Sizes of mink coats: what are the large sizes of mink?

When making a purchase, you need to know exactly the size of the mink coat you need. A thing that is too loose will look ridiculous. If you choose size 42, thinking that over time you will be able to lose weight, then there is a high probability that you will never be able to wear a new thing.

Choosing a fur coat

To choose the right fur coat, you need to measure your height, hips and chest. In a regular retail outlet you can try on the model you like, but in an online store the only guide is a photo and a brief description.

Ideal model

Each representative of the fair sex knows her strengths and weaknesses. It is very important to learn to hide your own flaws. How to choose a mink coat style to present yourself in the most favorable light? First of all, you need to adequately assess your own physical parameters. Are you tall? Or maybe, on the contrary, you are a fragile and petite woman? Pay attention to the width of your shoulders and the length of your legs. “Inch-inch” girls are not recommended to choose elongated or too curvy models. An impressive collar and a hood with fur trim will not decorate you either. A fur coat should complement you and warm you, not overshadow you. Do not choose models that are too small, because such a piece of clothing should not be tight on you.

The eternal trend is trapezoidal models, which are sewn from diagonal pieces of fur. This manufacturing method initially implies more careful wearing and careful cleaning. By the way, you won’t be hot in such clothes, and they fully fulfill their decorative function.

Which mink coat to choose in a country with a harsh climate? If in winter you do without your own transport and use public transport, then it is irrational to choose a long fur coat, as it will quickly wear out and become unpresentable. In such conditions, it is better to prefer a short mink coat with a hood and a warm lining. This piece of clothing, by the way, does not always need a belt, but it is characterized by universal mobility, that is, it is suitable for any style and image. With a classic bag and high-heeled boots, a short sheepskin coat will be feminine, and with skinny jeans, a backpack and ugg boots, you can create a dynamic youth ensemble.

Business representatives of the fair sex, who have the opportunity to maintain a car and go out in the evening, may prefer elongated fur coats with a belt, hood and tapered sleeves. These models provide excellent warmth, elongate the silhouette and make the figure feminine.

What standards are there?

The sizes of mink coats in Russian stores are usually indicated in accordance with two standards - domestic and Western. It is important to understand which meaning corresponds to which. So:

XS – 40: suitable for women with chest volume 60-65, hips – 84-90 centimeters;
size 42 – XS: 66-69 and 92-95;
S – 44: 86-89 and 96-98;
46 – M: chest –90-93, hips – 99-101;

Short fur coat

48 –M: 94-97 and 102-104;
size 50 – XL – 98-102 and 105-108;
size 52 – XL – 103-107 and 109-112;
size 54 – XL – 108-113 and 113-116;
size 56 – XXL – 111-119 and 117-121;
size 58 – 3XL – 120-125 and 122-126;
60 size – 126-131 and 127-132.

Fur coat in your closet

It has long been the custom that a fur coat in the wardrobe is a symbol of prosperity in the house. Not a sheepskin coat, not a short down jacket or a puffy jacket, but a luxurious heavy fur coat. It never goes out of fashion, and if you don’t spare money on quality, you can be sure that the product will not be afraid of rain. And, of course, a fur coat obliges you to look the part.

Here you can’t get away with a tracksuit from the market, and winter sneakers with such a thing look ridiculous. With the right approach to shaping your wardrobe, a fur coat will become a unique touch to the overall style, that same notorious diamond cut that creates a mood and makes an impression.

Animal rights activists have been vocal against the fur coat industry, and it's worth noting that their words affect many of us. But does the industry suffer from this? Let's remember the famous model Naomi Campbell, who joined PETA and posed nude for their advertising, but a few months later she could not deny herself the pleasure of trying on chinchilla fur at the Fendi show. Of course, the scandal hit the reputation of the top model, but the fact remains that women love fur, and there is no lady in the world who would refuse such a gift. Moreover, buying one fur coat does not quell the desire to buy another one. Among the abundance of furs, the mink confidently holds the place of leader.

