Does anyone know where i can find out what type of fur a coat is made out of?
Any furrier (Fur Coat Sales Store) should be able to assist you…there aren’t many of these left due to the Animal Rights Activists but there should be at least one store in your area somewhere or even on the net that you can provide pics for and they can tell with reasonable certainty what the fur is. You will probably have to supply other details such as the texture (ultra soft, course, wirey) etc., length of fur, color, any noticeable markings etc. if you are going via the net because sometimes pics won’t tell the entire story. If they were handmade, they were likely made from a full coat at one time…if the fur is quite short, brownish (dark or lighter) it’s most likely mink. If it’s longer, soft but not extremely so…it is possibly fox and can be a brownish, greyish or whitish with a blue tinge. Most likely however, it is mink but that’s just a guess as it would be easier to create a stole from mink than from fox.
