If your dream has come true, and you go to the fur store for the long-awaited mink coat, then be prepared that the seller may contact you with the question: "Do you need a fur coat for dissolution or with plates?" In order not to get confused in the whole variety of modern fur technologies and adequately answer this question, you need to know certain methods for sewing fur coats, their pros and cons, which will help in choosing a high-quality fur product.
Reviews of mink coats in the dissolution are ambiguous, and a good half of them are just myths. Some girls express complete enthusiasm for fur acquisitions, while others curse the day of buying expensive things, so still it will not hurt to sort out this issue themselves.
Mink coat
We live in a country where winter usually lasts longer than it is allotted for the calendar, and sometimes it is very frosty and severe. Wearing outerwear made of natural animal fur, which protects against cold and frost, has come to us from the depths of centuries. Such products always cost a lot of money, the presence of a fur coat spoke of the status of the owner, his love of luxury. In the 20th century, this wardrobe item was an attribute of wealthy people and the top dreams of the middle class. And at the end of the 20th, a mink coat became very popular and desired, the price of which had no limit and could sometimes reach the price of an apartment.
For many decades now, a mink fur coat continues to be a favorite among other furs and articles made of them. Now, thanks to the growing well-being of the population and meeting the demand for mink products by specialized fur farms and factories, owners of branded mink coats are very common on the streets. There are so many styles and models that women not only have a “status" age, but also young girls can choose the right product. Mink is one of the warmest (after the muton and raccoon) and socks, it is comfortable and cozy, and even forty-degree frosts will not be scary. You do not have to worry that such a fur will once go out of fashion, a mink coat is a recognized classic of beautiful outerwear.
Dissolution technology
As you know, a mink is a furry animal quite small. His skins after dressing are also obtained in different sizes. This complicates the process of cutting a fur product, because often when it is executed along the patterns literally a few centimeters of the skin may be missing. In order not to limit the initial size of the blank, the style of the fur product conceived by the designer was invented, the technology of sewing skins into full or partial dissolution was invented.
When using fur sewing for dissolution, the master first cuts the mink pelts (most often diagonally) into strips of a width from 0.4 centimeters to 3-6 (sometimes up to 10) centimeters in a special way. The cut fur strips are connected by a special seam manually vertically, the strips during stitching are slightly stretched to the desired length. The result is a beautiful, uniform canvas from the outside, and from the inside, the neat seams should resemble a herringbone pattern. A stitched fur fabric will preserve the area, but will become narrower and slightly longer. On the front side of the product in no case should be visible seams, and the color scheme requires uniformity.
With this technology, skins with small defects can be used, existing flaws will simply be cut out and removed from the base. Skins can cut the skin completely (dissolution) or partially (sub-run), not reaching the edges. As a subset, they can basically form the necessary proportions for cutting the product. The technology for sewing fur fabric into dissolution is a rather laborious, time-consuming, complex process. Most often found in manufacturers of Chinese or Greek mink coats.
Mink coat in dissolution. What is it?
When sewing many styles of mink coats, the technology for dissolution is simply necessary. This method expands the design possibilities of modeling, especially in models of mink coats in dissolution, such as a trapezoid, where the expansion begins immediately after the shoulder area. After all, if you sew skins from straight plates, you can get only straight styles of products. Unfortunately, the rule applies here: the fewer the seams, the simpler the fur coat looks.
In a high- quality mink coat, in the dissolution, the external seams are invisible, the canvas is monolithic and light, as if flowing. Many fashion houses noticed specifically about the mink coat to dissolve, that this is a product that most emphasizes the figure and hides its flaws. Such clothes go very nicely due to the many diagonally stitched stripes. Often when describing mink coats for dissolution, they say that they are elegant, flying, giving harmony to the model. Such a fur coat will suit many girls.
But sophisticated technology also implies a higher price for the mink coat to dissolve. With the high-quality performance of such manipulations, which are performed by the master manually, parts of the skin are superimposed on each other during stitching, which leads to a higher consumption of skins, and, accordingly, higher cost of the finished product. But if the manufacturer tried to save money, and the strips are only docked and sewn to cut, then such a fur coat will not retain heat and will not last long. The surest sign of poor-quality butt joints is a very light mink coat. Threads can also be viewed from the front, in the depths of the fur.
Difficult choice
In some reviews, mink coats for dissolution are often compared with products sewn from solid plates. This is another technology for cutting skins. The authors of these numerous reviews mink coats in the dissolution are criticized, and vice versa - they are considered the best. And some were very lucky with the product from solid plates. So who do you believe? Which is better: mink coat in dissolution or solid?
