Friends who pay attention to the fashion circle must have found that in the past two years, there is a coat in the limelight, and everyone must have one! That's right, this new favorite of the trend is the double-sided coat~
Although it is sought-after, but must be mentioned, the price is not cheap, at every turn it is small thousands, more exquisite may be tens of thousands!
So some people think that the double-sided coat is fried up, and it is not worth the money at all. But Teacher Lu told you: the double-sided coat is worth so expensive!!
Why are double-sided coats so expensive?
1, because its fabric is good
Double-sided tweed fabric is a high-grade double-layer woven fabric originating from Europe and Italy.
It is also made of the highest quality cashmere, wool, rabbit hair and other natural fabrics. The production of cashmere is very small, and the coat made of it is even more rare, so this kind of double-sided coat made of "soft gold of the cloth" is naturally more precious!
The double-sided tweed is delicate and smooth to the touch, but the texture is tight and super elastic. Due to the tight texture, the color of this fabric also looks softer and more shiny.
2, because it has good warmth:
Because the double-sided tweed is woven from two layers of independent fabrics, it is more warm than the single-layer cashmere and wool coats, and even maintain a constant temperature of 37 degrees in the cold winter!
3, because it is light enough:
Even though the double-sided tweed is woven from 2 layers, its texture is particularly soft and light. The lightest and lightest double-sided fabric weighs less than 300 grams per square meter! No wonder it's called a "zero gravity" fabric!
And the reason why it is so light is because the two layers of independent fabrics on both sides are connected by yarn, no glue ~ so when you put on a double-sided coat, it is actually like a layer of feathers, warm but light.
4, because it is very topographious:
The double-sided coat is more flat than other fabric coats and is not prone to wrinkles. The thick feeling also makes the whole coat fit more expanded and will not go out of shape.
5, because it is fashionable enough:
Double-sided tweed coats are generally available in two shapes – slim and cocoon-shaped double-sided coats. Not only can you wear two colors, but you can also wear both front and back. This not only gives designers more inspiration, but also gives us more styling possibilities.
6, because of its complicated process:
The production process of a double-sided coat takes 5 times as long as a normal coat! Because each double-sided coat is sewn by hand, stitch by stitch, it cannot be machine composited.
So, what are the specific steps for a high-quality double-sided coat?
First, the cloth inspection
Put the fabric on the cloth inspection machine, observe the fabric point by point through light, whether there are color differences, holes and other defects, and issue a cloth inspection report. This process is designed to ensure that each piece of fabric is free of any flaws.
2. Tailoring
First use an electric knife to initially cut according to the fit, and then use a gantry knife to make a precise cut. Rough cut and fine cut two processes, so that the shape is more precise, the edge of the clothing is clean and tidy.
3. Inspection and treatment of clothing tablets
Tailored pieces of clothing need to go through three procedures:
Check piece by piece to ensure that there are no defects
Put into the adhesive liner at high temperature to set the shape. The size of the stylized pieces is stable and does not change easily due to the environment
Screen by piece, check and check with the original version to ensure that the version is consistent
Fourth, running line positioning, positioning of the seam, positioning of the adhesive lining
The distance of the seam is confirmed by the positioning line, the depth of the seam is controlled, and the width and narrowness of the artificial seam are consistent.
A professional machine is used to cut the double-sided tweed horizontally to the positioning line, and the nodule yarn connecting the two layers is gently cut.
This is a very delicate step, in the process of cutting and sewing to ensure that the fabric is flat and can not be damaged a little.
All cut fabrics require lining strips to be stitched together, and the double-sided wool fabric is fixed by high temperature pressing. One is to increase the bone feeling, and the other is to increase the support of the tweed, so that the lines of the seam are more smooth and refined.
High-end products basically use imported liners, which is 10 times the price of domestic liners.
5. Hand sewing
Sewing is the most dependent and important part of the hand.
The double-sided sewing adopts a sophisticated stitching method, which hides the stitches and makes the stitching of the finished product very delicate - 11 stitches in 3 cm.
Very dense and flat with uniform pins, equal needle spacing, and uniform force of the thread. The tweed coat that comes out of this way is equally delicate and flat on the front and back. Even experienced seamstresses with many years of sewing experience sew an average of up to 2 days to sew one piece.
Sixth, scalding
After completing the hand-sewn, a semi-finished product is inspected first, and then ironed to present the basic silhouette of the whole dress, making the fabric more flat and exquisite, which is conducive to the precise positioning of the next accessory process.
7. Garment inspection products
After the completion of all the processes of garment making, the garment will be inspected by a professional and meticulous person again. After passing the inspection of ready-to-wear, you can deliver it~ ~
Look, it is this complicated and exquisite process that determines that each double-sided coat is unique. However, isn't it more satisfying to have a pure wool coat hand-sewn with the heart and temperature of a craftsman than to buy a luxury brand?
How to maintain a double-sided coat?
Seeing this, Teacher Lu felt that most people would start to sigh at the double-sided coat on their bodies! So since the double-sided coat is so expensive, we can't wear it badly, and daily maintenance must be paid attention to:
1. Wash.
Can not be washed, water wash is easy to shed hair, shrinkage and deformation. It is recommended that it is best to dry clean.
If there is no condition for frequent dry cleaning, you can clean up according to this method:
Lay the double-sided tweed coat flat on the table, prepare a thicker towel, soak the towel in water and twist it until it is semi-dry, and place it on the double-sided tweed coat.
Elastic pats with hands or sticks are used to suck the dirt inside the double-sided coat onto the towel, and then the towel is washed, and this can be repeated several times. For example, if the double-sided tweed coat has creases, it can be ironed smoothly and hung in a ventilated place to dry.
2. Remove wrinkles:
Tweed clothing is given enough humidity to level the folds on the clothing.
The steam iron can be adjusted to a low temperature and ironed at a distance of 1 to 2 cm from the wool coat; the towel can also be covered on the clothes and then ironed, so that it will not hurt the fabric fibers and will not leave ironing marks.
3, keep dry, insect moth prevention:
The clothes worn, which may absorb sweat stains on the body, should be dried in the shade in a well-ventilated place before being put away. If it is placed in the cabinet, it is recommended to put some desiccant to keep it dry and effectively avoid insect moths.
