Women's sheepskin coats 2021-2022

Fur outerwear, designed to be worn in the cold season, made from animal skins dressed using special technologies.

Unlike a fur coat, sheepskin coats are worn with fur inside, although there are also two-sided options. The classic version of a sheepskin coat is a sheepskin coat.

An ideal option for a woman of any age and status - when the presence of a sheepskin coat or down jacket in her wardrobe speaks only of her preferences. However, most of the ladies have to decide what exactly she has to buy, and how the purchase will behave in the realities of the rather harsh Russian cold weather.

It is simply impossible to compare which is warmer - a down jacket or a sheepskin coat. It all depends on the expected operating conditions, style, material, product length, manufacturer.

Therefore, in order to determine the choice, it is worth considering a number of comparative parameters:

1. Material. A sheepskin coat is almost always (with the exception of eco-options) made from natural materials. The down jacket is almost always (with the exception of the filler, and even then, not for every company) synthetic.
2. Features of care. Directly follow from the first point. Natural materials are good, however, and care is more difficult than artificial ones. If a down jacket caught in the rain can be dried in a couple of hours, then the sheepskin coat may be irreparably damaged if measures are not taken in time.
3. Thermal insulating properties and practicality. Of course, it is incorrect to compare the Canada Goose parka, designed for operation at extremely low temperatures, and a short lightweight sheepskin coat made of astrakhan fur or, conversely, a warm sheepskin coat made of merino or Tuscany (one of the warmest and most practical sheepskin coats) floor-length with a lightweight down jacket, therefore we can say that both sheepskin coats and down jackets should be chosen, adhering to a clear understanding of what time of the year and where exactly you are going to wear these clothes. However, if the question arises about the temperature difference during one day, moreover, accompanied by precipitation, then the down jacket will be more appropriate.
4. Price. If we compare approximately equivalent brands, then the cost will also be in the same range.
5. The beauty. But in this case, the advantage will be clearly on the side of the sheepskin coats. Undoubtedly, modern down jackets differ in quite a variety of styles, decor, interesting accessories, however, the variety of models of “reverse fur coats” cannot be compared with down jackets. In addition, a beautiful sheepskin coat always looks much more presentable than any down jacket - after all, it is quite difficult to imagine an elegant combination of an evening dress and any, even the most expensive jacket.

Having analyzed all the given selection criteria, we can make a logical conclusion - the heat-insulating properties of these two items of warm outerwear, of the same length, comparatively the same in quality, created for operation in the same climatic conditions, also turn out to be approximately equivalent.

Therefore, when choosing what to buy, a sheepskin coat or a down jacket, be guided by your own style, which you adhere to constantly, if this is a daily version of outerwear. If we are talking about the beauty and elegance of the image, then the advantage will always remain on the side of the sheepskin coat.

A sheepskin coat is not at all necessary, as many think, a heavy warm sheepskin coat, designed to be worn exclusively in the cold season. Depending on the material from which it is made, the method of processing and dressing of skins, various models of sheepskin coats can be worn almost at any time of the year.

For really low temperatures, warm sheepskin coats are designed:

• Merino is one of the warmest sheepskin coats, even thin ones, since this material has thick wool. The disadvantage of merino sheepskin coats is their comparative fragility and weak resistance to deformation, since the wool fibers are of small thickness.
• Enterfino - unlike merino sheepskin coats, have a less dense, however, thicker and coarser wool, as a result of which they are less warm, but much more durable than the previous version of sheepskin coats.
• Toscano is a very warm and beautiful type of sheepskin coat with long, thick, silky fur, which, moreover, has exceptional durability for sheepskin coats.

For a dry off-season, lightweight autumn and spring types of sheepskin coats are perfect:

• Karakul - beautiful, light sheepskin coats, mostly made by eminent designers, are quite rare. Such a sheepskin coat cannot be called a practical thing, however, they can certainly become one of the indicators of your high status.
• Kozlina is also an excellent material for a demi-season sheepskin coat. They are not as warm as winter ones, and not as elite as astrakhan, but they are one of the most durable options for this type of outerwear.

