In the 60s in the USSR, it was prestigious to have a fur coat made from a mouton or, as they used to say, from a tsigeika. This fur is still popular today. But from its name it’s difficult to understand from which animal’s wool fashionable outerwear is made. Not everyone knows that “mutons” are not some exotic animals that live in forests, but a domestic animal that is well known to everyone.
Based on the opinions of experts and studying reviews, we found out the main properties of a mouton, figured out how warm, beautiful fur coats are made from animal wool, how to choose a fur product from a mouton, how to care for it and what to wear it with.
What kind of fur is a mouton?
You may be disappointed, but the animal that produces this oddly named fur is the common domestic sheep. Warm socks, cozy sweaters, and mittens are knitted from its wool. And not only. Outerwear is made from dressed sheepskin - skin taken from adult animals or lambs older than six months.
Depending on the breed of sheep, its age, length, and quality of wool, sheepskin can be used for leather, fur, or fur coats.
Fur sheepskin is obtained from sheep that produce fine-fleece, semi-fine-fleece, and semi-coarse wool. Outerwear is sewn from it with the fur facing out.
From the skins of animals that produce heterogeneous coarse wool with a length of 1.5 cm, fur sheepskin is made. It is used to make sheepskin coats, sheepskin coats, fur vests, and sheepskin coats with wool inside. And the mezdra - the leather part of the sheepskin - is on the outside.
The fur of a sheepskin coat is soft, but quite durable, does not fall off or wrinkle, and is resistant to moisture. In the fur industry, the light, beautiful fleece of the Romanov breed of sheep with strong flesh is especially valued.
Sheepskin leather is skins with low quality hair that are not suitable for making fur coats and fur products. They are used in leather production.
And yet, why does fur have such a strange name? In Russian language dictionaries there is the following definition: mouton (translated from French mouton - sheepskin, valukh, ram) is a specially prepared valuable sheepskin with silky, shiny hair.
In Russia, mouton is the most common type of sheepskin. It is made from Australian merino skins. This breed of fine-wool sheep is bred in Australia and New Zealand. Subsequent processing of Australian mouton using formaldehyde, which is prohibited abroad, is carried out in Russia.
There are other types of sheepskin fur, which differ in the method of dressing the skin, in the type of fleece. Most often, confusion arises when it comes to tsigeika and mouton.
Are all breeds of sheep and rams suitable for mouton coats?
It is not surprising that the wool of not every sheep or ram is used to make such fur. In Russia, a special breed is grown for these purposes - Australian merino .
She grazes in the Caucasus. These sheep are kept in a special way, with attention paid to their nutrition and sufficient time spent in the fresh air. Other breeds of these animals are present in the meadows of Argentina and the already mentioned Australia and New Zealand.
In addition, the length of the pile, suitable for the future fur coat, is also important. And if the pile is not thick enough, then the main function of winter outerwear - keeping warm - will not be fulfilled.
Important! Unscrupulous manufacturers may ignore this parameter for the sake of material gain. Therefore, when purchasing, always check the length and density of the pile. The thicker the fur, the warmer the fur coat. Also, there should be no bald spots on it. This is a sign of a low-quality product. You may have encountered a fake.
How does mouton differ from tsigeika and astragan
As we have already found out, a mouton is a processed, cut to a certain length, ennobled sheepskin of fine wool Australian merino with very thin and soft hair. After special dressing, the skin with a velvety glossy pile becomes lighter and more impressive. In some ways it is not even inferior to valuable breeds of fur.
Mouton can be cut or full (uncut). The length of the fibers of the latter is 1-1.2 cm. This is a very warm fur that will warm you up in 30-degree frost. The fibers of a cropped mouton are shorter - 0.6-0.8 cm. And the fur is less warm.
Tsigai fur products are made from sheared sheepskin of the Tsigai breed of animals. Initially, this was the name for refined goat fur (ziege - goat in German).
In the USSR, tsigeika was very popular. It was made using almost the same technology as the mouton: the fur was trimmed and dyed brown or some other dark color. But they didn’t treat it with formaldehyde. The pile turned out to be coarser, the products were heavier, not as strong and wear-resistant as those made from mouton.