With the technology of tailoring outerwear with whole plates, longitudinal whole skins are chosen. Most often, these are the backs of animals, without legs, tails and other parts. The size of the blanks can be 10 * 50 cm for female mink and 14 * 70 cm for males. Cut plates are not subjected to further processing and stitched into a single large canvas. The finished base looks monolithic and homogeneous, and there are not many seams inside. But the seams at the joints are almost always visible. The essence of the technology is not very complicated, requires less time and labor costs.
Let's say in advance that the authors of reviews of mink coats for dissolution, who prefer them, will be right, however, as are the authors who choose a mink coat from solid plates. If the product is made in good faith, qualitatively, it does not matter what technology was used when sewing. In addition to using different methods of processing skins, the main difference between clothes sewn from solid plates and a mink coat for dissolution is a different design and style. If the technology of dissolution implies ample opportunities for modeling, the possibility of cutting free mink coats, then a mink coat made of solid plates often has a straight silhouette. And the choice depends on individual preferences and is always yours.
Mink coat in dissolution. Advantages and disadvantages
Any technology has pros and cons, often they directly depend on the quality and skill of the manufacturer.
When reviewing fur coats for dissolution, of course, the positive aspects include elegance and beauty of cut, the ability to produce flying, loose styles using this technology. Also pleasing is the smooth color scheme without sharp transitions, the complete absence of visible seams.
Of course, a lot depends on the quality of the purchased mink coat. If the technology was not broken and the skins were moderately stretched when stitched, then the mink coat in dissolution will be quite durable and will be worn for more than one season. If the parts are stretched to the limit, a product made of such a material will be brittle and may even burst. The same can be said about joints. It will be correct to stitch the fur strips as if with an overlap, with a slight overlap. At the same time, the consumption of precious skins increases. Trying to save money, the manufacturer can sew the strips together, but they will adversely affect the quality of the fur product and its wear. On the front side of such a fur coat, over time, the boundaries of the seams can be seen.
The disadvantages of the mink coat in the dissolution include the presence of a large number of seams, but it all depends on their quality. The rise in price of the finished product due to sophisticated technology that requires a lot of time and effort will also be attributed to the minuses of the mink coat in dissolution. Another minor minus is the small likelihood of altering the mink coat to dissolve. It is almost impossible to redraw it or repair it. You can only shorten the sleeves or the total length if desired. For a complete redraw of such a fur coat, few will take up due to the use of the same technology with numerous seams, because of which many holes from the needle are formed in the skin. However, for the most part, the styles of these fur coats are universal and beautiful, and rarely can anyone think about altering a mink coat sewn for dissolution.
Fur Coat Myths
Perhaps, only about such an object as a fur coat, you can hear an incredible amount of various rumors, speculation and myths.
The first and main myth is associated with the quality and wear of a mink coat in dissolution. It is not worth questioning for these parameters the products described in this material. They are made only from high-quality skins that have undergone rigorous testing, like solid plate skins. The main difference and characteristic of mink coats in the dissolution of clothing from solid plates is the use of different technologies required for sewing a particular style.
Myth number two suggests that mink coats for dissolution can be sewn from scraps, residues, or other illiquid material. This is fundamentally wrong. As mentioned above, high-quality material is selected for mink coats for dissolution. This myth may be based on the bitter experience of those who purchased a cheap product from a dubious manufacturer.
Myth number three is the computer assembly of skins for sewing a mink coat into dissolution. Proponents of this assumption argue that the selection of parts by color and quality is performed by the computer. To debunk this myth, you need to know that this process can really be carried out by a smart machine in large factories, where the number of skins amounts to hundreds of thousands. But this selection will be rather rough, since one color has a lot of shades, so the mechanized method is not used for tailoring a particular coat. In small factories, computers that perform this operation do not exist at all. Therefore, to assume that your fur coat is arranged in an automatic way will be wrong. The skins for each mink coat are selected for dissolution by the master manually, such a product is unique in its kind.
How to choose a mink coat to dissolve
Of course, when choosing such an expensive thing like a mink coat, you need to pay attention to many factors. It is easy for an ignorant person to fall for unscrupulous sellers who want to sell stale goods that do not sweep for a couple of seasons. To avoid this, it is necessary to approach the choice of mink coats for dissolution with all responsibility.
To get started, ask for the appropriate certificate, which by law should accompany each item of fur. Also, chipping of fur products has recently been introduced; without this radio marking, you can neither trade them nor purchase them.
