How to Choose the Perfect Cashmere Coat?
Cashmere is one of the noblest and most sought-after materials in the world of high-end fashion. Choosing a cashmere coat is an investment that deserves careful thought. Here is the complete guide to making the right choice.
1. Understanding Cashmere Quality
Not all cashmere is created equal. Quality depends on several factors: fibre length (the longer the fibres, the more resistant the fabric), the number of plies (2-ply minimum for a coat), and the origin of the wool (Inner Mongolia, Chinese Kashmir).
At Coulange 1918, we exclusively select grade A 2-ply cashmere from Inner Mongolia, to guarantee exceptional softness and durability.
2. Which Style of Cashmere Coat to Choose?
- The cashmere pea coat: short, structured, ideal for a chic and casual look. Perfect with jeans and ankle boots.
- The cashmere officer's jacket: military-inspired, it brings a confident elegance. Wear it over a suit or a roll-neck sweater.
- The cashmere cape: the bold alternative. Fluid and enveloping, it enhances an evening outfit.
3. Which Cut for Your Body Shape?
For slender silhouettes, a fitted coat will structure the figure. For broader body types, opt for a straight cut that elongates the line. The B56 short cashmere pea coat by Coulange, with its tailored fit, suits all body shapes.
4. How to Care for a Cashmere Coat?
Cashmere is a living material that requires special care:
- Gently brush after each wear to remove dust
- Air for 24 hours rather than washing systematically
- Professional dry cleaning once a season
- Store flat in a breathable cover, never on a hanger
5. Why Choose a Cashmere Coat Made in France?
