Bologna coat
Bologna - raincoat fabric with a one-sided waterproof coating, made from nylon or polyamide fibers. For the first time this material was obtained in the small Italian town of Bologna, from where it borrowed its name.
Bologna by its properties is light, crease-resistant, resistant to fungal attack and mold, smooth to the touch, thin and durable.
Advantages and disadvantages
Bologna acquires its basic water-repellent and airtight qualities after treatment with special chemical solutions. Such material effectively protects against precipitation in wet weather.
But Bologna's inability to let air through can create a greenhouse effect when worn. Moreover, in hot weather, in the light of sunlight, the tissue begins to deteriorate. Low temperature intolerance is also a disadvantage of Bologna.
Models
The bologna coat appeared in the middle of the last century. Initially, it was produced without lining and served only in rather warm weather. A modern coat from Bologna, thanks to the presence of a sintepon lining, perfectly retains heat.
There are a great many options for models of such a coat: it can be both laconic classic things in dark shades, and unusual styles of bright colors with a lot of original details.
The only thing worth remembering is that the Bologna coat, due to its low air permeability, is not intended for winter sports, it is better to pay attention to modern membrane products.
The quilted bologna coat is very popular. This is the same casual that does not pretend to be classics and is great for ladies who want to feel comfortable even in outerwear.A bolognese coat with a belt or a fitted style of the product will help to emphasize the waist.
A collarless bologna coat allows you to showcase a thin girlish neck, besides, it can be complemented with fashionable scarves. A cropped sleeveless coat, which is customary to wear on your favorite cozy pullover, is gaining more and more fans among the fair sex.
For colder weather, an insulated bologna coat with a hood is perfect. The hood can be decorated with both natural and artificial fur.
Among young people, a bologna coat, constructed from materials of various colors and textures, has recently become widespread. Sleeves, pockets and hoods are decorated with contrasting details. The combination of Bologna with leather, suede, wool and fur looks especially impressive.
Length
The length of Bologna products can be very different - from long, below the ankle to mini-coats. Long Bologna coats are extremely warm, you can wear any clothes under them, but they are not very practical, especially in light versions.
For an active life, models of medium length are more suitable - above the knees or covering the hips. A short bologna coat is appreciated more by young girls who have something to show.
Colour
Initially, the color of Bologna did not shine with a variety of shades, but the modern textile industry offers us quite bright colors. Both the calm classic tones of a bolognese coat (all shades of beige and brown, dark blue, dim green) and a rich colorful palette (hot pink, orange, yellow, lime, turquoise) are in fashion.
You should not neglect a black coat, it has always been a sign of good taste, moreover, it is capable of "slimming" and white - no other color will create such a clear halo of mystery and nobility around you.
Fashion trends
The favorite of the upcoming season will be a loose-fitting bolognese coat with a voluminous hood and wide sleeves.
The so-called "oversized" style, which is used by the most famous fashion houses with might and main, is unusually comfortable, it is able to emphasize the femininity and fragility of its owners, and, if necessary, disguise the existing figure flaws.
Another fashion trend is the three-quarter sleeve. If your bolognese coat has a full length sleeve, don't be upset - a slightly tucked up sleeve is what you need. We roll up the edge of the cuff and smoothen the sleeve up, artificially creating a three-quarter length.
How to care?
You can take care of Bologna products at home. A dusty coat can simply be wiped off with a damp cloth. It can be washed if necessary. This is done at a water temperature of 30-40 degrees using a gentle liquid detergent.
To freshen up the colors, you can add a little vinegar to the water. Bologna should not be rubbed with hard brushes. At the end of rinsing, let the water drain off, and without wringing, hang the coat on a hanger. Dry at room temperature, away from heating appliances and out of direct sunlight.
You can iron with a slightly heated iron from the front side.
If you need to sew a button to a bologna coat, then this must be done carefully, with the obligatory use of a piece of lining fabric or a purl button.