Astragan fur is a type of mouton. It is produced using special technology using fine fur of the highest quality. Its peculiarity is twisted curls up to 7 mm long. Fur coats made from this material are lighter, more durable, and more expensive than mouton ones. It is recommended to wear them at temperatures down to -10 degrees.
To visually determine what kind of sheepskin a product is made from, you need to look at the height of the pile and its characteristics. For example, tsigeyka feels rough, heavy, and feels warm. Astragan with shorter hairs and pronounced curls is softer. Mouton products are characterized by smooth fur without curls. They are lighter than cigeaceae, but heavier than astragan.
Beautiful, light and warm
Over time, mouton fur coats, which appeared as an alternative to more expensive products, gained great popularity, and in Russia, for example, they occupy a large part of the market. And this is not surprising! Russia is a northern country and in many regions the temperature in winter drops below - 30 0C. Taking into account these climatic conditions, as well as the fact that prices for products made from mouton are quite affordable, fur coats made from refined sheepskin have rightfully won the love of women of different ages.
Modern mouton fur coats are very impressive. The soft fur of voluminous fur coats drapes beautifully, and fur coats with feminine silhouettes look very elegant. Chic coats, elegant jackets, formal coats, and comfortable jackets are made from mouton. This pearlescent-shiny fur feels like both silk and velvet to the touch. The mouton pile is very dense - individual hairs cannot be felt. This fur will not wrinkle and will not lose its attractive appearance even with daily use.
These qualities of mouton (excellent heat retention, high functionality) and its relatively low cost make this fur popular for sewing children's outerwear. A high-quality mouton product does not require a warm lining, and the wind does not blow through it. Clothes and hats made from mouton are not afraid of wet weather or snowfall.
Adult and children's outerwear made of mouton
How to make a mouton
The technological process consists of several steps. Animal skins removed in a single layer are cleaned, straightened, preserved, sorted, processed, dressed in a special way, and soaked in formaldehyde.
At the last stage, the skins are stretched, the edges are aligned, combed, the fur is carefully trimmed, and the pile is dyed in different colors: from white to charcoal black, brown. The result is durable, smooth fur with a plush dense texture that is resistant to friction, moisture, and mechanical stress.
According to one version, turning sheep skin into elegant thin fur was first possible in Germany, according to another - in France. Be that as it may, the new technology using formalin, which gave fur not only practicality, but also tenderness, very quickly spread everywhere. And it improved over time. They have learned to process sheep wool in such a way that it is difficult to distinguish it from elite fur.
Description and characteristics
Fur processed using new technology with a high pile density looks flawless, does not wrinkle, and does not change direction. It is used to make practical, durable, weather-resistant sheepskin coats, mantles, fur coats, and fur coats that can last 5-8 seasons. And even more.
This is a light and warm material - in this parameter it is inferior only to beaver or sable. It is comfortable in both warm autumn and winter cold. Does not blow out in strong winds. The fur looks good even with everyday wear, does not pill, is moisture resistant due to the treatment of the fibers with a formaldehyde solution, and is well breathable. Wool dyes well - designers take advantage of this when coming up with models of different colors.

Color range of mouton fur coats
The palette of shades can be any.
Sheep wool itself has an inexpressive color that is very easy to paint over. Thanks to such diversity, it is very easy to choose accessories and shoes to match your fur coat. For example, it can be black, brown or white. Shades of gray, such as silver, are very common. Colored options are gaining considerable popularity, especially among young people.
Often there are combinations with other materials - leather, mink, sable, fox, etc. The base is usually a mouton, and the trim - collar or cuffs - is made of other fur or leather.
How to choose a fur coat from a mouton
What do women pay attention to when choosing a fur coat? To make it warm, practical, light. But the main thing is fashionable, beautiful, stylish. If the initial purpose of the purchase is to stay warm in winter, a warm mouton coat is just what you need.
The wear resistance of the material is an important parameter if you are planning a purchase seriously and for a long time. A fur coat made from a mouton will last on average 5-10 years. How long depends on the quality of the fur, how it is processed, and how to care for it.
A high-quality fur coat should be light - many people pay attention to this. But this is a relative indicator: it depends on the type and quality of the skin, and on the length of the fur. For example, a polished sheepskin coat is always heavier than a mouton fur coat, and outerwear made from high-quality sheepskin is always heavier than items made from faux fur.
