Camel hair coats are made from the hair of Bactrian camels and can be made with or without wool. They are versatile and can be dressed up or down. The coats come in neutral colors and are made without killing the camel. The hair is collected through shedding or cutting and is separated into coarse and fine varieties before being spun into cloth.
A camel hair coat is an outer garment made from the hair of the double-humped Bactrian camel. Coats may be made of camel hair only, or they may also have wool added to them. Sporty camel hair coats for men and longer coats for women are classic fashion looks.
A camel hair coat of any kind looks equally perfect with jeans or dressy evening wear. These also make great office coats and exemplify the popular business casual style. A classic and polished look for men is to layer a camel hair sport coat over wool slacks, a button down shirt and a wool sweater. Women can look glamorous like movie stars in a long camel coat with a chic silk scarf.
If you want a natural fiber coat that you can wear anywhere, a camel hair coat is the ideal choice. Most of these coats do not have many details and only have pockets and buttons on the front. Some versions have belts and some camel hair coats have hidden inside pockets. The collars are usually notched or rounded, while the sleeves can be fitted or raglan, which is a one-piece sleeve.
Camel hair coats are available in many neutral colors. They are not usually dyed, but are the natural colors of camels’ hair, ranging from light brown, reddish to black. Golden tan is the classic color for a camel hair coat, but there are shades to complement everyone’s skin tone.
Like sheep’s wool, it is not necessary to kill the camel to get its hair. Camels shed, or shed, each spring. Each camel sheds about 5 pounds (2,268 kg) of hair each spring, and this shedding, or molt, takes a few months to complete. The hair can also be removed from the camel by cutting it off. Once removed and/or collected, camel hair is separated into coarse and fine varieties and cleaned before being spun for weaving or weaving into cloth.
The softest camel hair comes from the belly area of the camel, while the hair on the rest of the camel is quite thick. Wool mixed with camel hair makes a much softer fabric than pure camel hair. Woven or woven camel hair, with or without added wool, is used to make camel hair coats.
