How to choose the perfect cashmere coat?
Cashmere is one of the most noble and sought-after materials in the high-end world. Choose one cashmere coat is an investment that deserves consideration. Here is the complete guide to making the right choice.
1. Understand the quality of cashmere
Not all cashmere is created equal. The quality depends on several factors: the length of the fibers (the longer they are, the more resistant the fabric), the number of plies (2-ply minimum for a coat), and the origin of the wool (Inner Mongolia, Chinese Cashmere).
At Coulange 1918, we exclusively select grade A 2-ply cashmere, sourced from Inner Mongolia, to ensure exceptional softness and durability.
2. What style of cashmere coat should you choose?
- The cashmere pea coat : short, structured, ideal for a chic and casual look. Perfect with jeans and ankle boots.
- The cashmere officer jacket : of military inspiration, it brings assertive elegance. Wear over a suit or turtleneck.
- The cashmere cape : the daring alternative. Fluid and enveloping, it enhances an evening outfit.
3. What cut for your body type?
For slender figures, a fitted coat will structure the silhouette. For larger body shapes, prefer a straight cut that lengthens the line. The short cashmere pea coat B56 by Coulange, with its fitted cut, is suitable for all body types.
4. How to maintain a cashmere coat?
Cashmere is a living material that requires special care:
- Brush gently after each wear to remove dust
- Air out 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?
