   Fur coats have long been a symbol of luxuriousness and wealth.  Wearing a fur coat on a special occasion or an everyday event can showcase style and fashion sense. Picking out a fur coat that is the right size is essential to being able to look your best when wearing one, so take these factors in mind in order to determine the proper fit for a fur coat.   How to Determine the Proper Fit for a Fur Coat   Take the measurements of an old coat that still fits. Using a coat you already have can be a good guide to the fitting yourself for a fur coat. While placing the closed (completely buttoned or zipped) coat on a flat surface, measure the different inseams on the outside of the coat. Common inseams include the bust (chest), waist, hips, neck, and sleeve of the coat.     Ensure the lining is stress-free. While the lining of your fur coat should actually be attached to the fur itself, making sure that there is some give in the making of the lining is essential to the fit and longevity of your fur coat. The lining should not be tight in places like the shoulder seam, arms or back areas. Since this lining can shrink with time, putting on a fur coat with stressed lining can cause irreparable damage.     Compare these measurements to industry standard sizes. After taking these measurements to use this as a guide on currently offered sizes of the coat you are interested in. Some brand sizes will vary even when they are classified as the same size but this will give you a good starting point for comparison. If the fur coat is being tailor-made, then give these measurements to a furrier in order to give them an idea of what you will need.     Account and measure for body abnormalities. Measure your own body and be aware of abnormalities such as long arms for your height, or a stout neck. This comes into play often when you are purchasing a coat you are unable to try on first. Ordering a fur coat in a larger size to account for the sleeve length in this example may be pertinent to obtaining a good fit. You will also want to report exact measurements of abnormalities to furriers and tailors when a fur coat is specially made for your body.     Trying on a fur coat to determine the fit should be done in every case possible before purchase. Even when you are 100 percent sure of your size in a specific brand, taking the time to try on the fur coat will ensure a sound investment and a fit you are satisfied with. If possible wear any accessories you will be wearing with the coat when you try it on to ensure the coat will not drag on the ground or against your shoes. Tips If you plan to wear your fur coat during the winter time, allow room for heavier clothing inside the coat when you are fitting them. Warning Avoid tampering with measurement results by sucking in your stomach or sticking out your chest as this will not give you an accurate fit for your fur coat. Check the return policies on any fur coat that you want from a store or online before you buy it because many do not allow returns due to fitting issues.       Source : https://oureverydaylife.com/how-to-determine-the-proper-fit-for-a-fur-coat-12172527.html

It might be news to some, but to Russians wearing fur is nothing out of the ordinary. Russians have been wearing fur coats for centuries. But why are these coats still so popular more than in any other country?  If you ask a woman from Moscow, the answer will probably be that she simply cannot do without hers. All Russian women have one. You could say that it is a protection from the cold, but it’s something more than just temperature!

    The majority of polyesters are not biodegradable. That means that the polyester fur you bought last season will not decompose for 500 years at best and 2000 years at worst, depending on conditions. What’s more, polyester is, in part, derived from petroleum and the oil manufacturing industry is the world’s largest pollutant. With every machine wash, says a 2011 paper for the Environmental Science & Technology journal, each garment releases an average of 1,900 tiny particles of plastic, which are then swilled into rivers, lakes, and, eventually, the sea. New studies show that alarming numbers of tiny fibers from synthetic fabrics are making their way from your washing machine into aquatic animals.  In an alarming study released recently, researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara found that, on average, synthetic fleece jackets release 1.7 grams of microfibers each wash. It also found that older jackets shed almost twice as many fibers as new jackets. The study was funded by outdoor clothing manufacturer Patagonia, a certified B Corp that also offers grants for environmental work. In a groundbreaking 2011 paper, Mark Browne, now a senior research associate at the University of New South Wales, Australia, found that microfibers made up 85% of human-made debris on shorelines around the world. source   In another study, of the almost 2,000 aquatic samples researchers have processed. About 90% of the debris was microfibers – both in freshwater and the ocean. Microfibers are also the second most common type of debris in Lake Michigan, according to Sherri Mason’s research. In this study, the scientists found plastic fibers from textiles in fish and bivalves sold for human consumption. The research occurred in California, the researchers bought 64 different fishes to search for microfibers. They found that 25% of the fish had anthropogenic microfibers in their GI tract. This proves that polyester can end in our bodies!    Toxic raincoats The waterproofing of most high-end, rain-proof coats is treated consists of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are persistent and potentially toxic pollutants. Coating textiles and other materials with PFCs makes them resistant to stains, grease, and water.  These molecules sit on top of the (in most cases nylon) outer fabric. It is like a protective layer of chemical barbed wire – the tip of every barb. This pushes away water molecules, which are too large to pass through the spaces in between. Air molecules can pass through freely, resulting in a non-sweaty, breathable, waterproof jacket. But, as Dr. Andrew Sweetman, from the Lancaster Environment Centre, points out, lab and field studies have shown that some PFCs can accumulate in the tissues of fish and other wildlife as they consume contaminated food and water – building up a dose that can become harmful. Essentially, they don’t degrade,” he explains to BBC News. “So if we take samples from waterways, as a result of their widespread use and persistence, we basically find them wherever we look.”   It’s undeniable that fake fur is made from non-renewable petroleum-based products. For instance, nylon, acrylic, and polyester are then treated with heat and chemicals to improve their look and feel. These industrial processes use three times as much non-renewable energy as real fur, according to the International Fur Trade Federation.
