After reading the above list, you may have come to the conclusion that a high quality shearling jacket may not be worth the trouble of owning. Truth is, a high quality jacket is very, very easy to take care of. And is incredibly versatile - functioning as a gorgeous day-use jacket, backwoods jacket and just about everything in between.
It just needs to be remembered that shearling is a different type of insulation than other fabrics - and thus requires its own unique brand of care.

The more time a fur coat spends in cold storage, the better. Please note the word “COLD”. Storing a fur at room temperature negates the most important benefit of fur storage. If a storage facility is kept at room temperature or warmer, then you should consider looking for another facility that meets the temperature and humidity standards.
This is why… as temperature decreases (gets colder) molecules slow down. In biological materials, the less molecular activity, the slower the biodegradation process. One may ask “Why not just freeze it?” You may think that would suspend your fur in time, and this is true. But, if we think back to 5th Grade science class, we remember that when water freezes, it expands. When freezing and thawing is repeated season after season the expansion and contraction stresses, stretches and tears the material on a molecular level and actually speeds up deterioration. The same concept is demonstrated on city streets every spring thaw when pot holes appear. Also, frozen materials become brittle, risking cracking and breakage
This same principle applies to the natural oils in fur and leather materials that keep them soft and pliable. Colder temperatures slow down the evaporation of these necessary oils in your fur garments. Once the oils are depleted from fur or leather it can tear as easily as tissue paper.
With the understanding that colder temperatures protect fur and leather materials against deterioration and drying (as long as there is no risk of freezing), the experts advise that any temperature under 55°F is worthwhile and temperatures of less than 45°F are considered especially valuable to the preservation of fur and leather materials, with effectiveness increasing as temperatures decrease.
Note: It is always a good idea to ask your furrier to see their storage vaults, assuming they are on-site (see below “About Storage Facility Locations). Remember, you are the customer giving them your hard-earned money, you have every right to ask and they should be pleased to oblige you.
Humidity level is important when a fur will be hanging in one place for a significant amount of time. If the humidity is too low (dry air) the natural oils in the pelts will evaporate more rapidly causing the garment to become dry and deteriorate. If the humidity is too high (damp air) they pelts can rot at a fast rate.

Women dressed in heels and fine fur coats started lining up in the cold outside Zion Baptist Church shortly after sunrise Sunday in hopes of worshiping with President Obama and his family. It is a scene that has been repeated each year on the eve of the federal holiday celebrating the life of Martin Luther King Jr. since the Obamas moved into the White House. The Rev. Keith W. Byrd Sr. greeted nearly 700 people at his Northwest church, which sees fewer than half that number on a typical Sunday. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) - President Barack Obama and the first family attend church services at Zion Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. “They are coming to worship. Let the church say ‘Amen!’ ” Byrd told the congregation moments before the Obamas arrived. “How many people believe that the first family deserves the right to worship? . . . Let the church say ‘Amen!’ ” Although many just wanted to spend a morning with the first family, others had hopes the Obamas would choose their church exclusively. The Obamas have not joined a Washington congregation. Since becoming president, Obama has made one-time visits to Nineteenth Street Baptist, Vermont Avenue Baptist, Allen African Methodist Episcopa, Metropolitan AME and Shiloh Baptist. He has attended St. John’s Episcopal Church several times — most recently in December — but the Obamas have been only occasional churchgoers. Each time the president has stepped into an African American church in the District since his inauguration — six times, to be exact — his visit has been preceded by stern warnings from pastors to their flocks to be courteous and respectful in the hopes of wooing the first family. But pastors and members of the churches he has attended have resigned themselves to the fact that Obama might visit but most likely won’t join. Last year, the Rev. Marie Braxton, wife of the Rev. Ronald Braxton, made a friendly appeal from the pulpit to Michelle Obama to join Metropolitan AME. Marie Braxton even led the church in singing “Happy Birthday” to her and gave her a gift. In the end, the first family worshipped quietly and headed back to the White House a few blocks away. “When Jimmy Carter was president, it is my understanding that he taught Sunday school at First Baptist Church of Washington, D.C., but times have so drastically changed,” Ronald Braxton said. “Security, especially for this president, has to be so tight. It takes a lot of planning and preparation. “I believe that he is a man of great faith. He has taken the opportunity over the last four years to visit various churches and denominations,” Braxton said. “I firmly believe that he has been able to survive what he has been through because of his faith.” Four years ago, speculation abounded in pulpits across the city as to which church the Obamas would attend. Several pastors sent formal invitations, and White House officials fielded calls from people who hoped the president would join their church. The Rev. Derrick Harkins, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church and director of faith outreach for the Democratic National Committee, said Obama is a strong man of faith. “The president has spoken and acted on his personal faith in a profound way many times,” Harkins said. “He has talked profoundly about being a committed Christian many times over. He is a man of prayer. He has spoken a lot about his faith, more than many of his predecessors.” Marc Kaufman Furs NYC 208 West 29th st NYC NY 10001 212 563 3877Obama worships in D.C. before MLK Day, but first family has never chosen one church