It often happens that in areas with long rainy seasons, a sheepskin coat simply cannot be put on without the risk of losing a beautiful thing due to moisture and dirt.

However, modern technologies for making sheepskin coats are designed to help us be beautiful at any time of the year, while using different types of coatings that improve both the appearance of the sheepskin coat and increase its practicality:

• Crack is the most common type of impregnation.Creates a film of flakes on the surface of the sheepskin coat, which has a water-repellent effect.
• Nappalan - impregnation with a solution containing artificial polymer leather, while the surface of the sheepskin coat looks like leather.
• Pool-up is one of the most modern types of processing, in which the suede surface is impregnated with a solution containing rubber and creates the effect of a taut leather.

Sheepskin coats, like any other type of outerwear, can have a cut that provides a different silhouette:

• straight;
• flared;
• trapezoidal;
• asymmetric.

The cut of the sleeves of sheepskin coats can also be of several types:

• set-in sleeve, including Empire style;
• raglan;
• a one-piece sleeve, such as a batwing sleeve or a kimono;
• may not have sleeves.

How long to choose a sheepskin coat is a matter of personal taste and self-esteem:

• a shortened version - to the waist or slightly lower;
• short - below the waist, on the line of the beginning of the hips;
• elongated - up to mid-thigh;
• medium length - to the knee and slightly above / below;
• long sheepskin coats - from the middle of the lower leg to the length of the floor.

Modern fittings used in sheepskin coats can be of several types:

• buttons with welt loops;
• buttons with hinged loops;
• zipper (two-way and one-way);
• hidden clasp (with a strap);
• combined fastener (with a zipper and with buttons).

Often sheepskin coats, sewn from sheepskin, are trimmed with the fur of another animal. Sheepskin coats with a collar trimmed with mink look very elegant. An effective version of a sheepskin coat with a hood completely or on the edge trimmed with a fox-fire, and high cuffs from the same fur.

Lightweight sheepskin coats with a dressing "like a reptile" with a luxurious long collar made of a silver fox or raccoon look great. More economical and, unfortunately, less durable, but still very beautiful is the model of a sheepskin coat with a detachable stand-up collar and the same cuffs made of rabbit fur.

Usually a sheepskin coat is decorated in two cases - in the case of the initial flight of the designer's imagination and in the event that you want to transform an old sheepskin coat. Various materials and methods are used for decoration:

• Laser engraving - this type of decor is used on the canvas itself, from which the sheepskin coat will then be cut.
• Lace - for lightweight models, a fairly thin woven lace is quite suitable. Knitted lace made using the technique of coupling guipure looks great on a sheepskin coat.
• Yarn - knitting of individual elements, followed by sewing to a sheepskin coat or knitting directly along the edge of the product (hem, cuffs, edges of the shelves).
• Embroidery is a very interesting way to decorate, allowing you to get original models in the boho or Russian style.
• Applique is an effective option for decorating a sheepskin coat, with which, however, you should be careful when sewing on or gluing an applique so that the material of the sheepskin coat does not pull off. Appliques from the so-called "laser" leather, the patterns of which are very elegant, look very interesting.

• Drawing - carried out either manually or by stencil. For this, a special paint is used that can easily endure daily wear and even dry cleaning.
• Fur - fur trimming of the hood, cuffs, edges of the sheepskin coat from the fur of the sheepskin coat itself or other type of fur.
• Beads, rhinestones, beads - used to decorate a product in the boho style. Sometimes, with the help of stripes or patterns formed from such elements, you can restore a sheepskin coat in deformed places, not only correcting the damage, but also breathing new life into an already boring thing.
• Leather inserts - leather is an excellent material that logically and elegantly accentuates the beauty of suede.

Modern technologies and inexhaustible imagination of fashion designers contribute to the fact that absolutely any woman can choose a sheepskin coat only for herself, guided only by her own taste and financial capabilities.

