Definition
Galonering gjøres for å oppnå en større flate på skinnet eller for å få et "luftigere" pelsverk. Måten det gjøres på er å felle inn semsket skinn eller nappaskinn på forskjellige måter. Det er mest vanlig å galonere langhåret pels for å få den luftigere i håringen. I tillegg blir plagget også lettere.
