Twice a year…
In short, a good variety representsa sable fur. The photo of the animal, at the same time, also says that twice a year the animal sheds. In winter, his coloring is uniform and light due to a lot of downy hair. The tail in color is the same as the back. Only at the tip the color darkens slightly. But how does the sable fur transform in the summer? The photo shows an animal with a low and rare cover. Pooh on it is almost absent. Fur color is generally darker than in winter.
Depending on the time of year, the skins are still divided.into several groups. Fur, as mentioned, of course, is different. In winter, sable is removed, for example, first-grade skin. The fur on it is fully formed - shiny, thick and high. In late winter, the first grade is obtained with an average defect. Being on the sides begins to thin a little, and the hair dims. In the fall, summer and spring, the cover on the skin already gives clear signs of over-ripeness. It becomes even more dim and thinning on the sides and nape. By the summer the fur is already too low. It grows about half in the middle of autumn. Well, second grade skins can be obtained in early winter. The fur on them is quite high and thick.
Stage number one
Where does it all begin?Before you get products from sable fur, it is, of course, necessary to first remove the skin. To remove the tube on it you need to make a cut from the middle finger of one hind paw on its inner side to the other finger. The tail is cut on the underside from root to tip. The skin is removed, starting from the hind limbs. The carcass is suspended in sparse, the edges are pulled down. As a result, the skin is removed from the front paws and head. In conclusion, the lips and nasal cartilage are trimmed.
When removing the skins with stockings, the first cuts are madeon the head. For her and hung the carcass. The skin is fully tightened. There are no cuts on the paws. At the very end of the tail is cut on the bottom surface.
Editing Features
The next steps are mezzanine and degreasing.received skin. Do not forget that in order to obtain beautiful high-quality products a sable must be very carefully processed. Types of fur affect the selected editing method. Rules for each ridge should be selected the most appropriate. Most often used the following designs.
To edit the skins with a tube, the Elkova rules are intended. They give them a rectangular shape.
Equally popular is the useIgnatov designs. These rules give the skin a long shape. They, in turn, are divided into three types (65, 60 and 55 centimeters in length and, respectively, 10.9, 10 and 9.2 centimeters in width). The width of the slats is 2.5 centimeters, thickness - 1 centimeter.
For editing stocked skins usedrules of oval construction. Thanks to them, it is possible to achieve an oval shape. The construction is also made in three rooms. Length - 48, 40 and 32 centimeters, width - 12, 10 and 8 centimeters.
Quality
How do you want to see the fur of sable and minkto the consumer? Of course, quality, without any defects. However, it is absolutely impossible, because animals are harvested in one of the two most effective ways - they shoot them from a gun or use all kinds of autocrats. Both options, of course, spoil the fur. Guns leave traces of shooting, damage the hair with bullets and shot, fur smears with blood. In addition, no one is immune from breaks from a hunting dog. Samolovy also lead to some defects. For example, to the absence or damage of the paw and fur.
Skins can also be affected ifwrong to shoot and process. Given the considerable cost of this fur, hunters need to be very careful in their treatment. That is, by no means prevent the formation of gaps, irregular cuts, drafts, etc.
Choosing fur
So, go shopping. How to distinguish sable fur from a huge variety, presented today in shop windows? When to do it best?
Regarding time ... If your wardrobe is stillnot enough fluffy coats, spring - it's time for such a purchase. The cost of furs is falling both in specialized stores and at various fairs. It is more practical to make such purchases in the summer. However, in the hot season to try on furs do not want much.
Now more about the sable.This "king of furs" can be recognized without much difficulty. Luxurious and expensive - he will be the first to be able to attract the attention of beautiful ladies who want to look chic, feminine, charming. This fur was considered to be a real jewel from the time of ancient Russia. When the Tatar-Mongol yoke, he even joined in a tribute on the same level with gold. Sable fur is necessarily present in the festive attire of the boyars and princes. His status did not change over time. Sable coats and collars in the Russian Empire showed the size of the state of their respective owners. Thus, do not doubt at all that you will see this fur immediately. Brilliant, rich, soft and thick - he does not remain without admiring glances of those around him.
Beauty and refinement
In short, just the height of grace and charmis sable fur. Its description, besides beauty, also speaks about wear resistance. It is worn well and for a long time. Together with the skin, hair is very tightly connected, so do not doubt that the fur will start to fade after the first season. In terms of its durability, sable ranks fourth among its “brethren”. Only otters, beavers and fur seals are ahead of it. Moreover, the sable manages to preserve its brilliance and beauty practically without any additional care. In any case, such a purchase you will be satisfied.
By the way, the most expensive and, accordingly, the mostbeautiful is considered to be the Barguzin sable. Rich dark brown color with a lot of "gray" hairs allows you to give it a special shine. Sable Yenisei looks a bit more modest. “Silver” hairs in it are much smaller, and the main color looks lighter. The cheapest fur (as far as this can be said) is the so-called Canadian sable. Although experts are most often used to assert that such an animal does not exist in nature. Fur marten and sable are very similar in their texture. Differences, as indicated above, not so much. Therefore, marten just paint, posing as sable. Of course, there is no absolute guarantee of accuracy of this statement. However, this could explain the relatively low cost, and, as experts assure, the dubious quality that is unusual for this fur.
Fear is also worth buying products from the "cell" sable. Animals that are bred in captivity are valued much less, since the quality of their fur is incomparably lower.
The main "experts"
