What is the warmest coat
For a region with a cool and even harsh type of climate, buying a fur coat made of natural fur will be an actual solution. With such a variety of fur models, the choice of a warming coat becomes difficult, so we recommend that you understand the furs: talk about their classification and features.
All fur coats are divided into three broad categories: very warm, furs with an average degree of heat retention and decorative, that is, they do not have warming properties.
Which model is the most practical and wearable
There is no single model of a fur coat that would satisfy the needs of all women: it was comfortable, light and warm at the same time, especially since the models differ in color and length, like women in color type.
When choosing a model of a fur product, experts recommend adhering to the following tips:
- First of all, choose the fur that has warming properties and is suitable for a particular region, for example, mink or chinchilla fur will be appropriate for the middle zone of the country, fox fur (including silver fox), sable for the south will be quite suitable light furs like gopher or beaver.
- The inner fur coat filler is another important parameter when choosing; woolen fabric is often present in the composition of the insulated product.Any filler makes the outerwear item heavier, so it is important to pay attention, first of all, to the fur itself.
- A product made from whole fur is warmer than from individual scraps; stretched skins warm worse than those that are minimally processed.
- Fur products differ from each other in length, design and sleeve type. Think about the conditions under which the fur coat will be worn?
For the car, the “autolady” model with shortened 3/4 sleeves and a length of about half a meter will become appropriate in order not to interfere in the car and not prevent entry and exit from the car.
A model of a fur coat for traveling in public transport - a medium-length model with 7/8 sleeves or full sleeves - up to the wrist. The style of the product is selected in accordance with the type of figure; there are fitted type, poncho, flared and their combinations.
A long fur coat to the floor is suitable for walking in the cold season and rare trips in a car, since the long hem of the product will interfere and be deformed when you get out of the car frequently.
What fur product is the warmest
The warmest fur product is created from the skins of animals living in a cold climate and even harsh because nature has endowed these mammals with thick and long fur.
The warmest furs are fox, muton, arctic fox and sable, which have fluffy and thick pile with excellent quality characteristics. Fur coats made of such fur are suitable for wearing in a harsh climate - the Far North and remote corners of Russia.
Mink, beaver and chinchilla fur coats retain heat well, so such products will be appropriate for wearing in the winter season in central Russia with a temperate climate.
Finally, decorative fur products are those made from rabbit, marmot, ground squirrel, ermine and goat skins: they are not able to retain valuable heat and are often worn during the demi-season period when you want to stay stylish.
The fair sex is often interested in which fur is warmer - mink or muton? Recall that a muton is a sheep that has thick dense fur, it has high thermal performance and is able to adapt to the external climate: in severe frost, the muton wool retains heat, and in wet weather it passes air to avoid sweating. A product made from a muton has a low price compared to a mink coat, but the mink looks more expensive and more luxurious, no doubt.
In comparison with the muton and mink, the beaver enters, whose fur is famous for its high wear resistance and heat resistance. Mink is slightly inferior to these two materials, but still remains the most popular among more or less wealthy women.
Another warm leader is the fox; products from a red animal or silver fox look original and amazing thanks to the direct, exquisite fur with a bright pattern. A fox fur coat has high-quality characteristics and excellent thermal qualities; they warm better than a mink and on a par with a fox, however, a woman may not like fluffy long fur or not fit her body type.
Which is warmer: down jacket, coat or fur coat
It is difficult to answer the question unambiguously, we will try to determine the features of each product and draw a generalized conclusion.
A warm product for winter should have good heat-retaining properties, due to which this is achieved and determines the type of outerwear.In a fur coat, fur is an important element, we recall that the warmest in a fox, sable, muton, beaver and mink, the second most important is the filler. A good fur coat should consist of full-fledged animal skins, not stretched or deformed, of high quality and selected, which results in a high price for the product - not always affordable for a woman.
A warm down jacket can have both natural down (goose feather) and its analogue - eco-down; it is important that outerwear has an outer fabric of high strength and is not blown by the wind - this will ensure the preservation of precious heat. The natural feather in the composition of the down jacket warms better, the percentage of its content should be above 90%. A synthetic feather is no worse: it does not form lumps after washing and retains its properties for a long time, moreover, it costs less than natural material.
The big advantage of a down jacket will be water resistance and windproofness, in addition, products often remain affordable for various segments of the population, they differ in external design, length, color, style and other important characteristics for a woman. A down coat is an alternative to a “sports” insulated jacket and an expensive fur coat; a coat filled with natural feathers and a length just above or below the knee, more often than a fitted cut, will be the choice of a true lady for going out in the cold season.
A winter coat is the choice of an elegant woman. The composition of such a product usually includes wool (more than 60%), which ensures high quality and the preservation of accumulated heat. A significant disadvantage of such a coat will be the transmission of moisture, or snow in winter, so it is not recommended to wear it when it snows.
For severe frosts in the conditions of the far north, a fur coat will be the warmest option; for central Russia and its southern corners, a lightweight fur coat, down jacket or elegant coat is equally well suited; the choice directly depends on the financial capabilities and taste of the woman.