Perhaps there is no style in which it would be impossible to realize a product from tanned skins:

• The casual style is one of the most common styles, which is often dominated by most of our life. But the casual style can also be light, bringing not only comfort and naturalness into everyday life, but also a touch of playfulness.
• In a sporty style - another version of the everyday street look that perfectly adapts to an active lifestyle.
• Retro style - this style is perfect for romantic natures who, first of all, want to be feminine.
• In military style - for amazon ladies, gentle in soul and unapproachable in appearance. Sometimes a thing in this style only emphasizes the fragility of a woman, increasing the desire to take care of her.
• In boho style - a spectacular combination of incongruous, which gives both convenience and the ability to create an attractive image. Artistic, shocking, unlike any other - in a sheepskin coat made in this style, you are guaranteed to be in the spotlight.
• In the Russian style - unusually bright, first brought to the podium by Vyacheslav Zaitsev in the last century, sheepskin coats in this style are still popular, especially among celebrities.

The material for sheepskin coats is always a fur fabric:

• suede leather;
• suede with impregnation imitating leather;
• leather;
• artificial material imitating leather or suede - the so-called eco-sheepskin coats.

The color of a sheepskin coat made from natural skins varies within the natural range: light beige, red, gray, brown, black. However, for those who find such a palette boring, the modern leather industry can offer almost any color shade: from reds to purples.

Light-colored sheepskin coats with contrasting trim look unusually elegant. An interesting color scheme is yellow, not every lady decides on it, but correctly played, a sheepskin coat of this color can become a real eye-catcher. Among colored sheepskin coats, all shades of navy blue (blue, turquoise, green, blue), as well as purple and its more delicate, lilac modification, have become very popular lately.

The combination of burgundy and red, red and black colors is no less popular. Lovers of extravagance and slight outrageousness should take a closer look at leopard or reptilian prints.

According to seasonality, sheepskin coats can be:

• demi-season, including plucked and sheared;
• winter.

Manufacturing options:

• one-piece;
• patchwork;
• combined, including with leather, textiles, knitted elements;
• bilateral.

• flared;
• trapezoidal;
• oversized;
• cocoon;
• poncho;
• cape;

• parks;
• jackets;
• jackets;
• pea jackets;

• double-breasted and single-turn;
• with different types of collars: stand-up, English, apache, turn-down, without a collar, with a hood;

The time when expectant mothers, especially those in the second half of pregnancy, almost with horror awaited the onset of cold weather, when they have to put on heavy, uncomfortable, and sometimes even difficult to converge outerwear, is long in the past. Now for a pregnant woman, you can choose a stylish outer wardrobe, which includes, among other things, a sheepskin coat, which will make her image easy and interesting both during pregnancy and after it.

An excellent option for cutting sheepskin coats, which are suitable for pregnant women, is a trapezoidal cut that does not restrict movement and even hides an interesting position if the expectant mother wants it.An empire-style sheepskin coat looks gracefully on a pregnant young girl, with a cut-off bottom from the chest line and two rows of buttons at the top of the product, emphasizing the fragility and tenderness of the silhouette.

Fat women in our time can also easily choose a sheepskin coat for themselves in size. Unlike an ordinary fur coat, which weighs not so little, which is important for the owner of a large size (from 52 to 60), and in most cases, it adds volume that is completely unnecessary in this case, and is quite expensive.

An oversized sheepskin coat or a sheepskin coat with a trapezoidal cut, and maybe an ultra-fashionable cape will make the image of a lady in the body elegant and stylish, despite her splendor, and sometimes thanks to her.

The only thing that ladies with volumes need to take into account is that you should not wear short types of sheepskin coats, they can expand the already rather large hips and abdomen. The most versatile and traditional, almost a win-win, option in this case is a straight cut sheepskin coat, knee-length or slightly below.

Russian women at the age of about 50 were quite conservative until recently and preferred the same traditional styles, but now they are increasingly not going to put up with the onset of old age, and often look more interesting at 50 than they looked at 35 or 40. This is facilitated by and the right choice of warm outerwear, including sheepskin coats.

