Women's cashmere coat
Features of cashmere
What does it look like
Cashmere can rightly be called one of the most expensive and high-quality materials. Cashmere is a soft, delicate, light to the touch material. At the same time, it is a very durable and wear-resistant material. Natural cashmere is usually black, gray or beige.
What weather
For the winter period, insulated models with lining and fur inserts are presented. Such a coat can easily withstand temperatures down to -15C.
For the autumn-spring season, demi-season models are suitable. These models are not specifically insulated, but they still retain heat well. This coat can be worn at temperatures up to +10C.
Is it warm
Cashmere is made from the down of goats living in Mongolia, India and China under the most extreme conditions (at temperatures from +40 to -50C). That is why cashmere perfectly retains heat, while it is very light and soft to the touch.
How to choose
When choosing a cashmere coat, you need to consider some features:
- When will you wear. For the winter period, warm models with fur inserts are presented. Demi-season models are suitable for the autumn-spring season.
- Growth. Girls with small stature should prefer shortened models, and girls with tall stature will suit models to the knees or to the floor.
- Lifestyle. Your lifestyle is also very important when choosing a coat. If you lead an active lifestyle or often drive, then the shortened coat model is the best option for you.
- Price. A product made of natural cashmere will not be cheap. Therefore, if you find an inexpensive "cashmere" thing, you should think about it. Most likely there is very little or no cashmere in this thing.
- Color. The color of natural cashmere is gray, black, brown or beige. If the coat has a bright color, then it is no longer pure cashmere.
Care Tips
- Cashmere should ideally be washed by hand or left to the professionals so as not to deform the most delicate cashmere fibers.
- Some items are dry clean ONLY.
- A cashmere item cannot be wrung out. You can only slightly squeeze out excess water, with light hand movements. Then you should dry the thing well, avoiding direct sunlight.
- If you accidentally drip on a thing, such as juice or coffee, you should immediately rinse under cold running water. Cleaning with chemicals is only necessary in extreme cases.
Storage Tips
- The cashmere product must be stored in a special bag for things.
- The coat should be carefully hung on a hanger with soft shoulders.
- Cashmere items should ideally be stored in a cedar closet, this way you protect the item from moths. But, if suddenly there is no such cabinet or chest, then you can use folk remedies. For example, you can put pieces of cedar wood, carnation flowers, lavender or dry orange peel next to the thing. These odors will repel moths.
Material Advantages
- Ease.
- Softness. The fabric is even softer than silk fabric. The fibers of cashmere fabric are much thinner than those of silk.
- The warmth of cashmere fabric has a healing effect on sore joints and muscles.
- Cashmere does not cause allergies.
- Dust mites do not start in a cashmere product.
- Strength. Cashmere is not inferior in strength to silk fabric.

What to choose: cashmere, wool or a combination
Cashmere is a material that is made from the down of a mountain goat. Wool is also a natural product. Most often, sheep and camel wool is used for the production of woolen fabric.
Cashmere fabric is soft, light and warm. Cashmere products do not prick, unlike woolen ones. Cashmere is synonymous with luxury and sophistication. Woolen fabric also retains heat well. Wool does not wrinkle and less likely to get dirty.
Which of these materials to choose is up to you, based on personal preferences and needs. You can choose a product in which there will be a combination of wool and cashmere. Such a product retains heat well and is more comfortable to wear than, for example, a pure cashmere product.
Varieties

Eco cashmere is an artificial fabric, in other words, a synthetic fabric. Eco cashmere products tend to be much cheaper than natural cashmere products. An eco cashmere product does not have some of the properties of natural cashmere, for example, it does not retain heat as well.
Mongolian

On the territory of the country, special cashmere goats are bred, from which fluff is collected manually, with special combs.Therefore, Mongolian cashmere can rightfully be considered the rarest and most expensive. Only the most expensive clothing brands are made from Mongolian cashmere.
