What does 'pelt on pelt' mean? Some sort of layering/overlapping?

just one pelt sewed next to another....

OK. Forgive me for being a bit dim, but how else could it be done?

Pelts are cut into tiny pieces, then sewn into long thin rows, creating a v pattern. This is called "letting out". Creates a more flowing garment. It is the common way you see mink done.

You can only clean a fur 6 times?!

I am not sure which type of fur he was thinking of. I have never heard that.

 

I know some methods make the fur feel "coated"

 

Especially sheared type furs. Many do not know how to clean them properly and they require special equipment.

 

I wonder if something was lost on the translation??

That's what I'm thinking.

 

My silver fox coat has been cleaned and glazed annually (10 times to date) and still looked and felt mahvelous when I wore it to dinner earlier this evening.