Fur quality
A very important parameter that determines how long the new thing will last. The fur should be dense, thick, smooth, shiny, soft, uniform without bald spots, bald spots, or paint stains.
It could use a little beating. The villi should not be pulled out. And especially to come out in large numbers. The fur should not be crushed and will immediately return to its original position if you run your hand over it against the pile. If something is wrong, the fur may be of poor quality. The thing will not last long and is unlikely to keep you warm in winter.
Tailoring quality
It is always necessary to check how well a fur coat is sewn, regardless of the popularity of a particular manufacturer. Pay attention to how tightly all parts of the fur coat are connected to each other, which should be sewn using the “skin to skin” method, and not glued.
The seams connecting the parts of the fur coat should be soft to the touch, elastic, flat, without moving edges or protruding threads, and can be easily felt even through the lining. If this is not the case, there is a risk of running into glued fur. After a couple of seasons, individual pieces of skin may fall apart at the seams.
The lining of a fur coat should be thin. The seams that connect it to the fur coat, to the hood, to the pockets are straight and neat.
Wanting to save money, some manufacturers use low-quality fur in lapels. This also needs to be checked. And also how and how securely buttons, hooks, decorative elements, and zippers are fastened.
Paint quality
All mouton fur coats are dyed in different colors. If everything is done according to technology using high-quality dyes, the fur remains elastic and shiny even after dyeing. Retains color for a long time and does not fade.
You can make sure that everything is in order here by running a piece of light cloth over the fur. If there are no traces left on it, good.
Style, length, color of fur coat
It is advisable to sort this out before purchasing. But if you follow the general recommendations, the length of the fur coat (unless it is a short fur coat or jacket) should correspond to height. As for the fur color and style, designers recommend choosing models closer to the classic ones, in a neutral color, for everyday wear. This makes it easier to combine outerwear with shoes and other things.
A few recommendations
The risk of counterfeiting a fur product on the market is much higher than in a specialized store. In the store, the buyer will be shown a product quality certificate confirming the safety of the product, which has passed all required tests. As well as a warranty card and all necessary documents that may be required in case of returning a fur coat.
The label on the lining of the product should contain information about the country of manufacture, the product itself, and recommendations on how to care for it.
What is mouton made from?
What is a mouton?
Mouton is a refined sheepskin, dressed in a special way and treated with formaldehyde, which “preserves” the hairs of the wool. Mouton comes from the French word mouton and means sheepskin, ram, valuh.
Mouton is 100% natural fur of natural origin, which provides the best protection from cold, wind, moisture and other weather conditions, allows you to maintain body temperature and protect from the physical influences of the environment. Mouton has gained popularity due to the positive properties of fur. Mouton is a soft, durable and very practical material. It has excellent shine, lightness, elasticity and does not pill when worn daily. For a long time it retains its excellent appearance, the pile does not break or deform.
The fibers of sheepskin fur create a natural layer of air and maintain air circulation, which has a beneficial effect on the microclimate of the body, retains heat, preventing freezing at the lowest temperatures, in harsh climates.
What is mouton made from?
The Australian Merino is a breed of fine-wool sheep bred in Australia. Merino wool is fine-wool wool, less than 24 microns thick, sheared from the withers of sheep raised in special nurseries in Australia and New Zealand.
The beneficial properties of merino wool have been known to mankind for a long time. The ancient Scots wore clothes made from this wool by heating it over steam. Now it looks a little strange, because putting on wet clothes is uncomfortable even in summer. The fact is that slightly wet merino wool becomes hygroscopic. It is capable of absorbing up to 33% of moisture from its volume, heating up to the temperature of the human body and remaining not blown through. In Spain, products made from merino wool were intended only for the royal court; export outside the state was punishable by death. Widespread industrial use only began at the end of the 18th century, when the British managed to smuggle merino sheep to Australia.
Merino wool is an excellent thermoregulator, trapping a large mass of air inside the high layer of fibers. Maintains a constant body temperature without overheating. At the same time, it absorbs moisture from excessive sweating and provides ideal ventilation. It is also worth noting the medicinal properties. Products made from merino wool provide micro-massage that improves blood circulation. Recommended for rheumatic diseases, arthritis, back and spine pain. In addition, merino wool is very elastic - even if the product is stretched by 30%, it takes its original shape. Thanks to this property, products made from merino wool are considered very durable.
