In the women's wardrobe, sheepskin coat pilot appeared recently, migrated there directly from the cockpits of aircraft. Initially, this type of clothing was created for US pilots who needed a warm, light and comfortable top jacket that could withstand temperature extremes.
What is a pilot coat?
This is a short jacket with a zipper, which can be closed with a button closure. As a rule, the pilot sheepskin coat has a large turn-down collar, which is fastened to the top, securely covering the neck and lower part of the face. There are few embellishments on such a sheepskin coat - these are patch pockets and fur, which can be seen on the cuffs.
Length
A simple cut and laconic color (most often “pilots” are black or brown) allow young ladies to wear this jacket “in the feast and in the world”, while remaining stylish, but at the same time feeling comfortable.
Models
Designers have put a lot of imagination, working on a variety of models of sheepskin pilots. Today they are presented both in a classic, slightly rough version of thick leather, and practically in weightless combinations with various types of fur. Thinly dressed sheepskin coats will fit in the offseason, when you do not want to make the image heavier, more “impressive” models for the winter will warm up just as well as a fur coat.
Different "pilots" and cut.
The traditional are absolutely straight models, which can have utilitarian decorations in the form of slashes along the hem, which can be tightened.
But there are also fitted sheepskin coats, and even variations of the “pilot” with an A-shaped cut, where the bottom of the product is significantly wider than in the shoulder line.
Despite the fact that initially the "pilot" does not imply a hood, designers use it everywhere. It is easy to find models that are decorated with a fluffy voluminous hood. Sometimes, as a tribute to history, it is even adorned with flying glasses sewn over the top.
Sheepskin pilots - favorite clothes for cold weather for avtoledi. Barshashniks are happy to choose this type of outerwear, as it is resistant to wiping on the seat, and its length allows you to steer with comfort or enjoy the ride in the passenger seat. The length of the "pilot" in the classic version can vary from ultrashort - to the navel, to elongated - to the middle of the thigh.
The canonical is the length to the trouser belt. So the back is covered from drafts and cold, but at the same time the legs do not constrain the floor of the jacket. Of course, designers have found a way to circumvent the classic length of a sheepskin coat. There are long sheepskin coats, the zipper on which is sewn only up to the waist. That is, the jacket clasps as short, and the floors remain free.
Material and color
Most often in the shops you can find coats of the model “pilot” in a calm low-key range: black, dark gray or blue, khaki or brown. There are deviations in the direction of light shades - beige, coffee with milk, sand. It is rare to meet the "pilots" of bright color.
As a material for this outerwear, thick sheepskin is usually chosen, which is excellently worn for many seasons without losing appearance. Often there are options with dark skin and light, even white fur.
What to wear?
Sheepskin pilot great fit into everyday wardrobe, as it is versatile in combination with other things. The ideal option is high boots or boots with rough soles, skinny jeans and a sweater. In cold weather, you can wear a very warm jacket under a sheepskin coat, tie a voluminous snood around your neck, and dark uggs on your legs. Cozy and comfortable image!
Remarkably, the “pilot” looks with skirts and dresses of any length.For every day - with soft knit, knit, cashmere or wool. With a coarse jacket skirts "in the floor" in the boho-style look good.
Lovers of contrasts will appreciate how the “pilot” is transformed if you put on a light lace or silk dress. Tight dark tights and ankle boots with a steady heel will complete the look. Please note that the "pilot" does not fit a thin heel-hairpin, it will look ridiculous.
Bright monophonic dresses or dresses with an active pattern are also good in combination with a pilot sheepskin coat. Emerald, scarlet, ultramarine dresses, skirts with a print "under the leopard" or ethnic prints will become the center of the image, beautifully shaded by leather clothing.