We take measurements

It is important to take measurements correctly. Remember:

chest volume is measured as you exhale; the centimeter should go along the most prominent points;
hip volume - the distance determined by the most convex points of the buttocks.

The measuring tape should fit snugly to the body and be parallel to the floor. If the volume of your stomach is larger than your hips, then you need to take it into account. It is better to have an assistant take the measurements: it is difficult to do this on your own.

Traditionally, things marked “S” or “XS” are considered small. They are suitable for petite women and girls.

Fur coats of sizes 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 can be called large. These are things for overweight women, with a wide chest and voluminous hips.

Taking measurements correctly

To minimize the risk of error, it is still recommended to take measurements. The main thing is to do it right. You will need a measuring tape, which can be purchased at any sewing store. In the most extreme case, you can use an ordinary thread, only the error in this case will be greater.

The size of a mink or any other coat is determined by three main parameters - chest circumference, waist circumference and hip circumference.

The chest circumference is measured at the most protruding points, with the measuring tape parallel to the floor.
The waist is the narrowest part of the body between the navel and ribs. Two fingers should fit comfortably between the tape and the body.
The hip circumference is measured at the widest part of the buttocks, with the feet standing next to each other.

What is also important is to take into account your height. The standard for women is 165-175 centimeters. Ladies whose height does not fit into these limits should be especially careful when choosing a fur coat. The item may fit perfectly, but treacherously short or long sleeves will ruin the whole look.

How to visually assess whether a fur coat is suitable?

Do you like a mink coat, size 54 seems to be yours, but you are not sure that the item will fit perfectly? Try it on. Note:

how do you feel: a mink coat should not hinder movement;
Is the sleeve long enough: ideally it should reach the middle of the wrist;
are there any folds?
Is it fastened freely?
whether the pockets are puffy: this is possible if a person’s fur coat is too small.

It is advisable that someone else be with you when purchasing a mink coat: a relative, an acquaintance, a colleague. From the outside you can see whether the thing fits well. Nuances are noticeable that may not be visible when looking in the mirror. No one to ask for help? Contact a store consultant. If you are trying on several models, you don’t have to worry that he will lie in an effort to sell the product.

Don't trust the seller? Ask him to take a photo: by looking at the photo, you can evaluate how a mink coat looks on you. But keep in mind: the camera makes you fat. If something seems too bulky, this does not mean that it is really too big for you.

Do you think that only a size 56 mink coat will suit you, discarding all other options? In vain. Items from different manufacturers may vary, so don't hesitate to try them on. Online stores often provide customers with the opportunity to pay for an item only if it is suitable. The courier will pick up the parcel.

Differences between coats made from mink, mouton, arctic fox and other furs

Mink products are very beautiful, elegant, and modern. These animals are short-haired, coats made from their fur do not add any additional volume or extra pounds. Medium-pile mouton or astrakhan fur coats look more voluminous than mink, but with the right choice of style they will adorn their owner for many years.

A completely different matter is the fur of a muton, an arctic fox, or a fox. Products made from them are long-pile, adding kilograms and volume and taking away several centimeters of growth. You should choose short, non-bulky styles, perhaps made from the sheared fur of these animals.

The sizes for any fur coat are standard, unless deviations from the norm are discussed separately in each specific company.

Should you be afraid to buy large fur coats?

Some women strive to buy the smallest thing possible, ignoring the features of their figure. And it’s completely in vain, because a properly selected large mink coat looks elegant. Successful styles are “Classic” and “Bat”. Short mink jackets look good on plump ladies - this can be seen even in the photo. Pay attention to the “cross” model: it is easy to recognize by the horizontal arrangement of the skins.

Thin ladies sometimes buy large mink coats. Body-hugging clothes are not in fashion. Designers prefer loose-fitting models with voluminous sleeves and hoods. A great option is a wrap coat.

