Frequently asked questions

Are Forestfox products made from real fur?

Yes. Forestfox specialises in genuine fur clothing and accessories. The exact fur type is clearly stated in every product description.

Where are your products made?

Our fur garments and accessories are made in our Forestfox atelier in Ukraine by experienced fur artisans.

Are the items in the photographs the exact products I will receive?

For made-to-order products, natural variations in colour, texture and fur length may occur because every fur is unique.

Why can the colour look different in person?

Colours may appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography and your screen settings. Natural fur can also have subtle variations in shade.

Are Forestfox products sustainable?

We believe in creating long-lasting garments that can be worn, repaired, restyled and passed on for generations.

Where does your fur come from?

We mainly use fur sourced from licensed trappers as part of regulated wildlife population-control programmes rather than from fur farms. We work only with legally obtained materials and carefully selected suppliers.

For every product, the fur type and available sourcing information are clearly stated in the product description.

How do I choose the correct size?

Please check the measurements provided in the product description and compare them with your body measurements

Should I measure my body or a coat?

For the most accurate result, measure a body in the clothes you normally wear during winter. This helps us allow enough room for comfortable layering.

Which measurements do you need?

Depending on the product, we may ask for your:

  • Height
  • Bust circumference
  • Waist circumference
  • Hip circumference
  • Sleeve length
  • Preferred garment length

How should I provide my measurements?

You can add your measurements in the product options before checkout or send them to us after placing your order.

Can you help me choose a size?

Yes. Send us your height, bust and hip measurements, together with your usual clothing size. We will be happy to recommend the most suitable option.

Do fur coats fit differently from regular coats?

Yes. Fur garments often require additional room for movement and winter clothing underneath. Some styles are designed to fit closely, while others have an oversized or relaxed silhouette.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. Forestfox ships internationally to most countries.

How should I store a fur coat?

Store it in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Use a wide, strong hanger and allow enough space around the garment.

Can I store fur in a plastic bag?

No. Plastic prevents air circulation and can damage the fur. Use a breathable fabric garment cover instead.

What should I do if the fur gets wet?

Shake off excess water and allow the product to dry naturally in a ventilated room. Keep it away from radiators, hairdryers and direct heat.

Can I wash real fur at home?

No. Real fur should not be washed in a washing machine or cleaned with regular household products. Use a professional fur cleaner.

Can I iron or steam fur?

Do not iron natural fur. Avoid applying direct steam or heat, as this may damage the fur and leather.

How do I keep the fur soft and fluffy?

Gently shake the garment after storage. You may carefully brush long fur in the direction of the hair using a suitable soft brush.

Can you repair or alter a fur garment?

Depending on the item and your location, we may be able to advise you about alterations, repairs or restyling. Send us photographs and details of the product.

How can I contact you?

You can contact us through the website contact form, email or live chat. We aim to answer as quickly as possible.

Can I contact you before placing an order?

Absolutely. We encourage you to contact us with questions about sizing, colour, measurements, customisation or delivery before purchasing.
