What are the advantages when wearing a fabric blended with 90% wool and 10% cashmere?
When looking at the blend ratio label of a winter coat, it is sometimes hard to gauge how a fabric containing 10% cashmere differs from a pure wool coat.
The blend ratio of 90% wool and 10% cashmere used in the outer fabric is a composition that adds cashmere's characteristic soft touch and lightweight warmth to the solid resilience of wool[1].
Looking at the numbers first, the outer fabric of ALLENO's cashmere signature coat is woven with 90% wool and 10% cashmere[2].
Let's delve deeply only into the fabric story. Generally, wool serves as a sturdy framework that maintains the shape of the garment straight and blocks cold winds. When cashmere is added to this, the stiffness of the fiber surface is reduced, making the touch soft, and the power to hold air between fibers increases, enhancing warmth relative to weight.
There are also advantages in terms of actual wearing and care. While an excessively high proportion of cashmere is vulnerable to friction, making the garment's appearance easily disheveled, a blended fabric firmly supported by wool reduces shape deformation, making it good to wear comfortably as everyday winter attire.
The specific type or blend ratio of the material used in the lining has not yet been confirmed.
