that’s so good to know!! I’m so glad to hear it... where I am, it seems to two different pricing. One for “locals”, and one for foreigners like me. May I ask if you have shortened yours, or a complete remodeling? :ty:

I have made absolutely complete remodeling, cleaning, and new lining. They took better, more beautiful pieces of fur and made completely new coat. And that price is really great. They only take your measures (or you can measure yourself) and you tell them your wishes, even via pics.
And yes, they can do a hood if there is enough fur for it.

I understand your predicament. I have a full length mink I don’t wear often either because of its length. Not practical for daily wear, grocery shopping, etc. Can you ask around for reputable furriers? I would not want to entrust a sable coat with just anyone. What about purchasing a new shorter coat for daily wear or is that out of the question? Otherwise maybe you are right and altering what you have might be a good idea. I would not make it too short. I just hate seeing a beautiful full length sable chopped up but at the same time $3 grand or even less is never going to buy you a brand new shorter sable so maybe it’s worth it. Ugh I’m no help. But how pissed will your mom be? You have to factor in the mom guilt. Lol. Good luck deciding. Keep us posted.

well I do have the reversible that’s shorter, and it has worked so far! But sometime I do also want to wear something more beautiful than utilitarian, if you know what I mean. Ironically I only have one pretty sable coat for evening wear; and my other 2 are more casual wear (if you count the long coat as casual, I do), so I think by wearing a full/ or even mid length Russian sable is more luxurious than the reversible one (albeit also Russian, but less pretty). So that’s part of the reason why I want to remodel: to be elegant and usable! I guess I just don’t feel pretty in the winter, and it’s one way to make me feel better? Hope it makes sense. :)

I will keep you posted for sure!! Thanks so much for taking the time to response. I always feel silly as I don’t have anyone to talk this over with, except online. :) well; i already know what my mom would say anyway!

That’s great news, thank you! I would like to maybe change it to a mid-length with hood instead of a long one too!