Purpose of purchase

First of all, when choosing a fur coat for yourself, you need to honestly answer the question of what goals this purchase serves.

Are you going to buy something to keep you warm in the frosty winter? If yes, then the choice is somewhat erroneous. A mink coat is much thinner and cooler than a fox or sable coat. Despite this, when there is little frost outside, you can warm up in it;
Want to buy to demonstrate your status? It's certainly a worthwhile option. An expensive fur product is very suitable for attending a variety of social events;
Are you choosing mink for long-term wear? And you're doing it right! Mink fur does not shed or deteriorate for many years, which allows us to call the product reliable and durable.

What are the consequences of making the wrong choice?

Are you still intimidated by the large size of mink coats? Please note that an incorrectly selected item not only fits poorly, but also wears out quickly. If your mink coat is too tight, you will freeze in cold weather. Contact with the lining will cause your body to sweat, and wet clothing will easily freeze. Large coats retain heat better.

Sweat is also dangerous because the wet skin of the skin, when dried, hardens and can tear due to insufficient elasticity.

Being under constant tension, the fur wears out quickly. Large mink coats are more durable than small ones.

Be sure to pay attention to what height the coat is designed for. Even if the item fits perfectly with your body type and bust and hip volume, if it is too long, large folds will form at the waist.

What to do if the fur coat doesn't fit?

Sometimes people, when purchasing large or small coats that do not fit, worry that they have wasted their money. Their fears are unjustified. Firstly, the item can be legally replaced within two weeks. It is necessary to fill out an application and provide it to the seller along with the sales receipt. If you bought a product in an online store, contact the manager to find out how you can return it. You can send a parcel with documents without doing this, but then there is a risk that the return process will take longer than you would like.

When buying outerwear, especially fur items, keep in mind that you will wear them not only over thin evening dresses, but also over bulky items. When in doubt between two coats, choose the one that is less fitted. Please note that you may get better.

Always try on an item before buying, compare different models. Pay attention to the recommendations of consultants: from the outside it is easier to see whether a mink coat looks good.

Why is it important to choose the right size?

The expression “you meet someone by their clothes” is familiar to every schoolchild. The attitude of others depends on a person’s appearance. Untidy, ill-fitting clothes instantly reveal a disorganized person whom you don’t want to trust at all. Especially when it comes to such an expensive wardrobe item as a fur coat.

But more importantly, a thing that is too big or too small will simply be uncomfortable for its owner. Stiff hand movements, bare hands, threads of buttons breaking from tension - all this can really ruin your mood. By putting on a huge fur coat, there is a risk of turning into a primary school student whose mother bought clothes “for growing up.” In any case, a thing chosen incorrectly will look so-so.

In contrast to this disgrace, we can cite the example of a woman who knows how to choose a fur coat according to size. She gives the impression of a “dear” lady who came down from the screen of films about a beautiful life. Even the most budget item, chosen wisely, will turn the owner into a queen, highlight her dignity and add charm.

Mech rating

How to choose a good mink coat? And why is mink considered the most optimal option in this regard? It must be said that in a kind of leaderboard, the mink takes only fourth place, leaving the otter, beaver and sable ahead. This is explained by the relatively low wearability of fur. Sporting a mink coat every day would be wasteful. If you regularly drive a car, then it is better to avoid long products. This is both inconvenient and unreasonable; after all, the mink wrinkles very quickly. But short models are an ideal option for a born motorist.

How to choose a fur coat by size: a few more practical tips

Never buy a fur coat that is too tight. Firstly, it will not look very nice, and secondly, you can shorten the life of the product if it is too tight. Don't believe me? And in vain, because if it fits tightly to the body, the leather fabric can get wet from sweat. As it dries, it often loses its elasticity and then breaks completely. Therefore, when choosing between two suitable sizes, it is worth choosing the larger one.
Did you see horizontal folds on the back, bulging pockets? Choose a larger fur coat.
Vertical waves and longitudinal folds will indicate that the fur coat is too large.
If none of the sizes of the selected model fits (for example, with a larger size, longitudinal folds appear, and with a smaller one, transverse folds appear in the same place), then it is designed for a different body type, and you should look for something else.

