- How to Measure My Hat Size?

The only right way to get a properly fitting snug hat is to measure the circumference of your head. You will need a tape measure to get an accurate measurement. Ask someone to help if you are unable to do it yourself. Take the measurement at the right spot on your head. You can determine exactly where to set the tape on your head by wearing a hat that you already own to see where it settles. After getting your size in centimeters use it on checkout. We will make a new hat from new fur pelts using your parameters. At the moment most of our hats can be done in 54 to 64cm size range. However, we can make it even smaller or larger per custom request. If you feel that you need our custom help don't hesitate to contact us. Be sure to provide exactly measurements that you have got using our guide, we will add all necessary to your declared parameters to make wearing comfortable.

- How to Measure My Boa Size?

We are trying to make our boa models universal to fit different shapes and sizes but before making a purchase we recommend that you visualize how it will look on you. Consider where will the ends of your collar be and how wide will the boa be on your shoulders. Each of our models has several parameters for length and width. Check these parameters for each model on the item description page then using a good tape measure, put it on your shoulders to see the original length. Do the same to see the width. We are the manufacturer and could make any custom changes to our accessories. Please Contact us If you are not sure that our standard model is for you, so we could discuss customizations.

- How to Measure my choker size?

A necklet or a fur collar, this fur choker from our collection’s main feature is its adequate length. Still, it is important to take measurements when buying online. For this you need a measuring type. Measure the neck circumference at the base and choose your measurements on the order page. If your result is, for example, 34cm, like our models in the photo, then we will add a decent margin to length. We make these collars after payment, sized to your specifications. So do not worry, just take measurements, specify size when ordering, and even if your neck is 50cm or more, we will add the required amount of fur to make the collar fit comfortably to bring you pleasure.

- Can you share any care tips?

Oxidation is the enemy of fur so it is best to store your fur accessories in a cedar lined closet or in an air tight container away from sunlight and extreme heat with some cedar blocks or chips in the box. Do not store furs in plastic bags as this prevents the skin from breathing properly.

 
As an alternative to using chemical moth balls you may put a sachet of herbs containing 2 ounces each of dried mint and rosemary, 1 ounce each of ginger and thyme and 8 ounces whole cloves in with your furs. Other herbs you can use to repel moths include lavender, sweet woodruff, tansy, and lemon rind. You can buy herbs in bulk at most health food stores. Fabric softener sheets that are used in clothes dryers are an excellent moth repellent. Tuck a dryer sheet inside your fur hat or muff.

- What is the first steps after receiving my furs?

We ship our hats inside out to protect fur along the way. Turn your hat right side out after receiving. Fluff and smooth the fur with your fingers. If necessary you may use a professional quality round hair brush to lightly & gently brush the fur into shape. You may spritz the fur with a tiny bit of cool water, fluff with your fingers, place the hat over a round form and allow to air dry and fluff again. Never use heat drying methods.
