An Extensive Guide to All Types of Fur Jackets & Coats

Fur jackets and coats are timeless pieces of fashion. In fact, they are one of the oldest forms of clothing and have been worn for about the past 170,000 years. However, in recent years there has been a lot of speculation around whether the use of real fur is ethical, which has been proven wrong. We have already established the fact that real fur is a good investment here. Moreover, it is not only a fashion statement but provides you with the most warmth and comfort during wintertime.

At Marc Kaufman Furs, we have a wide variety of fur coats and jackets for you to look your best in. So to make it easier for you to choose from them, this is a guide to inform you of all the different types of fur jackets and coats.


  • Shearling Jackets & Coats


Shearling fur is the actual skin of a lamb or sheep. It is a luxurious piece of clothing which is extremely warm, light and tactile. Looking into its history, Shearling jackets have been worn by aviation men.

Shearling has become increasingly popular in recent years. For example, in the photo, the man has paired his jacket with sunnies and looks as fashionable as ever. This particular fur is suitable in the summers as well. This is because the insulation consists of extensive air pockets. Hence, it allows body heat to escape during warmer weather.

These coats and jackets can range in price from $500 to $3,500, depending on the fur’s properties.


  • Mink Jackets and Coats


Mink is one of the most sought after furs in the fashion world. It’s soft and lightweight, and the lustrous guard hair makes it appealing to people.

Lastly, it is also extremely durable if taken care of properly.
