A leather coat is one of those garments that you want in every wardrobe. Because, due to its properties, it will warm you up in a rainy autumn and cold winter. Because, thanks to its appearance, it will remain fashionable and stylish at all times. Because it fits without exception to all women and fits perfectly with other clothes.

Models and varieties of leather coats there are so many. One of the most popular are the models made in the English style. It is characterized by a straight, concise cut, strict lines, straight shoulders, English collar. Such models are more like a strict, elegant long jacket.

Another popular model is a loose-fitting coat with sleeves ¾ and a voluminous hood collar. Flared swinger-type models have been out of fashion for several years now. This is one of the most feminine and beautiful coat models. As a rule, all listed models have a shortened or medium length.

Among the long models, there is a redingot - a fitted coat that looks very much like an elongated jacket, a wrap coat, a double-breasted coat with a detachable hood collar, etc.

Trench coat type is a classic version. It is universally suitable for women of different body types and goes well with any clothes from the wardrobe.

Leather coat is most often used as a demi-season option. But there are also warmed models, for example, on a synthetic winterizer with a fur collar or a hood. In severe frosts, you can not do without a quilted coat with natural down as a heater. Such a coat has high thermal insulation properties, while it is very light and fits perfectly on the figure.

Combined

Leather is used not only as an independent material, but also often combined with other fabrics. For example, this season is very popular knitted coat with leather inserts. It can be leather sleeves, pocket decoration, inserts on the back or the front.

Contrast-colored materials look beautiful, but you can use knitted fabric and leather of the same color.

Another option: leather + fur. A great combination to create a stylish and trendy winter coat. Natural fur is commonly used as fur: silver fox, arctic fox, mink, sable, raccoon, etc. But there are more affordable, but no less interesting and original models using colored faux fur.

A great option for a warm fall or spring is a coat made in a combination of leather and fine suede or denim. It looks interesting and pure leather coat, made of leather fragments of different colors or textures.

Length

Long coat is important at any time. It will perfectly protect from wind and cold, it is perfectly combined with dresses and trousers, such a coat is very practical. But this season, designers recommend turning their attention to models of medium length or short. These coats look great with narrow dark jeans or classic trousers.Ankle boots or high boots are suitable as shoes. Shortened models - the perfect solution for avtoledi.

Skin types

Leather is the common name for a material that is used for sewing demi-season or winter coats. There are several types of leather, some of which are mainly used to create clothing. Most often, it is calfskin. It is very soft, warm, keeps its shape perfectly, therefore it is suitable for creating coats of complex styles.

Goat skin is used less frequently. Due to its subtlety, it is ideal for creating expensive, exclusive women's coat models. Pigskin for sewing a coat is not used. It is very porous and does not stretch well.

But not everyone prefers natural materials. In such cases, we can recommend clothing from eco-leather - an artificial substitute, which externally and according to its characteristics is practically not inferior to natural material.

Some models of coats are made in a combination of different types of leather, for example, calf and deer, goat or horse. The more exotic the skin, the more expensive the model. Such coats come in the category of exclusive and elite models.

To create a winter coat, insulated lining is used. Most often, it is a synthetic winterizer. It is lightweight, porous, keeps warm well and does not make the coat bulky.

One of the most beautiful and elegant varieties of leather coats are models made of patent leather. Smooth leather is covered with a special film that provides the finished material with a glossy, mirror shine. Sometimes the finished product is covered with gold, silver or metal powder to obtain a particularly bright and unusual coating.

Soft and velvety suede is ideal for sewing thin, light demi-season coats. This is a very durable and warm material, perfectly keeps its shape, looks beautiful, has high strength.
