Fur Storage
Click here to view
Professional storage at Weiss during the summer months is most important in maximizing the longevity of your fur. Home storage, using air conditioning or a cedar closet, will not protect your fur from drying out or from dust, dirt or insect damage. Our fur vaults are specifically designed to protect the lasting quality of your fur, offering a temperature-, humidity- and light-controlled environment. Homes are not equipped to provide these combined conditions. When fur is not stored in a fur vault, the hair itself may appear fine but the natural oils of the leather may dry out. If the leather dries out, rips and tears will begin to appear and may not be able to be repaired adequately, nor can the oils be replaced. Annual fur storage at Weiss is a cost-effective way to maintain the quality of your fur.

Fur Cleaning & Glazing
Click here to view
Furs should be cleaned once a year. They may not look dirty, but they need conditioning in order to keep them soft and fresh. Cleaning and glazing is a dry process. It cannot damage your fur, rather it enhances it. It will not shrink, discolor, or change the shape of your fur. When a fur is cleaned and glazed by the expert furriers at Weiss, it will be softer and shinier, providing you with many years of fashionable wear.

Ultima-Protecta Fur Protection Treatment
Click here to view
Ultima-Protecta is a silicon-based repellent spray process that protects fur from snow, sleet, ice and rain. The benefits of Ultima-Protecta include:
- Provides extra repellent protection for fur guard hairs to keep the elements from penetrating the soft underhair and fur skin.
- Keeps fur clean so it retains its luster and sheen.
- Keeps fur looking better longer, adding years to the life of a fur.
- Will not change the color of the fur because it is invisible.
- Lasts for a normal wearing season (should be reapplied annually.)

Linexx Lining Treatment
Click here to view
Linexx is a deep penetrating spray process that strengthens, protects and adds years of wear to any fabric lining. The benefits of Linexx include:
- Penetrates the fiber molecule to increase fiber strength, making the lining more durable and easier to clean.
- Guards the lining against most permanent stains including water, coffee, tea and wine.
- Is more effective than a temporary surface coating like Scotchgard.
- Is safe to use on all fine fabrics.
- Will not change the size, color or texture of the lining.
- Works best on new items but can also be used on older items with slightly less dramatic results. (Note: Fur must be cleaned before Linexx is applied, unless it is a new garment.)
- Lasts for a normal wearing season (should be reapplied annually.)

Fur Alterations & Restyling
Click here to view
The lasting beauty and unsurpassed durability of natural fur means that the pelt of an older fur may be impeccable while the style, size or cut may no longer be right for you. The expert team of tailors at Weiss can create an exciting new garment or accessories from your older fur. Maybe you inherited a fur with great sentimental value but the cut or fit are not right for you. Or maybe the fur you chose 5, 10 or 25 years ago no longer fits your current style. Whatever the case, Weiss offers both alterations and restyling to allow you to get the most from an older fur.
Alterations can make a world of difference to your fur garment. With just basic alterations we can:
- Make your coat bigger or smaller
- Make your coat longer or shorter
- Give your coat fuller sleeves
- Widen armholes
- Soften shoulders
- Move buttons
- and much more...
Restyling offers endless possibilities for your fur and will add years of service to an older fur. A few of the options available through restyling include:
- Make a removable collar and set of cuffs to enhance any jacket or sweater
- Fashion a knit and fur jacket, leather and fur vest or reversible jacket
- Add an ultra-warm lining to a rain coat
- Create luxurious pillows for your home
- and much more...

10 Easy-Care Tips to Help Protect Your Fur
Click here to view
| 1 | Always hang your fur on a broad-shouldered hanger, never on a wire hanger. Give your fur enough room in the closet so the fur is not crushed. |
| 2 | Never hang your fur in a plastic bag or rubber-lined bag. Plastic prevents air from circulating and can dry out the leather. When traveling, store your fur in a cloth garment bag provided by your furrier. |
| 3 | If your fur gets wet, shake it out and hang it out to dry in a well-ventilated room. Keep it away from direct heat or a radiator, which can cause both fur and leather to dry out. After it is dry, shake it again. Most furs will take some rain and snow far better than a wool or other winter coat will. If the fur is soaked through, however, take it immediately to your fur retailer for proper treatment. Never comb or brush the fur. |
| 4 | Never pin jewelry on your fur. Do not use shoulder straps of a handbag on a consistent basis. |
| 5 | Never attempt to mothproof your fur yourself. Home treatments are no substitute for professional cleaning and storage. |
| 6 | Avoid spraying perfume or hair spray onto your fur. |
| 7 | Always store your fur during warm weather with your furrier — never at a dry cleaner. Your furrier is equipped with temperature-, humidity- and light-controlled storage facilities to protect fur. |
| 8 | Have fur cleaned annually by a fur specialist, definitely not a dry cleaner. |
| 9 | Have small rips or tears repaired immediately by your furrier. This will prevent more expensive repairs later. |
| 10 | Avoid leaving a fur hanging in a bright place. The light can cause the fur to oxidize or change color. |

10 Easy-Care Tips to Help Protect Your Leather
Click here to view
From The Leather Apparel Association
| 1 | Always hang leather garments on wide or padded hangers to maintain their shape. Use shoetrees in footwear and stuff empty handbags with tissue to help retain their shape. |
| 2 | Never store leather goods in plastic or other non-breathable covers. This will cause leather to become dry. |
| 3 | Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally, away from any heat source. Leather can be treated with a conditioner to restore flexibility while suede can be brushed with a terry towel to restore its look. |
| 4 | In winter, promptly remove salt deposits from garments and footwear by sponging with clear water, then follow with the above treatment for wet or damp leather. |
| 5 | Avoid very humid and dry environments as well as direct sunlight. |
| 6 | Do not use waxes, silicone products or other leather preparations that impair a garment's ability to breathe. |
| 7 | Winkles should hang out. If ironing is desired, set iron on rayon setting, use heavy brown wrapping paper as a pressing cloth on right side of the garment and a quick hand to prevent overheating and shine. |
| 8 | Avoid spraying perfumes or hair sprays while wearing your garment and do not apply pins, adhesive badges or tape. Wearing a scarf at the hairline will help keep hair and body oil away from the collar. |
| 9 | Hems may be fixed with a tiny amount of rubber cement. For best results, see a leather care professional. |
| 10 | All products designed to be used at home should be tested on an inconspicuous part of the garment. |
