Fur Shearing Process

Shearing of Natural Furs is a key phase in artisanal fur processing, transforming a raw pelt into a garment of exceptional elegance and comfort. At Flashfur, the shearing process is carried out with precision and expertise, using state-of-the-art technologies to ensure flawless results.

What Is Fur Shearing?

Shearing involves the controlled removal of excess hair from the fur’s surface. Using specialized tools, the hair is trimmed to a uniform length, enhancing the material’s softness and natural sheen. This process is essential to prepare the fur for subsequent treatments, such as dyeing or printing, and ensures a high-quality final result.

Compared to plucking, shearing is a more transformative process. It shortens and levels the entire hair length using high-precision machines. Its main functions are to:

• Create a smooth and compact surface, revealing the hidden softness beneath the original layer;
• Give the fur a modern and sophisticated look;
• Provide an even base ideal for contemporary designs or refined finishes.

The result is a fur with a velvety feel and impeccable aesthetics, ready to be turned into eye-catching jackets, accessories, or interior décor items.

The Shearing Process

1. Pelt Preparation: The skins are thoroughly cleaned and treated to facilitate shearing.
2. Shearing: Using precision machinery, the excess hair is removed to achieve a smooth and even surface.
3. Quality Control: After shearing, the furs are carefully inspected to ensure the process has met the required standards.

Benefits of Shearing

• Hair Uniformity: Shearing guarantees consistent hair length, giving the piece a refined and harmonious appearance.
• Enhanced Softness: By removing coarser hairs, the fur’s natural softness is brought to the forefront, making it more pleasant to the touch.
• Optimal Preparation for Further Treatments: Sheared fur is ideal for additional processes like dyeing or printing, ensuring better color and pattern adherence.

Applications of Shearing

Shearing is used in the production of:

• Garments: Jackets, coats, and other fur clothing that require a sleek and even finish.
• Accessories: Fur bags, gloves, and accessories that benefit from a refined surface texture.
• Home Décor: Cushions, throws, and decorative items where aesthetic appeal and tactile quality are essential.
