 HELPFUL HINTS ON SHOPPING FOR A WINTER COAT
Does the collar sit right? In low-quality coats, the collar is a place where the manufacturer may skimp on material. If the coat you've chosen has buttons, would it be possible to move/ replace them, if necessary? Try on over a sweater or blazer. The coat should leave enough room to fit over chunky sweaters and suit jackets. Also, if you cross your arms in front, there shouldn't be any pull around the shoulders of the jacket. Make sure that you buy a coat with lining. This not only helps the coat keep its shape and last longer, but it also provides you with extra warmth. Make sure that the stitching is reinforced, especially around the shoulders- and that there are no loose threads. The sleeves of your new coat should be long enough to cover your jacket sleeves by 1/2 an inch. Consider length. A coat that falls from mid-thigh to the knees is the most versatile, However, a shorter jacket that falls above the hip bones enlongates your legs. Think fabric- A synthetic fabric will look great for one or two winters, but won't hold its shape any longer than that. Instead, try a wool or cashmere blend coat, both of which have a much longer staying power. You know what type of materials and styles make you feel the best. Make sure the coat you choose is a color, style and fit that will suit you and your needs not only for this season, but in the future as well. | Keep Whites, White! | Storing Winter Clothes | Leather Care | Buying Winter Coat | Best Hangers | Label Information | Facts about Goose Down | Moth Damage | Cashmere | Layering For Cold Weather | | Return Home | Our Services | FAQ Page | Contact Us | How Do I? | |
