The difference between faux fur, and real Denver fur
So you’ve purchased a real fur coat in Denver...now what? Real fur is not only comfortable and warm, but it adds a great look to any closet. However, true fur coats can require some additional daily care, but we have your need to know guide to help guide you through it.

The most important part of maintaining your fur coat is to be careful about how you store your fur coat on a daily basis. Always keep your fur coat on a sturdy hanger, and store in a dust-free place. We recommend your closet, but it’s important to keep your fur coat in a cotton bag if you aren’t wearing it daily. The cotton bag allows your fur coat room to breathe and gives it a true opportunity to stay in tip-top shape.

Pinning broaches or other pins on your fur coat is a common and easy way to accessorize. We fully recommend that you do so, however, it can cause some severe matting on your fur coat if you aren’t careful. Whenever you wear jewelry on your coat, be sure to remove the coat before hanging.

When putting on your coat, it’s important to stay aware of what else you have left in your daily routine. For example, if you still need to put on makeup or hair spray - do not put on your fur coat. Same with perfume. Hair spray, perfume, and other beauty products often contains chemicals that could damage your fur coat. Make sure you put your fur coat on when you are completely done getting ready.

If you are wearing your fur every day, make sure that you remove the coat before sitting down for long periods of time. When you sit down, you are going to crush the fur. While doing so briefly won’t cause any serious harm, prolonged sitting can be dangerous for your jacket. If you are caught in rain or snow, when you get inside be sure to shake off your coat and let your coat hang in a well-ventilated area.

Making purchasing a genuine leather jacket, you’ll get long-lasting wear out of it and ultimately it’ll be a better gift in the long run.

Wearing a Denver fur coat, without looking over the top


October 9, 2019

Wearing a Denver fur coat, without looking over the top
Have you wanted a fur coat? But are worried you won’t be able to wear it without looking over the top? Perhaps you feel uncomfortable wearing it because it’s too fancy for your normal style. Don’t worry - we are here to help you style your fur coat in a way that will not only make you happy, but will have others green with envy this fall and winter. Here are some of our favorite tips, from your Denver fur coat specialists. 

Neutral Colors
Do you own, or are you looking at purchasing a neutral color jacket? Black fur is going to be far less noticeable, and dressing a black fur jacket with all black clothing will create a far less powerful statement. However, it’ll still look chic and will keep you warm and comfortable for the evening. Brown jackets are another great way to make a far less powerful statement, but we recommend avoiding white fur. White stands out naturally, and a white fur jacket will create a very expensive and chic look.

Keep it Basic
Avoid looking over the top by keeping it basic, and simple. What we mean by that is pairing your fur jacket with a pair of skinny jeans and very neutral colored heels, pumps, or wedges. A neutral colored blouse, ro even neutral colored t-shirts, will make the perfect pairing for this fall/winter outfit combination. Too cold for a t-shirt or blouse? Pair your leather jacket with a neutral sweater and you will be feeling comfortable all day long.

Pull it all together
Fur coats can look more expensive, and chic, when you have a lot of bold statement pieces at once. We recommend having one focal piece in your outfit, and ensuring everything else works together to compliment it. It’s also great if you compliment your fur coat based on the “era.” Have a vintage piece? Try pairing it with some lighter jeans and a string of pearls. This combination will create a chic statement without looking over the top.

Don’t get intimidated
Yes, fur coats can be intimidating. But don’t let it get the best of you! Wear your fur coat with confidence, you can and will rock that jacket. Just remember your overall goal - classy, chic, and simple!

Whenever you are ready to add a fur coat to your wardrobe, be sure to reach out. We are here to help. With a wide variety of leather (and fur) jackets at your disposal, we can find, or design, the jacket that’s perfect for you and matches your style.
