More and more often, buyers when choosing winter outerwear give their sympathy not to fur coats and sheepskin coats, but to light jackets or a coat filled with fluff. Manufacturers, noting this increased interest, try to pamper their potential customers with new stylish styles every season. Recently, many brands have released new luxury models - leather down jackets. Reviews about them are more than enthusiastic.
Elegance and prestige
You may ask, but why was it necessary to change the usual top textiles to genuine leather? Moreover, such a replacement greatly affects the value of the thing, which does not become cheaper at all. On the contrary, the price is skyrocketing.
But all doubts disappear, you only need to see luxurious and elegant down jackets. Leather male models look prestigious, emphasizing the status of the owner. Extra long jackets can be safely worn over a classic business suit and not look ridiculous at the same time. The length does not allow the floors of the jacket to look out, thinly dressed soft leather demonstrates financial viability and taste. At the same time, you will not freeze even at the most severe freezing temperatures.
The combination of luxury and warmth is distinguished by women's leather down jackets. Reviews of charming hostesses of fashionable new things agree on one thing - new models are surprisingly light, stylish and warm perfectly. In addition, the leather upper is much more practical. It does not crumple and is practically not overwritten, it is not blown. And with appropriate impregnation, even falling under wet snow mixed with rain is not scary.
We put the pros
Manufacturers promise that their products will last you at least 10 seasons. Such an amazing duration of "life" is due to the strength of the material. Now a little about the other pluses that leather down jackets have. Reviews talk about their good thermal insulation properties, softness. The skin does not freeze in frost, does not rustle, does not crack. Any dirt can be easily removed from its surface with a damp cloth. Of course, this material absorbs moisture very quickly. But modern industry produces many protective aerosols, which quickly eliminate this minus.
Leather
down jackets with fur not only look chic, they also add comfort. In winter, the presence of a deep hood trimmed with a fox or raccoon does not hurt. And in principle, in the cold season, we are pleased to touch such a warm material as fur.
Right choice
But all of the above applies only to high-quality products made of genuine leather. Artificial analogues are unlikely to withstand a temperature drop below 10 or 15 degrees. Synthetics do not breathe, wear out quickly.
Pay attention to the filler. It is better if it will be fluff, and not its substitutes, with which leather down jackets are sometimes quilted. Reviews about them are not always positive. Given the high cost of products, it is better to play it safe and carefully study the lines, to test the down packs, check the fittings and lining. In branded products negligence is not allowed even in small things. No crooked lines with fluff peeking out from under the threads. No cheap lining fabric or zipper jamming.
