Blue fox fur coats are delicate and require special care if you want to keep them in excellent condition for many years. Storage and cleaning of the coat is very important. There are many factors that play a crucial role in keeping a blue fox fur coat wearable and in good shape.
Keep the fur coat on a hanger in a closet that is not exposed to direct sunlight. Humidity in the cabinet should be minimal. The temperature in the cabinet must not fluctuate. During the summer, you may want to consider storing your coat in a professional vault. Never put a fox fur coat in a synthetic or garment bag. Ventilation is important and without it, the hides will dry out.
Spray perfume before putting on the coat. The alcohol in the perfume will dehydrate your garment. Don’t wear shoulder bags because they put pressure on the hair and you will eventually experience bald spots on your coat.
If your coat is exposed to rain or snow, always shake it out. Then let it dry naturally and avoid heat sources. You can use it only after it is completely dry. If it is soaked in water, you should send it directly to a professional furrier. The coating will be removed and the skins will dry naturally. Special oils will then be applied to the skin. If the damage is too great, the furrier will consider removing some skins and replacing them with new ones. This can increase the cost of repair.
Never wear your fox fur coat when traveling by car, plane, or train. This will cause the fur to flatten out. Use alternate ways to keep warm. Make sure your fur is away from the vehicle’s heat source.
Do not put bulky objects in pockets. It is a conspicuous place and undergoes significant stress over time. If the fur wears off in that spot, everyone will be able to see it. Always check hooks and loops for rust and have a seamstress replace them if necessary.
Have your prized garment professionally cleaned once a year. This cleaning must be done by a furrier. During the cleaning process, chemical compounds and irritants that are harmful to the fur will be eliminated. Finally it will be glazed so that its smoothness is restored.
Have your coat evaluated by a professional furrier. Be sure to get this evaluation in writing. Then insure your coat against damage and theft.
