Winter is near, and that means it's time to get your coats, sheepskin coats and puffits out of the cabinets. But if there is nothing to get, it does not matter! We will help you choose the warmest, most convenient and practical option for the winter.

What is warmer: down jacket, coat, sheepskin coat or fur coat?

Now the choice is very large in the shops, it is incredibly difficult to decide on a purchase. Consider each option, learn about its pros and cons, pros and cons.

Down jackets are great winter clothes with lots of pluses. They are made of waterfowl fluff, which is an excellent heat insulator, has a porous structure and perfectly retains heat.

The average weight of a product made of down is only 1.5 kg, which, of course, is much less than the weight of an average fur coat.

There are many advantages of down-padded coats. They are very warm, it’s not just that hunters, fishermen and professional travelers choose only them. Also, down jackets are light and comfortable to move, run and work in them.

A quality down jacket “breathes” (that is, a person shouldn’t sweat in it, even with heavy physical exertion), is not blown by the wind and is not afraid of rain, sleet and bad weather. If the down jacket is dirty, it can be washed even at home. The main thing is not to do it very often.

Another advantage of this type of clothing is the low price. In stores, the choice of down jackets is very large - any woman of fashion will find a model for himself to taste. And classic, and sports, and even elegant in the style of the 60s - with a fluffy skirt to the knee.

There is only one minus for down-padded coats - fur coats and sheepskin coats look more representative and status. A person gathering for a business meeting, a fashion show, to visit or to the theater, will rather wear a fur coat, as it looks more effective.

A winter coat is more a myth than a reality. Previously, our mothers and grandmothers wore similar products, but then coats were sewn with insulation and were decorated with fur — natural or artificial.

However, now, unfortunately, the choice of such coats on the market is negligible, and the available options do not reach the level of heat in any way either to a fur coat, or to a feather coat, or to a sheepskin coat.

Nevertheless, a coat is the best option for spring or autumn, but in winter fashionable women should warm better, because even the warmest cashmere coat on a padding polyester and with beautiful fur on a collar can be worn to a maximum of -15 degrees.

Sheepskin coats are clothes that a person with any income can buy. These clothes are sewn both from simple skins and from exquisite ones. Often sheepskin coats are decorated with diamond knurling or rhinestones, decorated with appliqués or embroidery.

If you compare a quality long sheepskin coat with any fur coat, then no one will benefit in terms of heat. But if you put next to a democratic sheepskin length just below the waist and the simplest fur coat from a muton, then it becomes immediately clear which clothes to choose in a cold snowy winter.

It is also worth noting that the skin from which the sheepskin coat is made, is wiped and salted over time. If you ride it in public transport, it will quickly lose its appearance and will look less presentable. Fur in this regard is more practical, and down jackets are easily erased, even at home.

A fur coat, without a doubt, is the most fashionable and stylish piece of clothing, not losing relevance even after years. It is made of different furs - both expensive and more democratic. Dear coats are mink, beaver and black brown fox. More budget - Mouton, astrakhan and mountain goat wool.

A fur coat is a great way to confirm your high status.It’s not just that celebrities appear on the red even more expensively in exquisite furs even in summer. However, these coats are custom-made, and the fur is used by the highest class - royal sable, chinchilla, marten, blue fox.

In addition to the coat, in the wardrobe you need to have a simple down jacket. The main enemies of fur on the street are rain, sleet and anti-icing agents. If the latter hit the fur coat, then it will have to be thoroughly dried and combed, otherwise the expensive thing will just be sent to a landfill.

Having bought a down jacket, you should not forget your beautiful fur coat in the closet - if the fur is not “walking”, then it spoils, turns yellow and starts to smell badly.

Let's sum up:

The fur coat is considered the warmest and most beautiful, but it costs more and is more difficult to care for.

Next on our list - down jacket. It is comfortable, beautiful, there are many models and colors, it is cheaper than a fur coat and extremely easy to clean - just throw it into the washing machine and now it’s like new.

Sheepskin coat loses both in warmth and practicality of the previous versions. Winter coat is suitable for those traveling by car. Walk on the street in it at minus thirty will not work, unfortunately.

Which fur is warmer and more practical?

We already understood that a fur coat in the winter warms perfectly. However, among the fur coats there are both favorites and outsiders.

The first in the list of beaver - a fur coat made from this fur is considered to be socks and very warm. The product will be able to serve twenty or more seasons, but the price of such a fur coat is rather big.

This is followed by a model of chinchilla fur. They are warm, but very light and soft.

The third place belongs to the fox. Fur coats from this fur are very beautiful and will please their hostesses not only with warming properties, but also an exquisite appearance.

The fourth place is taken by the beloved mink. This fur coat is not only beautiful, but also will last a long time - at least ten seasons.

Fifth place - charming fox fur coats, a favorite product of Hollywood stars. Products from arctic fox are beautiful and lush, but less durable. If you need something more practical, then you should prefer the fox with a gray-blue color.

Sixth place is incredibly beautiful, expensive and aristocratic sable. This fur is considered to be the king of all furs. Particularly valuable products from the Barguzin sable.

And last, the seventh place is occupied by an inexpensive muton, which will appeal to those who like to change their outerwear more often.

How to choose a warm and light fur coat?

If you decide that a winter coat should appear in your wardrobe, then you should know how to choose it correctly. First you need to check the density of the fur: you need to dilute the villi to the side, to see if there are any bald spots. A good fur coat is very dense and voluminous. Then run your hand against the coat - hair should not break and stay on the arm, and the quality fur will very quickly restore its shape.

The next step is to check the seams. They must be careful and almost not palpable. If there are no seams, that is, the fur coat is glued, it will rumble and rustle a little when you shake it. This fur coat is not for us. It will not last long and will quickly fall into pieces.

If the fur coat is expensive and you are told that the fur is not dyed, you should not believe the seller immediately. Checking is very simple - just look at the color of the skin. For an unpainted coat, it should be white. Also, do not forget to check the labels and labels. Their absence is an excellent reason to think and purchase.
