The men's chinchilla coat: the flex
Chinchilla is what a man buys when he already owns mink. It has the highest hair density of any land animal — roughly sixty hairs from a single follicle — which is why it feels unlike anything else: impossibly soft, cloud-light, and instantly recognisable to anyone who knows fur. Marc Kaufman Furs has sourced and cut chinchilla in New York City since 1870.
Matched by hand, because it has to be
Chinchilla pelts are small and their shading runs from pale silver to deep slate, so building a men's chinchilla coat means selecting skins side by side until the colour flows unbroken. That painstaking work is what separates a fine chinchilla piece from an ordinary one. We cut it into full-length coats, jackets, bombers and strollers, and use it for collars and cuffs on mink pieces.
Who wears it
Chinchilla has long been the choice of performers and athletes who want the softest, most exclusive fur made — the kind of piece people notice from across a room. Given the rarity of the pelts, most chinchilla is offered on a consultation basis. See the men's fur buying guide for how chinchilla compares to sable and mink.
Bought and cared for by specialists