About styles

All markers are different in taste and color... but depending on the type of figure, some models of mink coats suit us more, others less. To be absolutely irresistible and put everyone in stacks, before buying a fur coat, think carefully about which style to focus on.

These options will kill all the envious people faster and more accurately:

If you are tall and thin: lucky... almost everything goes, even with a floor-length sable hood, even a shortened model. Choose what you like. Also, tall and slender women look great in cross-cut mink coats, which are absolutely contraindicated for overweight women.
Miniature thin: your option: fitted, not lower than mid-thigh.
With full hips: A-line fur coats to mid-thigh or knee length.
Narrow hips and large breasts: straight or fitted coat with a belt.
For plus size girls: straight silhouette, cropped mink.

Mink Paradise

Who would have thought that such a small animal could become the object of desire for many millions of ladies! Over time, craftsmen learned to recognize animal furs and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Detailed tips on how to choose a mink coat will help even an amateur make up his mind in the world of mink diversity. It is worth noting that in many countries around the world they breed and sell minks.

The names of the mink are indicated on the labels. The Russian mink, which has a high spine and underfur, is rightfully considered the warmest, which explains its somewhat increased shaggyness. By the way, such fur is quite affordable and, in comparison with its “relatives,” has an affordable price. A tastefully made, high-quality Russian mink fur coat is not inferior to foreign models, but often on the streets there are large ladies who are full of fluffy fur.

How to choose a mink coat among overseas options? Pay attention to Scandinavian fur, which currently occupies a leading position. The thick underfur and medium awn, coupled with a luxurious shine, won the popular title of black diamond and a leader’s place at the Finnish auction.

For the European climate, North American mink is suitable, which is strikingly different from others due to its low pile and lack of characteristic shine. Sometimes it is called velvet. Enterprising Italians could not miss such a source of income as the sale of fur coats, even though they do not raise mink themselves. Their difference is in creating great design. At fur factories here you can buy a fur coat at a huge discount, which attracts fashionistas from all over the world to Italy.

Word of mouth

Agree, it’s nice to leave the house in a luxurious fur coat on a frosty day, catch the envious admiring glances of others, and feel like a real woman who deserves gifts and compliments! A long-awaited purchase will bring more joy if it collects the required number of reviews from your friends and acquaintances. After all, public opinion is an incredibly powerful engine of trade. Last but not least, thanks to him, the mink coat became a symbol of success.

How to choose the right mink coat? Reviews from experienced buyers can only confuse, because it doesn’t happen all the time. At one point of sale, someone came across a fur coat with some fur coming out, and someone else couldn’t get enough of their fluffy jacket for more than one season. Therefore, reviews from amateurs should be taken into account only at the final stage of selection in order to decide between controversial options.

There will be more sales points in large cities. At your request, the store must present a certificate for sale and tell you what furs are used in production. It is best to visit a retail outlet with an expert who can tell you whether the sellers are telling the truth and how to choose the right mink coat without fear.

It should be noted that there are no absolute advantages to any shade of fur coat. You must decide this yourself, based on which item suits you most.

Professionals recommend storing light-colored items in a case. In general, mink should be protected from direct sunlight and worn carefully, because it is not a jacket that can be sewn up and dry cleaned without fear. A mink coat after repair may look impeccable, but an unpleasant aftertaste will significantly spoil your pleasure from wearing it. If you can afford such luxury, then take care of purchasing and installing a fur refrigerator. Then the product will not turn yellow for a very long time. If this is too costly for you, then it doesn’t matter - in large cities such a service is provided for a fee.
