Military Coat

Military style, implying a military direction in clothing, originated in the 20th century. Then a simple military uniform was worn by civilians and supplemented with world patches and holes to express their disagreement with military actions.

This direction also had a practical meaning - during the First World War, the lion’s share of the textile industry was uniforms for soldiers, and money was needed to create clothing for civilians. So, wearing a military uniform, people also saved public funds, but over time, notes of military style began to be seen in the peaceful attire of the inhabitants. This season, women's coats, created in military style, have gained immense popularity.

Clothing in military style is distinguished by rigor, restraint and elegance of cut. Straight lines, a minimum of decor, thoughtful practicality and convenience of styles, conciseness of shades - that is what distinguishes the garb of military style.

Military style can not be confused with one another, because the density of fabrics and thematic stripes always speak for themselves. Often, military notes can be reminded by a world-famous khaki pattern or its shade.

Epaulettes, large sewn pockets with flaps on buttons or buckles, belts in the form of coarse twine or wide leather with a massive buckle - another distinctive feature of the military.