So, I ran into ex-Real Housewife of New York, completely bare spa owner Cindy Barshop in the elevator yesterday, NBD or anything. We’ve actually been sharing the same office building since November – who knew? Well, as fate would have it, Cindy, the mastermind behind Vajeweling (Vajazzling) and Vatooing, told me about her new product that literally just launched and got picked up in TMZ and Gawker yesterday. Wait for it… wait for it… The Foxy Bikini.
It’s winter and your mons pubis is surely getting chilly, why not treat it like a real person and wrap it in a warm, pretty fox fur… pubic wig? As Cindy says, beauty follows fashion and fox is all over the runway for pre-fall, from Missoni’s sleeveless vest with beaver and fox chevroned fur trim (below, left) to Marc Jacob’s mock-croc bomber jacket with fox fur trim (below, right). Once again, Cindy is ahead of the curve and has created the newest merkin craze.
At the top, in pink, is the Foxy Bikini – made from real fox fur, only $225. It comes in a variety of colors, lasts about 3-5 days, even through showers, working out and working out (wink, wink). And the show-stopper? The multi-colored lady parts decoration below is the Carnivale Bikini, $195, to decorate your hoo-ha just in time for Mardi Gras with bright feathers in your choice of colors.
Stay tuned for more on the most glamorous merkins on earth – we are sooo not done here! (Hint hint: at completely bare filming today…)

Because the beauty world is nothing if not contradictory at times (ie a “natural look” that requires 10 different products), today we heard about a new grooming treatment: fox fur and feathers for your newly waxed pudenda. Yes, a fox fur merkin now exists. (And a thousand kudos to Gawker for dubbing it the “Furkin.”) When we heard Hoda and Kathie Lee mention it this morning on the Today show, we had to hear more.
Completely Bare salons, owned by Real Housewives of New York alum Cindy Barshop, is offering two new procedures, the “Foxy Bikini” ($225) and the “Carnivale” ($195). Cindy is widely credited as being the originator of the short-lived vajazzling trend, so she’s no stranger to sticking exotic things in your nether regions. We spoke to Cindy today to try to get answers to the two big questions we had about her new services: Why? and How?
Fashionista: How did you come up with this idea?
Cindy Barshop: Beauty always follows fashion and I get my inspirations from fashion. All the colored furs are in now and Carnivale’s coming with the feathers so, that’s where my inspiration comes from.
What’s the application process? Do you have to go completely bare?
You don’t have to go completely bare. We can do it any way you want. We actually work with the technicians and your body type and the design that you want. If you are completely bare, I prefer that look. And it depends on the shape of the fur and the shape of the feathers. You don’t just plop it on there. And it lasts! It lasts for a good 3 or 4 days.
Can you shower and get it wet?
Yeah. But I’d tell you not to scrub it.
You mentioned shape earlier. What are some of the shapes?
There’s no shapes. It’s more like a puff.
What do the feathers look like?
The feathers are just multi-colored feathers. We cut and trim them to the body. They’re yellow, pink, red. It depends on what your coloring and skin type is. We match it that way.
How do you attach it?
We have a special glue that’s certified to be OK for the body.
Can you take it off at home, or do you need to come back in to get it removed?
You can take it off at home. You can use a little alcohol to take it off and baby oil afterwards. It’s not simple to take off, but you just have to scrub a little bit.
Have you had many people making appointments for it yet?
We have a few, yeah.
Have you done this on yourself?
I did. I test everything on myself and my whole staff. At first there wasn’t enough body parts [so] I was doing it all over my legs to try it out. It takes a while. It’s not something you just come up with. There’s a certain way of doing it to make sure that it stays and looks nice.
Have you heard of other salons doing this or do you think you’re the first?
There’s no way another salon’s doing this. Completely Bare is always the first.
Where do you get the fur from?
Some of it is vintage. Some of it is from different places.
Is it dyed?
It’s dyed. As of right now the light pinkish looks the best and we have a vibrant red, but [the colors will] change.
Do you think this will be big for Valentine’s Day?
I’ve been in the business for so long that I think it’s going to be big for everybody. It’s not just for an occasion. Like when you buy yourself some lingerie or a new t-shirt. You should feel good, it’s fun, you do it.
We found out after we interviewed Cindy that PETA had already issued a statement about the procedure (which Completely Bare just launched yesterday), telling Today: “It’s outright sleazy, and it’s downright cruel to kill an animal to decorate your privates.”
We are just wondering how you zip your jeans.
Just another use fur fur.

