It is not uncommon to hear about a friend or family member who has been deceived in order to pay top dollars for a less genuine Russian fur coat. Thanks to advances in technology and dye, people began to explore the potential of recreating the appearance of a real sable and made them look like high-value Russian sable coats.
Another reason why people cheat when they buy a sable winter coat is that most of us rarely have the luxury of buying fur coats, and because of lack of experience, we are often not sure what to look for. Not many people are also familiar with such premium coat levels and probably don’t know how to detect them.
When you check a piece of Russian solo fur coat, be sure to pay attention to the bottom layer of fur. Often, fakes have only the top layer replicated to look like sable fur, leaving a tail mark when the bottom layer is checked.
The next thing you want to pay attention to is that the winter coat sheds. A good Russian winter sable coat is expensive, and no designer can do trashy work by putting it together. The coat should not shed the fur when you keep your fingers along it, and it should be soft to the touch. If he is not soft, be careful how he could be made from another animal. You want to avoid buying a winter coat if that is the case.
