    FUR CARE

    Your fur, shearling or leather garment, and your specialty outerwear are valuable and deserve professional fur care.
    • Allow your Fur coat or other garments proper space in your closet. Never keep your fur coat or other valuable coat in a plastic bag. IF you wish to keep it covered, use a cotton cloth bag. Your fur requires proper air circulation; Use a cotton cloth bag when traveling or transporting your fur to and from cold storage. The smell of both moth and cedar balls often adhere to fur and create unpleasant odors.
    • Proper cleaning and conditioning of your fur coat and other garments will often remove such and most other unwanted odors.
    • Do not sit for a prolonged time on your fur, shearling or leather coat as this may lead to premature wear.
    • Refrain from excessive use of purse straps and other shoulder straps while wearing your fur, shearling, leather and other fur type outerwear, as this too will lead to premature wear.
    • If your fur coat gets wet, shake it off and let it dry naturally. DO NOT USE HEAT!!! Using heat will cause both fur and leather to dry out. If your fur item gets soaked it needs special attention by a qualified master furrier.
    • Be sure to have proper annual care including cleaning, conditioning, tightening of buttons, closures and lining and the mending of early tears - some will be invisible to you. Be sure to have your fur garment evaluated free of charge – in order to avoid unseen damages worsening and becoming costly or even irreparable to you.
    • Conditioning your fur garment replenishes essential oils necessary for the longevity of your fur..
    • Your fur, leather, shearling and fine outerwear will provide you years of enjoyable wear when they are professionally conditioned and stored.
    • Each spring store your garments in a temperature controlled, moth controlled, moisture controlled vault. Keep your garments away from heat and pests as both can created devastating damage.
    Professional storage during the spring and summer months is important to maximize the longevity of your fur. Proper caring for your fur including cleaning and storage is vital to maintain or help restore your garment’s quality.
       
     
       

    Repairs

    Your fur is an expensive investment. Even fur that has been gifted is expensive to replace. Bring your garment for repair as soon as you notice a slight rip, tear or other sign of excessive wear. Letting a rip go can become a very costly mistake. Visit us at either of our two locations for a free estimate.


    We have been in business for over 90 years and are experts in fur design, remodel and repair. Our professional furriers will mend any fur, from the smallest tear to replacement of complete sections, assuring that your valuable garment is handled with the integrity and respect equal to our own.


    The smallest tear can lead to the costly replacement of a complete pelt or section if not attended to quickly and properly. A minor tuck or shortening can remove minor wear from fur cuffs, pockets and hemlines. Salt can also be dealt with in this manner. Be sure to have your fur coat thoroughly inspected and maintained annually in the spring.
       
      Cleaning

    Your furs should be cleaned and processed once a year to maintain their luster and preserve the oils in the skins. We use a professional gentle fur tumbling process with special cleaning solutions. The garment is then glazed to bring out the sheen and make it soft and supple. NEVER attempt to clean a fur garment at home or use a commercial dry cleaner or solvent.

    After a harsh winter, solvents, salt, dust, dirt and other destructive agents must be gently removed from your fur, shearling and other fur garments.

    Our processes will help preserve them, extending their life span and assuring you years of enjoyment. Our processes which include: expert inspection and fur cleaning, the proper removing of stains from linings, cleaning and glazing of your garment will help preserve your garments for years to come.

    We invite you to bring your garments in for a free inspection or quote for remodel.
       
      Cold Storage

    Furs must be stored in a climate controlled, moisture controlled, moth controlled storage vault in order to best protect the animal skins from drying out as well as to protect them from heat damage and insects. The time to store and service your valuable fur, shearling or fur trimmed garment is at the start of every spring. Professional storage during summer months is most important in extending the longevity of your furs.

    If a fur is not stored in a professional vault the hair itself may appear to be okay, but the natural oils of the skin will begin to dry out causing the fur to easily rip or tear at the seams. Fur is expensive. A small investment in annual cleaning and storage can help to extend the life of your fur garment.

    Keeping fur at home during the summer could be a very costly mistake. Both standard and cedar closets are not suitable for storage. Caution! The smell from the use of cedar and mothballs will adhere to fur, leathers and wool, creating lasting unpleasant odors.

      I had been walking around with an image of a fur coat in my mind for years, but I could not find the coat anywhere! I just kept hoping for a solution.  I knew what I wanted and I was not willing to settle.  In the summer, I was on vacation in Chicago.  That is when we met Jay Garber and his designer, Michelle.  Together, they worked with me to design this exact coat of my dreams.  I want to thank them both for this amazing experience.  I received the coat and it is even better than I had ever imagined!  Thank you S GARBER FURS!  I will be seeing you again!  You have made me one very happy customer!
