Our Quality Promise

The Source and Quality of Our Fur

At True North Furs, we take great pride in offering only the finest fur products, and the secret to our unparalleled quality lies in the origin of our materials. All of our fur is sourced from regions in the far north, including Alaska, Northern Canada, and far Scandinavia, near or even above the Arctic Circle. These extreme environments produce fur that is truly exceptional in its thickness, plushness, and softness.

The further north you go, the more remarkable the fur becomes. In these frigid climates, animals naturally develop thicker and denser fur to survive the harsh conditions. This results in fur that is not only luxuriously soft to the touch but also incredibly warm and durable. It is this unique combination of attributes that makes our fur products stand out in terms of quality and comfort.

How to Choose Quality Real Authentic Fur

At True North Furs, we take pride in the hand selection of pelts directly from hunters and trappers in Alaska and Canada. There are no middlemen involved in our pelt selection process. Many furriers rely on middlemen to purchase the pelts used in their products, but these pelts often do not meet the top-quality standards we maintain. By sourcing our pelts directly, we ensure that only the highest quality materials are used in our products.

Unlike many other products on the market, True North Furs blankets and pillows are not made from pieces of pelts sewn together. We use only the finest, hand-selected mid-winter whole pelts, which are the top grade based on durability, clarity, density, softness, and overall quality. This is our pledge to our customers.

When selecting authentic fur, there are several important factors to consider:

Fur Durability

Durability is crucial when choosing fur, as it determines how well the fur will withstand wear over time. The most durable furs include beaver, otter, raccoon, and coyote, with sable and fox following closely behind. These furs typically have strong guard hairs and do not shed, allowing them to retain their natural beauty for many years.

Fur Softness

Softness is a key consideration when selecting fur. The softer the fur, the more flowy and silkier it will feel. Coarse fur can be rough and less desirable. While guard hairs may be coarser than the underfur, they can still contribute to the overall softness and durability of the fur.

Fur Density

Density refers to the concentration of underfur per square inch. Furs with higher density are typically warmer and provide a more luxurious feel. The density of the fur is important to consider based on personal preference and the intended use of the product.

Fur Clarity

Clarity is the purity and richness of the fur's color. Some furs may have less dominant coloring, which can yellow or develop an undesirable tint over time. Furs with high clarity offer a more vibrant and luxurious appearance.

Weight

The weight of a fur blanket or pillow is influenced by the density of the fur, the thickness of the pelt's skin, and the concentration of underfur. Some people prefer lighter, more airy furs, while others appreciate the heft and warmth of a denser, heavier fur. The choice of weight is a matter of personal preference and how you intend to use the product.
