Mens Cashmere Coats

Cashmere is one of the most beautiful and tactile materials. Clothes made from such fabric will always be fashionable and stylish, and its owner immediately stands out from the crowd. Quite a lot of different things are sewn from cashmere, but outerwear is becoming especially popular. In the article, we will consider the features of men's coats made of this material, their styles, colors, as well as possible disadvantages.

Cashmere is a soft and airy fabric that is obtained from Tibetan goats living high in the mountains of India and some other countries. In the spring, these goats develop an undercoat that is carefully combed out. The high prices for cashmere are explained by the fact that goats are able to exist and reproduce only in certain areas, they simply cannot be transported. In addition, not too much fluff can be combed out from each goat - only 100 grams.

Natural cashmere has a huge number of positive qualities:

• it is a light, almost weightless fabric: it will be pleasant to walk in such a coat;
• despite the lightness, the material is very warm;
• hypoallergenic;
• strength, wear resistance;
• health impact: the wearer of cashmere clothes improves the condition of the spine.

As for the shortcomings, they also exist:

• cashmere coat wipes quickly on collars and cuffs;
• in spring and summer, you need to protect clothing from moths;
• rather high prices with a large number of fakes;
• harsh winters can get cold, so it is recommended to choose a half cashmere and half wool model.

If you are planning to buy a cashmere coat, there are a few important rules to keep in mind:

• you cannot save here, because a thing is bought for more than one season, it must look beautiful and expensive;
• the coat should be tried on over a sweater, jacket or any other piece of clothing that you wear in winter;
• when trying on a thing, move your arms: your arms should be freely divorced, there can be no contraction on the back, and folds under the armpits;
• if you are short, you need to choose shortened models;
• the length of the sleeve should be such that it does not cover the thumb.

Now let's look at several popular styles, especially loved by the stronger sex.

• Chesterfield. This is a classic, very stylish coat that has been popular for two centuries. Single-breasted, no seams at the waist, short lapels, no cuffs. A feature of the style is the sewn straight pockets, similar to those sewn on jackets. Suitable for broad-shouldered, as well as slender men with a rectangular body type. Strict, office option.

• Trench coat. Another classic model, invented during the First World War. This is a double-breasted coat with a slit in the back. The coat has cuffs, wide sleeves, and a belt. The trench coat will look beautiful on broad-shouldered, as well as overweight guys. However, it must be remembered that it should not be too tight on the body.

• Covercut. This model is very similar to Chesterfield, but it is a less strict version. Single-breasted, comes down to the knees. There are cuffs, there is a slot in the back, and there are several pockets in the front. There is also a large pocket on the inside of the coat. Covercoat is the perfect choice for slim and tall men.

• Polo. One of the most popular styles, this coat was previously used by American and British polo players. It features a golden sandy color, although other options are now available. There is a belt at the waist, and up to 8 buttons are sewn onto the model. Side pockets.Polo suits all body types, but looks most interesting on skinny guys.

In addition to the models described, the following remain invariably popular:

• classic double-breasted coat with pointed lapels;
• overcoat;
• pea jacket;
• duffle coat.

As for the color scheme, there are different options available here. Everyday wear, as well as a strict dress code, imply the use of the classic range: black, dark gray, dark blue shades. Brown, beige, sand tones look elegant. For those who wish to emphasize individuality, you can choose brighter models. They are rare, but still available. Keep in mind, however, that such coats require delicate taste and can be difficult to pair with accessories.

If you have chosen a classic coat for the office, then it will be in perfect harmony with skinny trousers and classic pointed toe shoes. The colors of things should not be flashy; monochromatic options are welcome, best of all in light colors. And here when the dress code is not too strict, you can wear a black coat with stretch jeans and sneakers, pullovers and thin sweaters look quite elegant.

Consider pairing gray coats with jeans and sneakers. Loafers and high boots will look original. It is recommended to choose a sweater, shirt or jacket from the top, depending on the season. To complete the look, you can wear a scarf and gloves.

Many men are also interested in what kind of headdress will be combined with a cashmere coat. Here you need to build on the general image. If you are heading to the office and your style is formal and business, then you should opt for an elegant hat or cap. And for those who prefer casual, knitted hats, which are gaining popularity again, can not be abandoned.

Cashmere is a difficult material to obtain and therefore has a high price tag. This is the reason for many fakes. In order not to be disappointed, you need to be able to distinguish a genuine thing from an artificial one.

• A coat made of natural fabric looks a little uneven, you can't find the perfect weave here. This is because the down is light, like smoky. In addition, the fibers are branched.
• The garment should be very light (this does not apply to products with 50% wool in the composition).
• Natural cashmere does not shine, this is a sign of the presence of a large amount of synthetics.
• Take your coat in your hands and squeeze. You should be warm. But synthetics will not warm you at all. Also listen to the sound. If there is a slight creak, this is definitely a fake.
• It is impossible for a thing to be too bright. It is impossible to get rich shades naturally.

In order for the coat to serve you for many years, it is recommended to adopt several recommendations:

• do not wear a thing every day, this material needs "rest" from time to time;
• when you come home, immediately hang your coat on a hanger;
• it is not recommended to wash at home, especially since some coats require only dry cleaning;
• if the coat is wrinkled and kinks formed, steam them with an iron, but through gauze or a thin cloth;
• pellets that appear in places of friction can be easily removed with ordinary scissors.
