On colder days of the year, a coat becomes an indispensable piece of clothing. It is an outerwear that perfectly protects against the cold, and is elegant, being a good choice for both ladies and men. But what coat material will work best? Below we present several popular types, with particular emphasis on woolen fabrics. Check out what to sew a fashionable coat from and where to get quality fabrics.

Coat material - what must it be characterized by?

The wide selection of fabrics for coats offered in wholesalers makes it not always easy to make the right decision. Before you start thinking about whether you want to choose a smooth, patterned or herringbone material, it is worth taking a moment to review the ingredients and find out what properties result from specific mixtures. Thanks to this, we will be able to choose the right material for coats, i.e. one that will be tailored to the season and will allow us to successfully implement the project we have planned.

The right coat material should look elegant and pleasant to the touch, but above all perfectly protect against cold and weather conditions. A model designed for the coldest days of the year must be "fleshy", i.e. with a compact weave structure, to provide good thermal insulation properties and be resistant to moisture. In spring and autumn, on the other hand, you can bet on materials that are not so densely woven.

High-quality coat fabrics are also long-lasting. It happens that this type of clothing made of high-quality materials is passed down from generation to generation in families, because they are still maintained in good technical and visual condition. It is also worth bearing in mind the practical aspects. In this context, you need to choose a coat material that will be easy to keep clean. Of course, not every coat will be machine washable, but it is important to be able to give it to the laundry without fear that the fabric will pill or shrink. It is also important to choose a material that will be comfortable to wear. Some of us may associate heavy coats from our grandmothers' wardrobes, which were also biting for the body. Today, no one wants to wear them anymore, because nowadays they prefer lighter and more skin-friendly materials, which, however, provide comparable protection against the cold.

Wool fabrics

Coat wool remains the most classic and proven material for winter coats. Woolen fabrics are synonymous with elegance and high quality. This material allows you to create a variety of cuts, as it is available in different patterns and colors. Another advantage is that it has a soft grip, does not wrinkle and provides effective protection against the cold in autumn and winter. Let's get to know some popular types of wool for coats.

Lamb's wool

In Izpol.pl offer you will find, among others, Italian coat fabric made of 100% lamb's wool, otherwise referred to as virgin. It is perfect for sewing coats, jackets or vests, because it provides warmth and at the same time allows the skin to breathe. Its advantage is also that it does not absorb water, so in such a coat we are not at risk of getting wet.

Wool of applause

Among the high-quality fabrics available in our online store, there is also alpaca wool, which will work well for the most demanding customers. It is a material ideal for sewing warm coats, which perfectly retains heat, and at the same time is light, delicate and silky. It is characterized by less fluffiness, compared to sheep's wool, which allows you to sew clothing with a more pronounced character.

Boucle wool or with cashmere

Recommended materials for coats also include wool with various admixtures of fibers. An example is wool with cashmere, which will work well as a material for elegant coats, worn on special occasions. It is extremely soft and delicate. Another proposal from this category of fabrics is boucle wool, which is nothing more than a mixture of wool and acrylic fibers. Due to its high weight, it is perfect for cold days. Its hallmark is the characteristic, looped surface of the material.

Flute

Fleece wool is used to sew warm outerwear, especially large, oversized cardigan-style coats. It is characterized by a nice fuzz and fluffy structure. It is made of carded yarn and then subjected to scratching and shearing on both sides. The fleece is highly resistant to creases and lays well.

Chanel material - a cross between wool and viscose

In the category of coat materials, wool or cotton and viscose blends are also fashionable. Such a combination creates chanel - an elegant fabric with a characteristic, slightly irregular weave. It combines the softness and warmth of natural fibers with the lightness and strength of synthetics. It is slightly elastic, fits well and provides comfort of wearing.

Polyester coat fabrics - ortalion

Raincoats are a specific type of outerwear. They are usually made of a fabric called ortalion. It is a thin, malleable material with a characteristic rustling structure. It is lightweight and very resistant to tearing.  Ortalion can be quilted with thread or sonic, which provides an even more interesting design of clothing.