Australia and New Zealand are famous for their grazing and sheep farming. Therefore, raw materials are purchased there, which are produced in Russia using special technology. Australian mouton is the fur of sheep of the Australian breed. Manufacturers have long noticed that the skins and fur of this breed compare favorably with others. The skin (dermis) is much thinner than that of sheep raised in Russia. In addition, Australian fur is thinner and more pleasant to the touch. This is due to the fact that Australia has a much milder climate than ours.
Russian fur is also suitable for clothing production. It is used to make sheepskin coats, hats, shoes, sofa covers and carpets. However, fur coats and hats made from sheepskin are not of such good quality, due to the denser dermis. Therefore, many manufacturers around the world have long switched to Australian fur.

How to distinguish a mouton from a fake and faux fur
Modern mouton fur coats are sewn and processed using modern equipment. They are very light - they weigh about two kilograms and do not look bulky. Based on these characteristics, they can easily be confused with artificial fur coats. But, unlike them, natural mouton retains its main qualities - wear resistance and the ability to warm in the cold. These are complete winter items.
Not a mouton fur coat at all, but something very similar to it, there may be Polish, Turkish, Chinese products that are sewn from cheap sheepskin, usually used for sheepskin coats. In such skins, first of all, the quality of the skin is valued, not the fur. But manufacturers pass them off as real mouton fur coats, turning the sheepskin over with the fur facing out.
They are dyed dark to hide the flaws of low-quality fur. Often, instead of fur dyes, dyes for suede and leather are used. After a couple of seasons, not a trace will remain of the beautiful rich color.
Such mouton-like fur coats made from ordinary sheepskin with thin flesh and sparse fur are of low quality. Products made from them, although natural, are not warm enough. More suitable for European winters with temperatures hovering around zero. Sometimes they are insulated with padding polyester. Insulated sheepskin is one of the signs that this fur coat is not made of mouton.
Compared to artificial fur coats, artificial fur is much longer. It must be secured to the base.
The shine of fur is another indicator: although artificial material shines, it does not look entirely natural.
Natural fur and products made from it are always heavier than those made from artificial material. Although modern mouton products, if you compare them with the heavy sheepskin coats from the times of the USSR, are also quite light.
Whose wool is used to make a mouton fur coat?
Unlike other furs, from the name of which it is immediately clear whose wool it is, the mysterious mouton leaves many perplexed.
Some people still don’t know what animal the mouton fur coat is made from. A mouton is made from sheepskin, familiar to many from the old sheepskin coats that our grandfathers wore. It's amazing how different these products are from each other. After all, a mouton fur coat is a chic outerwear made of delicate and shiny fur.
The answer is that there is a special technology with which sheepskin is transformed into delicate and soft fur with a dense plush texture.
It dyes well, which allows you to achieve a large palette of shades to suit every taste. This fur coat is very durable and durable due to the fact that the sheep skin itself is quite large in size. The number of seams is therefore minimal.
Custom fur coats
Fashionistas of all ages often refuse heavy fur products. You can go anywhere in an elegant light fur coat: to work, for a walk. Everywhere it is comfortable, beautiful and warm. If we are talking about modern lightweight models made of mouton.
In order to preserve the main quality of a fur product at low weight - to keep you warm in winter, they are sewn from the skins of young animals. To do this, small skins are tanned and stretched. They become practically weightless. To make the item warmer, manufacturers sometimes use additional lining.
Lightweight fur coats weigh little, look good, are practical, and are inexpensive. The downside is that their service life is significantly shorter than that of their heavier weight counterparts.
Sometimes fur coats are made without skinning the animals. In this case, the wool is simply cut off. The resulting fur is processed and applied to a fabric base. To prevent the fur fabric from absorbing dirt and moisture, it is treated with special products. A product made from sheared wool is light, beautiful, and inexpensive. In the wake of humane treatment of animals, such clothing is in demand.
Of course, they are not as warm as natural sheepskin coats. Depending on the percentage of wool in the material, they can be worn at temperatures down to -10 degrees. Sometimes they use additional insulation.
