Choose an area of your home that does not get a lot of direct sunlight. A closet right by your bedroom window may not be a great place for a fur coat. A closet near the hallway, away from windows, may be a better option.
It’s especially important to store fur in cool places during the summer months.
It may be a good idea to keep a dehumidifier in the room where you store your fur, especially if you live in an area prone to humidity.
You can buy a broad-shouldered hanger at a department store or online.
You may be able to buy a cloth storage bag at the store where you got your coat. You can also order a storage bag online.
You should also visit a facility in person and ask to see the storage area. You do not want to store your coat in a facility where it will be jammed in with other clothing items. You should also ask about coverage in the event the fur is lost or damaged. If you have insurance, make sure your insurance still covers your fur if you choose to store it. You should also make sure the storage facility has insurance coverage, and ask whether or not you would be compensated in the event of damages.
