FAQ'S - FUR
Q. How do I care for my fur?
|
A. Store your fur with Arrow in the spring of each year. Have us condition, clean and glaze it while it is in storage. Under no circumstance should a fur be kept in a cedar chest or closet: such conditions will dry out the pelts and severely reduce the luster of the fur.
|
Q. How often should my fur be conditioned?
|
A.Your fur needs to be cleaned and glazed at least once a year to prevent it from drying out. Professional fur cleaning removes dirt, keeps leather soft, and brings back the fur’s luster, thus prolonging the life of your fur.
|
Q. Can I store my fur at home in the closet since I have air conditioning?
|
A. No. Closets are generally 10 degrees warmer than your home.
|
Q. What is shearling?
|
A. A shearling is a natural lamb pelt with the leather side often sueded and worn on the outside. Color variation and skin blemishes are common. Shearlings often fit well with today’s casual lifestyle. |
