Fox fur can be left in its naturally rich tones, or dyed into deep black, brown or even bright colors like pink and purple. There is a slight difference between female and male pelts, but it is small and for most people, unnoticeable. Female fox fur pelts are smaller and more lightweight than male fox fur. Whereas female pelts have a high luster, with a silky soft texture, male fox fur dense. But each fox fur pelt has its own individual characteristics and is judged accordingly, so neither type of fox fur is considered better or worse.
For high quality and expensive fox fur items, many people choose to add their garment onto their home-owners insurance policy. Check with your insurance agent for details. Generally, you simply need to see a professional furrier for a written appraisal. After having this updated inspection, send the written appraisal to your insurance company. Most policies include fur insurance.
If your fox fur garment is genuine and you want it to last for many years, it would be wise to have it conditioned and cleaned once a year. This will prevent it from drying out as well as removing any smell of moth or cedar balls. While storing your fox fur, make sure not to lean it against anything for long periods of time, as this will crush it. Also, don&'t store it near direct heat or air conditioning.
With the right care, fox fur will wrap you in luxury and cozy warmth for years to come! Soft against any part of your body, fox fur can be fashioned into any type of garment you wish!
