About Fur Quality

Understanding Fur Quality: Why Northern, Colder Climates Produce the Best Furs

When purchasing fur, quality, softness, warmth, and durability are directly influenced by the climate in which the animal lives. The colder the environment, the denser and more luxurious the fur. We exclusively source our furs from northern regions like Canada, Alaska, and Scandinavia to ensure you receive the highest-quality, most luxurious fur products available.

How Climate Affects Fur Quality

Animals in cold northern climates must develop thick, dense winter coats for insulation. In contrast, animals from warmer southern regions—such as the southern U.S. (Mississippi, Texas, or Florida)—never experience the extreme cold necessary to grow these plush, insulating coats. This results in:

Thinner fur with less density
Coarser texture that lacks the ultra-soft feel of northern furs
Less warmth and insulation, making them less desirable for blankets, throws, and pillows

By selecting only winter furs from northern regions, we guarantee exceptional softness, plushness, and warmth that simply cannot be matched by southern-sourced pelts.

The Importance of Seasonal Fur Grading

The timing of harvest is just as important as the climate, especially for sheared beaver fur. Even in the coldest northern regions, beaver fur continues developing its thick, dense undercoat until early spring, when the "cushion" needed for superior sheared beaver reaches full maturity. If taken too early or too late—when the annual molting (shedding) process begins—the fur’s density and plushness decline, affecting the overall quality.

This is why the fur industry follows strict grading standards to classify pelts based on region (northern, central, southern) and season (fall, winter, spring). These grading distinctions determine the quality, value, and ultimate use of each pelt, ensuring that only the finest, fully matured winter pelts are used in our products.
