What is the difference between a male and female mink fur

It is very easy to recognize a mink fur between a female and a male, the female fur is softer and lighter than a male fur. In fact, the skins used for female furs are shinier, silkier and also more suitable for tailoring. If you want to buy a fur, I recommend that you go directly to the desired store with a quality guarantee. As for the price, each fur and each brand are different, obviously the prices change based on these factors: the quality, the type of mink fur, the style and also the craftsmanship, then obviously other factors are the dimensions and lengths provided. If you are wondering if an unshorn fur stays as warm as a shorn one, the answer is yes, this is because the heat present in the fur comes from the undercoat which works as an insulator. Furthermore, rain, as long as it is light, does not cause damage to the fur, in any case it will be necessary to let the fur dry in a fairly ventilated place, and keep it away from the color. If on the contrary the fur is completely wet by the rain, you will have to take it to a professional in the sector who will take care of the appropriate treatment to apply, the craftsman will apply special oils on the leather of the garment so as to keep it soft, otherwise he will replace the silk lining. Finally, if you have a fur inherited from a relative and that is several years old, as long as it has been looked after with care it can be reused or modernized.
