Shreveport native, Jeff Haughton has deep roots in the community. His name is recognizable to anyone who has ever owned or dreamed of owning a qual- ity fur. Jeff's family owned Jungerkes Furs in downtown Shreveport in the 1970s, which is still remembered as the premier fur salon in the Ark-La-Tex.


He continues that tradition as the owner of T. Jeff Haughton Fine Furs. Enchanted by the craft at an early age, Jeff apprenticed across the industry and his knowledge grew as he worked with the finest designers and craftsmen in the industry.


"My experience spans more than 40 years and includes retail icons Neiman Marcus, Koslow's and Sakowitz," he says. As a Master Furrier, Jeff creates patterns made to measure for each client, resulting in a custom fit.


Proper storage for a fur is paramount, and repairs must be made quickly to maintain the integrity and value of the skin.

"Temperature and humidity increase the longevity of your fur," Jeff says. "The high humidity in our area can ruin the leather, which is where the true life of a fur lies. If the leather is torn, stiff or brittle, your piece is not long to last and will show in the fit and luster of the fur."


T. Jeff Haughton Fine Furs provides professional storage, climate and humidity controlled to protect and maintain the luster and suppleness of the skins, guaranteeing a beautiful finish. The salon is fully insured and secured, and he guarantees the proper preservation of each fur.

"I'm proud to bring my craft home to Shreveport," Jeff says. "Our vault is state of the art, designed to ensure ideal humidity and temperature, conditions proven to increase the life of your furs."


Professional clean and glaze prior to storage will keep a garment looking fresh and supple. T. Jeff Haughton Fine Furs provides expert cleaning services that will restore a garment to its original splendor.


Whether it's the finest wild pelts from the high Rockies or world-class mink from the farms of Utah, Jeff has the connections and expertise to ensure the very best fur experience to be found.
