Both products from famous designers and things from a regular supermarket need proper storage. It is a garment bag that can solve the problem of preserving your wardrobe. Products of different textures, sizes, and shades will help protect your smart and casual clothes from dirt and moths.
What is it for?
To make it easier to choose a model from a variety, you need to clearly understand how to use it correctly. Clothes storage products are used in a variety of situations:
- On a trip or business trip. The difficulties of moving, business trips, travel will be significantly facilitated by special covers for storing things. Their main purpose in such situations is to protect the wardrobe from road dust, damage, moisture. Travel models are distinguished by their modest appearance and are sewn from dense and durable materials that are difficult to accidentally tear or damage;
- In the off-season. To ensure the safety of seasonal clothing, use special covers with side inserts (approximately 10 cm wide). Thanks to such models, voluminous warm clothing (fur coats, sheepskin coats, down jackets) will be stored in a free position, without creases or folds;
- In everyday life. For everyday use, regular covers are suitable, which will help to preserve everyday wardrobe - suits, dresses. To make it convenient to close clothes, it is important to choose products of the design, cut, materials you like.
For comfortable wardrobe care, it is not necessary to have all models of covers. If you clearly understand the size range and features of the products, you can get by with a minimal set.
Varieties
Garment covers are characterized by different parameters. It is possible to conditionally group products by some features.
Material
Both natural and artificial fabrics are used for sewing products. Any material has both positive and negative sides:
- Polyethylene (PVC film) is transparent and allows you to easily find the necessary clothes in the closet. Such covers are durable and lightweight, ideal for moving, business trips. Experts advise using them for a short time, because the film does not allow air or odors to pass through. Clothes that have been hanging in a polyethylene bag for a long time can "suffocate";
- Nylon is lightweight, practical, and inexpensive. Products made from the material are wear-resistant, easy to care for, and have a pleasant appearance, which is why they are often used by clothing manufacturers. But their disadvantages must be taken into account: they do not conduct air or moisture. If wet clothes are covered with a cover, the fabrics may become moldy. Nylon is also highly electrified;
- Spunbond is very popular for sewing covers. These models are lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, highly durable, and have good air permeability. They are easy to wash and provide high-quality protection for your wardrobe from sunlight, dust, and dirt;
- Cotton covers are environmentally friendly, allow air and moisture to pass through well. The most popular products are those made of canvas fabric, which is characterized by a dense weave. These models are very popular in the design environment - fashion houses sew covers for clothes with logos. Products made of canvas are in demand due to many advantages: pleasant texture, unpretentious care, dries quickly, is resistant to any type of dirt, and is wear-resistant.
When choosing a cover for everyday storage of clothes, first of all pay attention to the air permeability of the materials.
Overall dimensions
When buying a cover, it is recommended to start from two parameters: length and width. Manufacturers sew products of different lengths - 80, 85, 125, 140 and 150 cm. The most popular options are 100, 137 cm. When choosing a model for long items, you need to keep in mind that the length of the clothes is measured from the collar. For shirts, blouses, short dresses, products with a length of 100 cm are suitable. Evening dresses will be perfectly preserved in models up to 160 cm long.
In order not to miscalculate the width, keep in mind the width of the hangers. Standard products are sewn 60 or 75 cm wide. If you need larger models, they are made to order.
How to choose the best one
Each consumer is guided by their own motives when choosing covers. In order to make the right purchases, it is advisable to take into account several points.
Owners of furs should give preference to "breathable" materials. Fur or woolen clothes are best preserved in cotton bags. To combat small harmful moths, you can use special sachets that are hung on a hanger. Transparent covers captivate with their visibility - after all, it is very convenient to immediately visually assess where each item hangs. Polyethylene models are the best option for temporary housing, since you will not have to waste time looking for the right dress or suit.
It is more likely that sophisticated aesthetes will pay attention to the design of the case or its color scheme. After all, it must be admitted that the appearance of the model will not affect its performance characteristics. Covers significantly simplify the care of things and increase their service life. But before buying, you need to decide exactly how many you need, what length, from what material. And you need to correctly assess the capabilities of the closet - in order for clothes to maintain a well-groomed appearance, they must hang freely.
