Use - Coat fabric
Coat fabric immediately looks high-quality because you can see and feel the texture and volume. Many designers rely on it when a look should have presence and provide warmth. From soft to boldly textured, you'll find strong qualities here. (More...)
Coat fabrics are usually medium to heavy materials, often wool-based or wool blends. Compact qualities offer a lot of structure and look crisp, while textured variants like bouclé or tweed add surface depth. Depending on the material mix, the fabric may drape more softly or feel deliberately firm; some qualities appear melange, others very smooth. Weight and density determine whether the coat is suitable for transitional weather or colder days.
Typical types of fabric:
• Virgin wool, wool blends
• Bouclé, tweed
• Felted-look qualities
• Heavyweight flannel
• Blends with a cashmere content
Important properties:
Coat fabrics are warming, shape-retaining, and often very durable. High-quality varieties have good resilience and keep their surface longer, even with frequent wear. Structured fabrics give volume and make the look more distinctive; smooth qualities appear especially clean and elegant. Density and weight also influence how windproof and compact the fabric is.
Care instructions:
Air out and gently brush coat fabrics to protect the surface. For wool qualities, dry cleaning is usually best; frequent washing can change the texture. Iron with steam and not too hot to avoid shiny spots and flattening the surface. Treat stains as quickly and locally as possible and avoid vigorous rubbing.
