How to choose the perfect cashmere coat?
Cashmere is one of the most noble and 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: fiber length (the longer, 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 peacoat: short, structured, ideal for a chic and relaxed look. Perfect with jeans and ankle boots.
- The cashmere officer jacket: military-inspired, it brings assertive elegance. Wear over a suit or a roll-neck sweater.
- The cashmere cape: the bold alternative. Fluid and enveloping, it elevates an evening outfit.
3. Which cut for your body type?
For slim silhouettes, a fitted coat will structure the figure. For broader builds, prefer a straight cut that elongates the line. The B56 short cashmere peacoat by Coulange, with its tailored cut, suits all body types.
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 out for 24 hours rather than washing systematically
- Professional dry cleaning once per season
- Store flat in a breathable garment bag, never on a hanger
5. Why choose a made in France cashmere coat?
