Winter men's sheepskin coats
On the eve of the onset of a frosty winter, everyone thinks about purchasing warm outerwear. Many men stock up on down jackets, parkas or insulated sports jackets, believing that only these clothing models are purely masculine. But modern designers have long destroyed the established stereotype and replenish their collections with stylish models of men's fur coats and sheepskin coats.
This season, experts advise paying special attention to sheepskin coats. The fact is that these elements of clothing are sewn in such a way as to not only warm the body in the winter, but also emphasize the brutality of the image.
Fashionable styles and models
Modern models of men's sheepskin coats can be called distant relatives of sheepskin coats, which were especially popular in Russia several centuries ago. It is clear that since then the method of dressing leather and fur has improved, styles have begun to take on a more modern look, it is better to warm, become comfortable, and repel excess moisture. But the most interesting thing is that sheepskin coats have become more adapted to the active rhythm of life. What models of this clothing are the most popular this season?
Pilot
Such sheepskin coats stand out among others with several distinctive features.So, they are never longer than the hip, and in terms of tailoring, they practically do not differ in any way from jackets with the same name. The same straight cut, the same fur collar, sewn-in pockets at arm level and cuffs on the sleeves and hem. The only difference from the jacket of the same name is that the trims are trimmed with fur, giving the model a more insulated look. The clasp always comes in the form of a zipper, not covered by a placket, and in most cases there is no hood.
Leather with fur
Sheepskin coats with leather outer trim look the most strict and stylish. Often they have a shiny texture or are quilted. But both collars and cuffs, and trims with hoods can be trimmed with fur. It is interesting that the fur can be both natural and artificial, but the appearance of the sheepskin coat does not suffer from this. Although it will not be superfluous to note that sheepskin coats trimmed with natural fur are still much warmer.
Hooded
At first glance, it seems that the hood is a very insignificant detail of clothing, but in the case of outerwear, this insignificant element plays a very significant role. Sheepskin coats with a hood warm better in frosty periods, even if a man wears a hat. It is this element that protects the most vulnerable part of the body - the neck, from the frosty wind. And it also protects the head from moisture, and this is very important in wet weather.
Classic
The classic models of men's sheepskin coats are distinguished by one feature - conciseness. Strict direct forms of tailoring, the absence of unnecessary decorative elements and restraint of shades - all this attracts men of any age. Such a sheepskin coat fits perfectly into any image, whether it is at least business, at least everyday.
Length
But the length of men's sheepskin coats can be completely different. The only exceptions are floor and midi models, since this is a purely female length. The longest in the male version is a sheepskin coat, reaching to the knee. It is she who is chosen by men, for whom the warming properties of clothing come to the fore. For men who prefer to lead an active lifestyle, slightly different models are intended.
shortened
Such a sheepskin coat in length reaches the middle of the thigh, and is valuable because it does not hinder movement. If you are going to wear such a sheepskin coat in frosty winter periods, you should make sure that it is created from exclusively natural materials.
short
In length, such a sheepskin coat can be compared with a simple jacket or windbreaker, but the texture and warming properties give out the true purpose of this clothing. It is this model that is chosen by men who spend most of their time driving and do not need intensive warming.
Finishing and furs
Usually, men's sheepskin coats are made from one material - sheepskin. But for decoration can use a variety of types of fur:
- Mink - this fur is one of the most expensive, so collars and cuffs are usually trimmed with it to give the image a businesslike look.
- Wolf - such fur looks rather rough, which is associated with the dense texture of the pile, but it is this feature that always emphasizes the brutality of the image.
- Raccoon fur is the warmest and most wear-resistant fur, therefore it is most often used for sewing and finishing hoods.
- Tuscany and silver fox - furs differ in the length of the pile, so they are often trimmed with removable collars.
- Sheepskin is the most popular type of fur for finishing men's sheepskin coats.It is they who most often finish the classic models of the outfit.
It is worth considering that when finishing men's sheepskin coats, manufacturers rarely leave the natural fur color. Most often, the hairs are dyed in classic shades.
How to choose
When choosing a quality sheepskin coat model, buyers should not forget about the following important features:
- A good sheepskin coat cannot be light, because only a long pile and a dense skin can warm.
- The texture of the material should be "graphic writing". This means that if you ran your hand over the surface of the product, a noticeable mark should remain. This rule does not apply only to sheepskin coats with leather covering.
- The seams on the sheepskin coat should be even, without tubercles, corners and protruding threads. It is better if the line is double.
- If you choose a dyed sheepskin coat model, then a sharp chemical smell of paint should not come from it. The entire surface of the sheepskin coat should be painted evenly, without visible light and dark areas. The fur on the inside of the product should not spill out even with intense exposure.
Remember that you should not choose a sheepskin coat back to back. It is better to leave a margin for a warm winter sweater. Particular attention should be paid to the shade of the product. If you want to emphasize the presentability of your own image, then it is better to choose models of classic tones - black, brown, gray. For bold young people, brighter models are intended - burgundy, beige, sand.
