Leather and wool – naturally fashionable materials

In an era when synthetic clothes such as polyester, viscose or polyamide are used for sewing clothes on a wide scale, products made using leather and wool are coming back in favor. Leather is a primary and unique material, but these are not its only advantages. This type of raw material is:

• resistant
• flexible
• soft to the touch
• breathable

Wool is a natural material. Most often you can come into contact with sheep’s wool, but you can also find wool made of alpacas, rabbits and llamas. Everything that is made of wool, men’s gloves, scarves and hats, is distinguished by its exceptional durability and aesthetics. If we care for the woolen product, then we can be sure that it will serve us for a really long time.

Leather and wool gloves – yes or no?

If you value high quality and durability, then you will definitely give up products made from synthetic fabrics. In addition to the fact that they are usually not as durable, they also do not guarantee adequate protection against the cold. On the other hand, gloves made using leather and wool not only effectively protect hands from frost, but also have adequate air permeability.

When thinking about whether to choose leather or leather-wool gloves, the choice should depend mainly on the preferred style. Accessories made of smooth leather will be more elegant, which is why they are perfect for all kinds of business sets.

However, if you are a supporter of the casual style, then gloves combining wool and leather will certainly be a great choice. An interesting proposition may be napoWOOL from napo gloves, which, in addition to being designed and sewn according to the latest trends, is characterized by innovative touchscreen technology, thanks to which it’s adapted to touchscreens. napoWOOL allow free use of not only a smartphone, tablet and car navigation, but also an ATM and a ticket machine.

The use of high quality lambskin and numerous perforations on both sides mean that this type of product provides effective protection against cold even in cold weather conditions.

What to wear with gloves made of leather and wool?

Reaching for an accessory of high quality materials, you can be sure that it will not only be durable, but also perfectly suit everyday use. Both women’s and men’s leather and wool gloves can be an ideal choice for stylish coats, as well as for jackets in a more elegant version. They are great not only for work, but also for a walk, college or shopping. If you reach for the model in a black, timeless color, then you will certainly easily adapt it to most combinations.
In order not to commit a fashionable faux-pas, remember that you should not wear gloves that are a combination of leather and wool with business blazers. This is one of the few outfits that this type of add-on simply doesn’t fit in the world.

It all began in ancient times

Did you know that gloves were very popular in ancient times? The inhabitants of Egypt put them on to not to get their hands dirty with food, while the Persians used them primarily to protect their hands from injuries caused by horse harnesses.

Gloves became even more popular in the Middle Ages. Initially, they were used mainly by representatives of the Catholic church, but over time they became an fashionable addition to both women’s and men’s clothes. France has been at the forefront for a long time in the production of this type of products. This was until the French artisans decided to share the secret of their production with the rest of Europe.

Leather gloves have been an element of clothing since the 19th century. Interestingly, in the forties and fifties of the last century, this supplement was so fashionable that every lady had to have at least five pairs of gloves for different occasions. In winter, mainly sheepskin, calf and deer gloves were worn, while in the warmer seasons products of satin, silk and lace were more popular. Accessories decorated with embroideries and pleats were also very fashionable. It should be emphasized that at that time they were dressed not only in winter, but throughout the whole year. In the winter months, they effectively protected the hands from frost, and in the summer they avoided excessive exposition to sunlight.

What types of gloves do we have today?

What is elegance?

Let’s start with what elegance is. As Coco Chanel herself said – fashion passes by, style remains. This is the determinant of elegant gloves. They are always in good taste, regardless of current trends. Thanks to this, you can even match them to ordinary combinations. However, elegance means not only the right look, but also good quality. Therefore, the most sophisticated leather gloves are made of high quality materials. Details such as the type of thread used or the right hem are also important. This way of crafting gloves is a guarantee of their durability.

Elegance, rock and leather gloves

The sets created with leather gloves can be different, some only for everyday use, others also for more festive occasions. Leather jackets, heels, winter gloves made of leather – sounds like a perfect combination that will be great both for going out with friends and for an elegant dinner. Heavy shoes add destroyed jeans, a white shirt and a jacket – just match the leather winter accessory with this combination, and the whole style immediately looks more elegant.

Gloves in an evening version

What about gloves that are not taken off even after removing the jacket? Such long, shoulder-length gloves are an extremely original addition to evening dresses.

They fit perfectly with dresses of different types. It is very important that the gloves are color-matching the other clothes.

Maybe… boho style?

The boho style is associated as loose, maybe even slightly crazy. Clothing and accessories are decorated with tassels, laces, embroidery and even feathers. Clothes are loose and made of natural materials, which is why this style is associated with summer. Ethnic motives as well as trends promoted by hippies such as flower patterns, bells and intense colors are welcome. Women’s gloves made of leather make the styling look more elegant. This style is quite girlish, so a strong addition in the form of colorful leather gloves will give it a definite character.

Gloves and NAPOTOUCH technology

The number of devices with touch screens on the market is very large. It was noticed by leather goods manufacturers who follow trends. Using smartphones with touch screens in ordinary leather gloves is not possible. This is particularly troublesome during the winter, because to use the phone, you need to remove gloves. Similarly, it is bothersome to use ATMs and touch screens in cars where they are becoming more and more popular.

What is the uniqueness of NAPOTOUCH technology?

The main advantage of the innovative NAPOTOUCH technology is that it is invisible. This means that practical functionality does not spoil the elegant appearance of napo gloves.

However, this is not all that distinguishes NAPOTOUCH technology used in napo gloves products. Its additional advantages are:

• covering all fingers – not just the index finger,
• abrasion resistance – the technology works for years

It should be added that all women’s and men’s gloves available in the napo gloves store are adapted to use touch screens – both made from natural lambskin and made from PU leather.

Why should you wear napo gloves?

There is no need to convince anyone that the touch function in leather gloves is needed. Devices with touch screens have become an element of everyday life – they are not only used for communication and Internet browsing, but also for payments, replacing credit and debit cards. napo gloves products are equipped with modern NAPOTOUCH technology, however, it is not only useful for smartphone. You meet touch screens at every step:

• tablets,
• ebook readers,
• GPS navigation
• ATMs,
• ticket machines,
• electronic information boards (e.g. in shopping centers).

In practice, you can face the need to use the touch screen up to several dozen times a day. Considering the fact that winter is very cold, it is good to get leather gloves that will facilitate the use of modern equipment during cold weather.
