Does your winter jacket have a fur edge on the hood? Find out here why you've always worn it wrong.
The icy temperatures really bother me in winter. And maybe (like me) you've tried everything from thermal leggings to hand warmers to keep you warm.
I recently discovered a new winter trick and am thrilled: Did you know that the fur on your winter jacket can do much more than just look chic?
The fur collar on the hood has this function
Winter jackets with artificial or real fur trim on the hood are controversial - but they have a long tradition. The design originally comes from polar jackets, where the fur edge has the task of protecting the face from wind and snow.
And you can use this function in everyday life because the fur edge keeps your ears warm. But different than you might think now.
The trick: put fur in the hood
The hood is a savior in an emergency, especially in icy winds. But if your ears are still freezing, you can easily help: tuck the fur into the hood!
The cozy trim forms a warming barrier that effectively protects your ears from the cold. The best part? You don't need extra ear warmers or a thick hat.
Here's how:
Carefully fold the fur trim inward so that it covers the inside of the hood. And pull the hood over your head so that the fur directly covers your ears. You can already feel it getting pleasantly warm.

Fur, whether real or made from synthetic fibers, has the ability to trap air and thereby retain heat on the body. By folding the fur inwards, it becomes a warm cushion for your ears and prevents cold air from entering.
Practical winter trick for all jackets
The fur on your winter jacket is more than just a stylish accessory. With this simple trick you can keep your ears warm even in icy temperatures - without any additional gadgets.

Tipp:If your jacket doesn't have a fur collar, you can consider faux fur, sold separately, that you can attach to the hood. These are often inexpensive and easy to install.
