Whatever type of fur you choose:

Check to see that the pelts are lustrous, supple and well matched.
Feel the fur carefully. There should be a dense, soft underfur that is evident to the touch, under the glossy guard hair, which should also be soft - never bristly.
Seams should be sewn tightly. Hems should fall straight.
Be sure to try the garment on to see if the weight is comfortable for you. You may be surprised at how lightweight many fur coats actually are.
When you try on a well-made fur, it should be balanced, falling evenly and comfortably from your shoulders.
There should be “give” to the leather side of the fur when horizontal tension is applied.
