as real furs. Quality wise, fake furs are not going to be as soft, resilient, or as warm as real furs. There is also a common misconception that fake furs are better for the environment, but in truth most fake furs are made out of petroleum-based products. Often times these fake-fur producers also cause damage to the environment with other products and don’t recycle. 

Myth 2: The fur trade is unregulated
This is certainly not true. There are national laws, and even state laws that help to monitor the fur trade and ensure not only is it quality, but that it’s safe and isn’t violating any laws - whether that be locally or internationally. These laws don’t only regulate the trade of fur, but also address animal cruelty concerns and makes sure your products are sourced ethically.

Myth 3: Some furs are made from household pets
Fur coats are not made out of household pets such as dogs and cats. The furs you will find come from wild animals such as foxes and mink. While you can purchase Chinchilla fur, this is sourced ethically. 

Myth 4: Endangered animals are hunted to create the fur coats
Nope! Endangered animals are protected by law. Industries cannot hunt or harm endangered species for any reason, let alone for the production of a fur coat.

Myth 5: Animal cruelty is a common practice in the industry
This is once again untrue. Referencing back to myth #2, the fur industry is highly regulated and this applies to animal cruelty laws as well. Furs are sourced from fur farms, but in order to produce high-quality furs a farmer must treat their animals with the highest level of care and respect.

Your Denver fur coat - the most important things you need to know

Your Denver fur coat - the most important things you need to know
We are just over a month into “winter,” and you might already be longing for the warmer weather! No matter how you feel about winter, it’s pretty clear that the colder weather and snow can ruin your possessions. Nothing is more disappointing than having a new Denver fur coat that has been damaged due to weather. If you are needing professional assistance we are here to help. 

The first thing to know is you should never, ever, place your fur coat in the dryer. The heat can cause your fur coat to dry out, and prolonged exposure can even cause it to become brittle and fragile. Not to mention that the heat will cause your fur coat to have a dull and lackluster appearance. 

Just as humidity affects human hair, humidity can affect the fur on your coat as well. Too much moisture in the air, or inversely not enough, can cause the oils in your fur to behave in different ways. While wearing the coat out in public is safe, make sure you are paying attention to where you store your coat. This is where you’ll need to be worried! Always store your coat in a cool place.

Just as humidity can affect your fur coat, so can light. Once again, you are still able to wear to wear your coat outside but you should avoid storing your coat in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight oxidizes with the fur you are wearing and can cause discoloration. Often times the discoloration can turn your coat to unattractive colors and make it almost unwearable. In addition to always storing your coat in a cool place, it should be a dark place as well to avoid this discoloration.

While you store your coat in a cool dark place...bugs tend to live there as well. Bugs love to burrow in the warm, soft fur of your coat and it’s important while storing it in a cool and dark place you should keep a cotton bag over it. This will help protect your coat from the bugs we all dread!
