Weather is unforeseeable, so you can’t always tell whether it’s going to rain or not. You check the forecast and see there are chances to be a random drizzle but in the end, you confront a downpour just as you are getting out the subway. In this case, what are you going to do? Not wearing fur coats all fall/winter long just because you are afraid they will get wet is not a solution. The best thing for you would be to know how to take care of your fur coats if they get wet. After all, fur coats are made of animal furs, which everybody knows they can handle even the most extreme weather conditions.

Naturally repellent

First of all, you should know that fur coats are naturally repellent of water. Animals’ hair has some natural oils that keep the water away and allow it to stay dry even when it downpours. In other words, average rain and snow storms are not dangerous for your fur coats, so you can be confident wearing them and not being afraid you’ll destroy their original look and properties. As long as it isn’t immersed in the water, no damage will be done.

What do you have to do if your fur coats get wet?

One of the most common mistakes made by the fur coats lovers is to throw their luxury garments in a dryer or to hang them in the sun or near a heat source, as a stove or a fan heater. That’s totally wrong because you can destroy your fur coats and never get them back. If your precious garments get wet, don’t expose them to direct sunlight and keep them away from direct heat sources. All you can do is to hang them up on a padded hanger in a well-ventilated area, where air can flow. In the moment when they are completely dried, you can store them as usual, in a dark closet, that is not over-stuffed and is well ventilated.

What can you do if your fur coats get soaked with water

You can wear your fur coats when it’s raining or snowing, but it’s not really good to allow them to become saturated. In this case, our recommendation is to take them to a specialist because a master in furs will always know how to help you. In case of heavier downfalls, the skin under the fur becomes soaked with water, so it isn’t much you can do on your own. Even if you hung the coat up to dry, it would take too much time to become dry enough for you to wear it again. However, a professional furrier will have the necessary tools to dry the coat thoroughly.

Now that you know what you must do when your fur coats get wet, it’s time to rock this season wearing luxury garments that will always make a difference.