A mink coat in a dissolution should not be completely weightless. Too easy a thing can talk about the presence of low-quality butt joints. Another reason for the lightness is too tight skins, which leads to the fragility of the product.
When choosing a mink coat for dissolution, be sure to look under its lining. For modern wardrobe items, the lining is often sewn with a zipper or a special gap is left that does not hide the wrong side. Here, at a glance, you can see the quality of the diagonal seams. By the way, the lining itself should be made of quality material with several branded labels and a tag with information on how to care for this fur product.
It is necessary to check the quality of the fur coat of the fur coat. To do this, it is enough to draw a palm along the pile several times. There should not be any broken hairs, the pile should return to its original position, be resilient and elastic. You can even pull it in several places - it should remain in place. If the mink coat is painted for dissolution, then drawing a fur coat over the pile of this coat with a damp cloth can be used to understand (by the presence of traces left on it) whether the paint has been applied in good quality.
Operation and maintenance
Any thing reflects the care that its owner endowed during operation. The service life of the mink coat during dissolution will be extended, and the appearance will be preserved if it is treated with care and properly taken care of.
If your mink coat fell into the dissolution under the influence of precipitation, it is best not to try to save it with a hairdryer or other equipment, but let it dry in a cool, dry room. In any case, do not straighten dried fur with a comb, it will be enough to shake the product several times.
Try not to carry bags or backpacks on your shoulder. At this point, creases of fur may form over time (even with a high-quality fur coat).
For storage of a mink coat for dissolution during the warm period, in some cities there are special storage-refrigerators where you can hand over a thing for a monthly fee. If in your city there is no such service, then for storage it is best to put a fur coat in a breathing cover of a dark color and put it in the darkest and coolest place in the apartment. Sprinkle with mothballs or an anti-molar drug is not worth it. Put such a drug in your pockets, wrapping it in gauze.
While the winter season has not yet arrived, but the weather is cloudy and humid, it would be nice to hang a fur coat on the balcony so that the skin and fur are saturated with moisture and are more elastic.
A mink coat should not be taken for dry cleaning, but if necessary, dry cleaning should be very delicate.
Styles and models
As mentioned above, sewing a mink coat for dissolution is intended mainly for free, flared models of any length. Thanks to this technology, your figure in such a wardrobe item will become visually more slender, the effect of diagonal stripes will work here. It makes sense to take a closer look at such a fur coat for those who have small figure flaws — a mink coat will conveniently hide them in a dissolution.
Much depends on the color of the fur product. The most common is light brown. Light mink looks very elegant, but may turn yellow over time. The natural black color of a fur coat is quite rare, manufacturers can resort to coloring such products. Here you need to be more attentive, it is worth checking the quality of execution, if you still decide to take a dyed black mink. But the modern fur industry offers other fur coat colors for every taste.
Very loved by the girls who drive cars, short models of mink coats in dissolution. They are called so-called “auto-ice”. The hips line is often slightly hidden in length, it is really convenient to sit behind the wheel in such a fur coat. The style can be trapezoidal or the so-called scatter.
Choose the length of the fur coat in accordance with your budget and preferences. Mink models just below the knee are very popular. This is a classic length at which it will definitely be warm and cozy. The length of the coat "on the floor" is usually preferred by ladies of respectable age and status.
The “year” style is fitted, with a flared hem. Usually a leather belt is attached to such fur coats. This model will look very feminine and accentuate your waist.
The sleeves of all these fur coat styles can be of various lengths, straight or flared, as well as turn-down collars and stands, trimmed with sable and arctic fox, etc.
Summarizing
The mink coat for dissolution is made of durable, high-quality mink skins. The product is no worse in quality, but superior in cost to fur models from solid plates. In addition, not inferior to them in socks.
Remember that cheap cheese is only in a mousetrap. This saying fully reflects the situation in the fur market. A high-quality mink coat is an expensive acquisition. If you want a thing to please its warmth and beauty for many seasons, you will have to pay a tidy sum. Only counterfeit can be purchased cheaply, which will bring neither joy nor warmth to its owner.
If you plan to wear a mink coat in the dissolution of more than one or two seasons, then look at the classic models that will not go out of fashion for a long time.
Rely on your taste and reflection in the mirror, not the words of the seller, do not hesitate to examine the quality of the fur from all sides. Also consider your budget when purchasing. It will not be superfluous to go to several fur boutiques and try on at least 5-6 fur coats to find that one.
