A fur coat or jacket is a long-term piece. This guide explains what to consider before you choose one — from length and fur type to fit, quality and care.
Coat or jacket: choosing the length
- Full-length coats fall to the calf or ankle. They give the most warmth and the most formal line, and they suit long evenings outdoors.
- Three-quarter and mid-length coats end around the knee. They are the most versatile: warm, yet easy to wear over both formal and everyday clothes.
- Jackets end at the hip or waist. They are lighter, easier to move in and practical for cooler evenings rather than deep cold — a good choice for the Gulf winter.
Choosing the fur
Different furs give very different garments. Short, dense furs lie close to the body and make a clean, tailored line; long-haired furs give volume and a softer, more dramatic outline. Our fur buying guide describes the characteristics of common furs. Nabi Furriers works across a range of styles and materials — ask our team which are available this season.
Fit and comfort
- Try the piece over the kind of clothes you will wear underneath it.
- Check the shoulders first: they carry the weight of the garment and should sit naturally.
- Lift your arms and sit down — a good fur moves with you without pulling at the seams.
- Notice the weight. A well-made piece feels balanced on the body, not heavy at the hem.
Signs of quality
- Guard hair: brush it gently against its direction — it should spring back.
- Underfur: part the hair and look at the base; even, dense underfur is a sign of a well-chosen pelt.
- Leather: on a well-made piece it is supple and light.
- Matching: the pelts should match in colour and texture across the garment, with neat, flat seams.
Slight variation in colour and in the texture of the hair tips is natural in genuine fur — never a flaw.
Labels and documents
A Nabi Furriers piece may carry a sewn identification label stating 100% real fur and the country of origin, a quality label and hang tags; some pieces are issued a signed Certificate of Authenticity. The quality designations on our labels are the house’s own, not third-party certifications. See Authenticity & Product Information.
Caring for a fur coat or jacket
- Professional fur cleaning only — never wash, bleach, iron or tumble dry.
- Keep it away from moisture, humidity and heat; store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
- Hang it on a broad-shouldered hanger in a breathable garment bag — never in plastic.
- Keep perfume and hairspray away from the fur.

Questions and answers
Is a fur coat or a fur jacket better for Riyadh?
For cooler evenings in the Gulf, many people find a jacket or a mid-length coat more practical; full-length coats give the most warmth for colder climates and travel.
How can I tell if a fur coat is real?
Part the hair: real fur grows from a leather base, while faux fur is knitted into a fabric backing. Natural fur also varies slightly in colour and tip texture. Our identification label states 100% real fur.