Fur coats made from sheared wool are inferior to natural ones made from sheepskin in other respects: they do not absorb moisture well, are not as durable, become electrified, and synthetic materials in the composition can cause allergies.
What to wear with a mouton fur coat
Nowadays they sew such fur coats from mouton that women wear them with pleasure with different clothes. Warm, light, flowing, of different styles, with mink and silver fox collars. The main rule is to put together a harmonious, stylish look in which things go well together.
Short jackets can be worn with jeans, trousers and even skirts. Short fur coats to the knee and slightly below go well with a skirt. But here you need to successfully choose the length and style of the latter. You can wear anything under a long fur coat.
Depending on the style and length of the product, appropriate shoes, suede or leather gloves, hats, the role of which can be played by a hood, and bags, are selected.
If you read what women write in reviews, the main idea can be formulated as follows: of course, you need to follow fashion. But a fur coat, first of all, should decorate a woman. And do not spoil its appearance in any way.
In general, owners of fur products made from mouton note the following qualities among the advantages:
- practicality - retains good appearance and shape even with constant wear in different weather conditions;
- fur coats are stylish, beautiful, fashionable - suitable for any age;
- very warm and light - they are comfortable in cold and windy weather;
- long service life - your favorite clothes will delight you for many years;
- affordable price.
There are practically no disadvantages if the fur coat has high-quality, correctly dyed fur and is professionally sewn in compliance with technology.
How to choose the right mouton fur coat
Contents:
Ever since her youth, every woman dreams of a fur coat. This fur product not only keeps you warm in the cold, but also looks very elegant and graceful. A girl in a puffy down jacket gives the impression of a teenager rushing to college, while fur clothing ennobles and makes a lady a true lady. Real winter will begin very soon: severe frosts, strong winds, snowfalls. Therefore, now is the time to take care of “insulating” your wardrobe. We will tell you how to choose a fur coat from a mouton, and to act correctly. After all, such an expensive purchase should not only fit well and highlight your beauty, but also last for many years.
Benefits of Mouton
Today you can find a wide variety of fur clothing options in stores. It is sewn from mink, fox, lynx, arctic fox, beaver, astrakhan fur, rabbit and other, both expensive and cheaper materials. There are a lot of styles - from fitted short models to long floor-length coats with flared sleeves. Therefore, choosing one product or another is quite difficult.
Today the mouton has gained great popularity. This fur is a sheepskin refined and processed using a special technology, which is soaked in formaldehyde and then dyed. The fact is that the natural color of sheepskin does not look very attractive, so it is tinted in various shades: from light to the darkest.
Thanks to a special processing method, in which the fur seems to be preserved, mouton fur coats are not afraid of severe frost, wet snow, or rain. This product is very moisture resistant, so with proper storage and proper care you can wear it for about ten seasons.
Mouton (if you look at it and its “competitors”) has pronounced heat-saving properties. A fur coat made from a rabbit or a wolf cannot be compared with it. In such clothes you will not freeze even at the lowest temperature. In addition, thanks to the variety of shades in which sheepskin is dyed, a mouton coat will suit every woman - just choose it correctly according to your color type.
One of the main advantages of this fur, in addition to its warming properties, is the ideal ratio of parameters such as quality and price. For affordable money, you can buy something that you will happily wear for more than one winter. The quality of the fur is not affected by weather conditions - the coat will remain just as beautiful after wet snow or after rain. Therefore, if you are planning to buy a fur coat, but your wallet does not allow you to buy a very expensive product, opt for a mouton - you definitely won’t regret it!
The right choice is the key to long wear
To choose the right mouton fur coat, you need to follow a few simple rules. This way, firstly, you will invest your money wisely without spending it on a low-quality item, and, secondly, you will be able to enjoy the product for many years and will not freeze even in the coldest winter.
So, when planning a purchase, go not to the nearest market, but to a specialized store. There, the risk of stumbling upon a low-quality and low-quality fake is minimal. Once you decide on the model you like, be sure to ask the seller for a certificate of conformity - a document confirming that the fur coat has passed all the necessary tests and is safe - as well as a warranty card, thanks to which, if necessary, you can always return or exchange your purchase. It is also necessary to pay attention to the labels located on the inner lining - they should notify the buyer about the country of origin of the product, as well as how to care for it.