What an experience, flew into Beijing China sunday, I could not believe how clean and beautiful the airport was. We drove to the hotel by taxi, a 40 minute ride, the cost was only $60 Chinese dollars ($10 USD).
The amount of new buildings that are going up is mind boggling. The construction goes up so quick in China, unlike the United States.
The hotel was almond marble, two people sweeping the floor of the lobby at all times.
Many people, always smiling and always working at a quick pace. The streets were filled with gas and electric powered bicycles for transportation, but inspite of all of the two wheeled vehicles the traffic was bad.
Pollution is a big problem in China. You can smell the coal burning electric plants as soon as you leave the airplane. This smoke odor and smog lasted the whole trip.
Went to the Beijing Leather and Fur Show at the Convention Center, not really organized, no name tags, just hanging badges to enter. Over 300 vendors was showing their fur and leather collection.
Some beautiful designs wer being shown and some not so beautiful I had to carefully go thru each booth and select what we can use for the 2012-2012 fur season.
Problem, the furs were designed for the Chinese Market, sizes were small, so I had to be extra careful to make sure the sizes can be converted to US standards.
During the day I wound up at an American Pizza Hut, The food was normal, I finished the meal and tried to give a tip, but the waitress said she could not accept. Not what i expected..
Fur was all over the place, every clothing store, billboards, men and woman wearing fur trimmed garments and virtually every fashion designer making fur coats and fur jackets along with fur trimmed jackets and fur trimmed for the Chinese market.
No Facebook, no Twitter, no netflix and most of the western type tv programming in China was cancelled by the government because they felt they were becoming to Westernized and losing their values and principles.
Felt great to be back home.

To Maintain the quality and life of a fur coat, cold fur storage is an essential part of the maintance required along with proper fur cleaning.
The more time a fur coat spends in cold storage, the better. Please note the word “COLD”. Storing a fur at room temperature negates the most important benefit of fur storage. If a storage facility is kept at room temperature or warmer, then you should consider looking for another facility that meets the temperature and humidity standards.
This is why… as temperature decreases (gets colder) molecules slow down. In biological materials, the less molecular activity, the slower the biodegradation process. One may ask “Why not just freeze it?” You may think that would suspend your fur in time, and this is true. But, if we think back to 5th Grade science class, we remember that when water freezes, it expands. When freezing and thawing is repeated season after season the expansion and contraction stresses, stretches and tears the material on a molecular level and actually speeds up deterioration. The same concept is demonstrated on city streets every spring thaw when pot holes appear. Also, frozen materials become brittle, risking cracking and breakage
This same principle applies to the natural oils in fur and leather materials that keep them soft and pliable. Colder temperatures slow down the evaporation of these necessary oils in your fur garments. Once the oils are depleted from fur or leather it can tear as easily as tissue paper.
With the understanding that colder temperatures protect fur and leather materials against deterioration and drying (as long as there is no risk of freezing), the experts advise that any temperature under 55°F is worthwhile and temperatures of less than 45°F are considered especially valuable to the preservation of fur and leather materials, with effectiveness increasing as temperatures decrease.
Note: It is always a good idea to ask your furrier to see their storage vaults, assuming they are on-site (see below “About Storage Facility Locations). Remember, you are the customer giving them your hard-earned money, you have every right to ask and they should be pleased to oblige you.
Humidity level is important when a fur will be hanging in one place for a significant amount of time. If the humidity is too low (dry air) the natural oils in the pelts will evaporate more rapidly causing the garment to become dry and deteriorate. If the humidity is too high (damp air) they pelts can rot at a fast rate.
