Materials (edit)
Men's jumpers are presented in a wide range. Models of different cuts and colors are produced under various brands. An important criterion for choosing the best jumper is the material of its manufacture. Consider what these stylish and cozy clothes for men are made of.
Wool
One of the most demanded materials with excellent warming properties. Woolen items are insanely popular. They are soft and cozy, very comfortable in cold weather. Wool is breathable and absorbs moisture. This material is different. Raw materials are used in production:
- alpacas;
- camel's wool;
- cashmere;
- mohair.
A high quality woolen jumper for men is not cheap. Such things lose their original beauty quickly, especially if it is wrong to wash them. That is why cashmere and any other woolen models are recommended to be washed only by hand, and even better to resort to dry cleaning.
Knitwear, synthetics
Longer service life can boast of men's things made from knitted fabrics, wool, combined with synthetics (acrylic, viscose, microfiber, polyester and fleece materials). The optimal ratio of natural raw materials and synthetics is 50/50. If there is less wool in the composition, the thing will warm you much weaker.
Cotton
Modern cotton garments are characterized by beautiful and neat designs. They are distinguished by a high level of breathability and low maintenance requirements. True, cotton jumpers quickly wrinkle along the way. If you wash such things without observing all the rules, they inevitably lose their shape - they stretch or shrink. But the main disadvantage of cotton is that it warms at times weaker than wool, so a model made of this material cannot protect against severe frosts.
This kind of thing is more of a summer thing.
Silk
Truly gorgeous material. It is characterized by an expensive texture. True, silk options are rare and very expensive. Silk products with short sleeves look especially elegant and fashionable. Such a thing cannot be ignored.
Jersey
In search of the most practical and undemanding products, consumers often stop at knitted jumpers. If you provide the specified thing with proper care, it will certainly last a very long time, will not undergo deformation during washing, and will not lose its original original attractiveness.