Of course, creating her own style, a fifty-year-old woman is more inclined towards elegant silhouettes and tries to avoid extravagant details, but sometimes it is enough for her to put on a frivolous sheepskin jacket and jeans (if the figure allows and the feeling of inner harmony is not disturbed) in order not only to feel, but also look significantly younger than your passport age. The assortment of sheepskin coats for a woman of 50 and above, perhaps, should be limited only by the absence of flashy colors that are unlikely to decorate her and some styles, which are still more appropriate for frivolous youth (for example, a pink sheepskin coat in "princess" style).

A sheepskin coat is not the easiest thing to care for, however, if you want it to delight you as long as possible, you should pay special attention to its respectful attitude and a number of rules, the regular observance of which will help you to extend its service life.

• do not wear a sheepskin coat in rain or sleet;
• if, nevertheless, you did not manage to avoid moisture getting on the sheepskin coat, try to shake off the water as soon as possible and dry the sheepskin coat at room temperature;
• under no circumstances is it recommended to dry the sheepskin coat on or near heating appliances;
• if you really want to wear a sheepskin coat in wet weather, you can try to treat it with a special water-repellent impregnation sold in aerosols, but this should be done very carefully, carefully reading the instructions and try on the least noticeable place of your sheepskin coat;
• also not recommended for a sheepskin coat, especially dyed in bright colors, prolonged exposure to bright sun;
• the sheepskin coat should be stored in a dark, dry place, carefully rolled or folded, while trying to avoid its tight contact with other things; you can also put it in a bag made of breathable material;
• washing a sheepskin coat is contraindicated; in case of heavy dirt, only dry cleaning is allowed;
• try not to sit in a long sheepskin coat to prevent it from stretching from the back;

• when sitting down in a short sheepskin coat, always undo at least the bottom button, this will help to avoid stretching both the loop and the fabric of the shelf itself;
• when putting on a sheepskin coat, remind yourself not to carry a bag with a long handle on the shoulder or with short ones on the elbow, so the sheepskin coat will very quickly wipe out in this place and lose its appearance;
• try not to keep your hands in your pockets, these places, like the edges of the sleeves, are the most vulnerable and quickly become greasy;
• after each exit, the sheepskin coat should be cleaned with a special rubber brush designed for suede or with a special leather cleaner;
• in case of contamination on the suede surface, for example, the appearance of a stain, you must try to remove it as early as possible; to do this, you can use either purchased products for the care of leather and suede, or by folk methods (for example, a dried piece of white bread or very fine sandpaper), or leave it to dry cleaners to deal with dirt;
• if dirt appears on the leather surface, everything is much simpler - it is enough to simply wipe such stains with a damp cloth.

Reviews of sheepskin coats are mostly positive, sometimes reaching enthusiastic, because only coats can compete with sheepskin coats in style and variety of styles, but sheepskin coats are a much more spectacular and even status thing.

The only drawbacks that are noted by almost all owners of sheepskin coats are the difficulties of caring for this outerwear and the inability to put on a favorite item of warm wardrobe in any weather.

Even in our age of completely tolerant fashion, which welcomes the mixing of styles, wearing an elite lynx fur coat with jeans is still not comme il faut, and such outrageousness can only be allowed for celebrities, already famous for the extravagance of both dress and behavior. A sheepskin coat is a much more democratic version of outerwear than a fur coat (although sometimes no less expensive), allowing for more free and relaxed combinations.

One has only to take into account the general compatibility of the styles of the sheepskin coat and the clothes that you are going to wear under it:

• Very short sheepskin jackets are perfectly complemented by skinny jeans and ugg boots, warm sneakers or boots. A voluminous snood scarf will perfectly complement the image.

• A stylish sheepskin coat of a more traditional style goes well with short skirts or knitted dresses; boots-over-the-knee boots with heels or wedges are suitable as shoes. As a headdress for a sheepskin coat, you can wear a beret or throw a stole over your head.

• Long options are acceptable even with evening dresses and stiletto heels.
