Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialist profession involving measuring, cutting, sewing, and finishing garments made from fur.
Description
Fur Clothing Tailors handcraft garments such as coats, jackets, and vests using animal fur as material. They first take the customer's measurements, create patterns, and cut the fur. Sewing is done with consideration for the direction and thickness of the fur pile, followed by attaching lining and accessories to finish. High hand-sewing skills and extensive material knowledge are required, and they are active in the high-end made-to-order market.
Future Outlook
Demand is shrinking due to rising animal welfare awareness and the spread of fake fur, but appreciation for advanced craftsmanship continues from the perspectives of the luxury market and preservation of traditional techniques.