The most important characteristics that should be taken into account when choosing a fur coat are the quality of the fur and coloring, as well as sewing and processing of seams. Let's look at this in more detail:
- To make sure the lint is strong, squeeze it in your palms and release it after a few seconds. It will be correct if the hairs have returned to their original shape and volume - this means that the fur is of high quality.
- Run your hand against the growth of the fur - a good pile should not break or stick together.
- To make sure that the product will not fade in wet weather, run a piece of light-colored fabric over it. If there are traces of paint on it, then the item was painted in violation of the technology, so it should be discarded. Pinch the fur hairs with your fingers - they should not fall off when worn.
- Good clothes look decent not only from the outside, but also from the inside - check that the lining is sewn correctly and neatly, but not completely stitched at the bottom. Inspect the seams: on a quality item they are not bulging, and excess threads should not stick out anywhere. Remember that the size of a whole skin is fifteen by fifteen centimeters. A product consisting of pieces not only costs much less, but also heats much worse.
- The back of the skin should be white, without creases or cracks.
- A low-quality fur coat may not be sewn, but glued. Naturally, such a thing will fall apart after two days of wear. Therefore, make sure that all seams are stitched with thread.
Let us once again focus on the fact that the seller must provide you with a warranty card for your purchase. Only in this case, in accordance with the provisions of the Law “On the Protection of Consumer Rights,” will you be able to return the product within a certain period of time if defects are discovered that are beyond your control (for example, a manufacturing defect).
The classic model of a fur coat is considered to be a straight or fitted piece, mid-calf length, with a belt and hood. Properly selected clothes fit perfectly, do not ride up anywhere and do not pinch. When giving preference to one model or another, keep in mind that you will have to wear it for a long time, so don’t chase fashion, but buy something that will decorate and warm you.
Fur coat care
You already know how to choose a mouton fur coat, however, in order for the product to serve you for many years, you need to properly care for it.
This fur material is quite durable and durable. But it is very easy to damage it with any accessories with sharp edges, so do not bring them close to the surface of the fur coat. In addition, irritants such as hairspray, perfume and alcohol may affect the appearance of the product. These products contain chemicals that can dry out the pile, causing the mouton to fade and lose its original appearance. All kinds of sprays, as well as sprayers that are used to combat moths and insects, have an equally negative effect.
If you are caught in rain or sleet, do not dry your fur coat with a hairdryer or place it on a radiator or other heating elements. Let the product dry on its own, even though it may take longer. You want to enjoy your purchase for many years, right?
The appearance of fur is negatively affected by friction and other loads. Therefore, try not to wear a fur coat if you are traveling in public transport crowded with people, and car owners should periodically change their driving position so that one side of the product does not wear out. To do this, straighten the pile with your hands, shake the hem regularly, or better yet, when driving, hang your outerwear on the back of the chair or on hangers.
At least once a year, take your fur coat to the dry cleaner. However, in an ordinary establishment it can be ruined, so choose a salon that specializes exclusively in cleaning fur items. Another factor, the observance of which will help preserve the original appearance of the product for as long as possible, is the storage conditions of the fur coat:
- the closet where clothes are hung should not allow direct sunlight to pass through, otherwise the mouton will quickly fade and fade;
- provide the fur coat with sufficient space, do not squeeze it with other things so that the pile does not wrinkle;
- in order not to deform the cover of the product, hang it on a wooden or plastic hanger with an elongated neck;
- buy a cover and cover your fur coat with it; a plastic bag is not suitable for this, since the fur coat does not breathe in it, and this negatively affects its appearance.
- In summer, keep the product in a cool place, and ideally purchase a special refrigerator storage unit.
When choosing a fur coat, focus on your body type. So, any style will suit slender and long-legged girls, while plump girls should give preference to clothes with short fur, since long-haired hair makes them look fatter. If you are an “apple” type, buy a wide, knee-length A-line fur coat, and a “pear” woman should focus on the waist - to do this, buy a model that comes with a belt. Remember that it is important not only to choose a good product, but also to maintain it properly. Then the mouton purchase will serve you for many years and, perhaps, will even be inherited by your daughter or granddaughter.
