Finnish women's clothing

Since the times of the USSR for the Russian people, Finnish clothing has always been associated with a quality mark. Getting a Finnish down jacket was not easy, they were expensive - like good natural coats. Nowadays, there is no problem in acquiring a Finnish jacket or down jacket, but the demand for them is still very high.

The secret of the popularity of women's clothing from Finland lies in several factors:

• This country has a similar climate with Russia, and the winters are equally harsh. Therefore, for sewing down-padded coats, only the best heaters and high-quality, wear-resistant materials that can withstand temperatures below -30C are used there.
• Finnish outerwear is not only very warm, but is also very environmentally friendly. This is subject to the laws of the country - production that is harmful to the environment is prohibited in Finland.
• This clothing is easy to care for. It is lightweight, durable, and, due to the special processing of materials, has excellent dirt and water repellency.
• Finnish down-padded coats are not from the cheap price segment, however the prices for them are quite justified by their quality, besides, manufacturers often arrange pre-holiday and seasonal sales.

All this gives Finnish manufacturers great advantages over their competitors - Italian, Turkish, Canadian and Chinese, and allows them to maintain a significant place on the Russian market of outerwear.

There is always an equal sign between Finnish clothing for women, winter or demi-season, and high quality.

When choosing a product from a manufacturer from this country, pay attention to how the seams are made. They are not only carefully stitched, but also glued with a special compound that contributes to the water-repellent properties of the fabric.

Even with many protective features, Finnish winter clothing remains very light. It can be voluminous, but at the same time it does not hinder movement at all, fold up to quite compact dimensions and not wrinkle. It is distinguished by its strength, durability and excellent appearance.

For their products, Finnish manufacturers select the highest quality, hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly materials.

In the production of knitwear use only 100% natural cotton, flax or wool, which makes the fabric very hygroscopic and pleasant to the skin. In the production of outerwear, cotton, polyester and polyamide are used both in pure form and in various percentages that determine the properties of the fabric.

Despite the water-repellent impregnation, the fabric from which most Finnish down jackets are made does not create a “greenhouse effect” and allows the skin to breathe. The whole secret is in a special technology that has been developing rapidly in recent years. It lies in the fact that when the polytetrafluoroethylene film is applied to the surface of the fabric, a special type of membrane is formed. Membrane tissue acquires the ability to release internal evaporation, at the same time completely without letting in external moisture.

Currently, there are many varieties of membranes - besporovye, pore and combined. Each manufacturer seeks to declare the improved properties of their fabrics. But when choosing a membrane jacket, down jacket or overalls, you should pay attention to the insulation - it must be natural. With synthetic insulation, the membrane loses its “magic” properties and turns into a “greenhouse film”.

Finnish manufacturers of outerwear as a heater use mainly natural or artificial down. The down of arctic birds possesses remarkable heat-saving and hygroscopic properties.It does not fall down and the thing keeps its shape for a long time, but at the same time it is difficult to wash it at home. It is better to dry-dry the products on the natural fluff, moreover, the fluff can cause an allergic reaction.

Unlike natural, artificial down is hypoallergenic. From its predecessor of the padding polyester, it is favorably distinguished by lightness, increased heat capacity and environmental friendliness. Things on artificial down can be washed at home.

In the performance characteristics of modern insulation izosoft not inferior to fluff. Recently, many Finnish brands are actively turning to it in their production. The thin fibers of isosoft, forming balls, perfectly retain heat without interfering with the evaporation of moisture. With a large number of layers, jackets on the isosofte can withstand frost down to -25C.

The size range of outerwear of Finnish production has its own characteristics. When choosing a jacket or down jacket for adults, you should know that the difference with Russian sizes is 6-7 positions, i.e. our size 48 accounts for 40-42, depending on the style and manufacturer. Therefore, before making a purchase in the online store, it is better to consult with the seller or read reviews about this brand.

Like most domestic and European brands, the Finns sew outerwear up to the size of 54-56 (50 per tag). But there are individual companies that focus on the production of stylish and high-quality clothing of large sizes.

Children's things differ, as a rule, by their large size. With the specified size of 80cm, the thing can fit on a child 86-90cm. In general, children's Finnish clothing is designed for large and strong children.

Often on the tags there are letter indices denoting physique:

B - thin;

B1 - thin and tall;

C - normal;

OS - low, normal;

OD - full;

E - full and low.

Russian women have long appreciated many types of Finnish-made clothing. First of all it is, of course, down jackets. They are represented by a wide variety of models - short and elongated, sporty, with original prints and a wide variety of colors. Such down jackets are always an excellent choice for those who are not indifferent to fashion.

Choose a down jacket should be based not only on your style preferences - a long one for lovers of the classics, shortened with a sports lifestyle, but also from the climatic conditions in which you live. Remember that no matter how warm the winter in your region is, you need to choose a model under which you can easily wear warm clothes - thick pants and a bulky sweater.

Demi-season clothing from Finland is designed for temperatures from +5 to -8С, which quite coincides with the weather in the off-season in most regions of Russia. It is lighter and thinner than winter models, and as a rule, a synthetic winterizer is used as a heater. Collections of jackets and raincoats are very diverse, and meet all the requirements of style and quality.
