The cold is the friend of the elegant man,\nwinter is his favorite season: it allows him to express at best his\ntastes, to highlight his choices and even to take some risks\nalways contained.<\/h3>\n\n

Before being the first business card of\nthe outfit must first protect its owner from the vagaries of the weather: cold\nrain or snow. Good news: the cold is man’s friend\nelegant, and winter his favorite season: it allows him to express at the\nhis tastes, to highlight his choices and even to take a few minutes to\nrisks always contained. This season also allows for a rest\nwell-deserved to the suits and summer outfits, tortured by the sun and the sweat.<\/p>\n\n

In the age of widespread air conditioning,\nthe heavy wools that once constituted the entirety of the men’s wardrobe\nwere gradually abandoned. The frantic race of the clothiers to whom\nwill be able to weave the finest woolly fibre: the preference\nof light wools is clear, so that most of the costumes\nmanufactured today are “four-season”. If the interest of these\nThe use of fabrics is undeniable, since they allow a quasi-annual wearing of the suit,\nhowever, they deprive the elegant man of the authentic pleasure of finding his\nwinter suits and jackets, with warmer tones and a softer feel. <\/p>\n\n

Winter wools by nature heavier\nhave a more structured fall. They will mask some of our flaws, where the\nfine wool will only underline them. A higher weight is also a\nguarantee of longevity: more resistant, the thick fabric will be less subject to\npolishing and removal. Let’s think about the tweeds that accompany the elegant all\nthroughout their lives, provided that a good tailor is able to alter the\nclothing according to their morphological evolutions. These tweeds also make\nthe most beautiful hunting jackets.<\/p>\n\n

Whether it is a suit for use\nor a more casual, mismatched outfit, the cold weather allows\nmore audacious mixtures of materials and patterns. To the gloom of the time, we\nlet’s answer boldness, discovery and light of winter fabrics! Beforehand,\nand to counter the climate argument, despite the heat in the\nplaces, the use of a winter fabric is an answer to the wearing of a down jacket\nunder the jacket (which alters the fit of a jacket and is a nonsense in\na quality wardrobe), and to some extent makes it possible to\nthe economy of a heavy coat outside. Of course, leaving your home\nwith your new suit, the lining on the inside allows you to wear your suit without\nproblem of taking the rain. The heavier fabric will make you look less like\na crumpled and wet dog than for any other fabric.<\/p>\n\n

Winter fabrics are divided into two\ncategories, corresponding to their use in town or country. They present\na large but limited number of materials and multiple designs. “Head\nof the winter fabric, for the city as well as the country, the\nflannelle is a must. Depending on whether she is Italian or British,\nthe weight differs from 280 to 450 \/ 500 grams. Originally a summer fabric,\nit became iconic in its navy blue version with chalk stripes, worn\nby the Duke of Windsor and Gordon Geccko \/ Michael Douglas in the film Wall\nStreet. There is no error of taste in the choice of this material\nresistant, timeless and perfectly matches the philosophy of a\nheritage costume and the manifestation of a power. In the same way,\nthe Prince of Wales pattern and its multiple variations offer the pleasure\nto consider for the most greedy a collection which can be a marker\nof your professional image!<\/p>\n\n

We found that the choice of\nflannelle is a real amateur choice. The new converts, in their\nitinerary of elegance and discovery of the latter may prefer a\nin-between: the wool\/cashmere blend at a proportion generally\ncommon of 90 \/ 10. Designs can be inspired by flannel (especially\nchalk stripes), while having a weight close to the\n“Half-season” (260 \/ 280 grams). The touch is silky, more\nsoft as flannel. We are in the pleasure suit with materials\nnobles.<\/p>\n\n

Another rare material, cashmere is the\n(about 18,000 tons per year). The democratization\nof a certain type of cashmere, by the use of short fibers and the\ngoat’s cashmere fluff that remains after combing the long fibres of\nThe existence of first quality cashmere does not discredit the existence of high quality cashmere.\nPrecisely from the long fibers of the goat, which produces 100 to 150 grams\nper year, the processing by spinners and weavers in 2 or 3 threads makes the\ncashmere of certain drapers a very exclusive product, which can even be\nused for a complete costume!<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

The camelids have a wool\nseasonally abundant with species providing tissue quality\nincomparable. Among them, let’s mention the camel hair, in particular that of the\ncamel of Bactria (Central Asia), the Andean alpaca, which is distinguished by its\ndomestic character of the vicu\u00f1a living only in the wild. Thus, the\nvigogne is sheared three times a year, resulting in a harvest of 21\ntons of wool. That is more than 2,500 times less than the production of\ncashmere!<\/p>\n\n

One way to compensate for the extreme scarcity of certain materials is to assemble them: for example, wool \/ vicu\u00f1a mixtures can be used to make suits, as well as cashmere \/ wool, cashmere \/ vicu\u00f1a mixtures, etc. In short, as for the gastronomy, your elegance, during the cold season can satisfy your greed of beautiful fabrics and pretty pieces!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
