Embroidered Coat
Coats are a part of formal dressing and setup. They bring a sense of discipline, uniformity and decorum to the place. One of the methods of emphasizing the decorum is the use of an embroidered coat. These generally have the logo of the company, the name and the designation of the employee embroidered on it. The concept of a uniform embroidered coat brings about the concept of equality and status within the organization. The embroidered coat becomes the symbol of the organization itself. The Army, Navy and Air Force are common examples – where the status and the position of the wearer is well displayed for all to see.
An embroidered coat is a symbol of the organization they belong to be well demonstrated by the following examples – the doctor’s hospital, division and name are well demonstrated on his jacket. He doesn’t need to introduce himself/herself to the thousands of people who come into the hospital every day – just by his appearance and a glance at his coat it will be clear who he is. The same goes for the Police, the General of the Army, the Sheriff, or the President Of United States Of America. Basically, an embroidered coat with the common logo – expresses fraternity and oneness.
An embroidered coat can be used to make a personal statement – with one's initials or the brand logo on the sleeve, lapels, or collar. An embroidered coat could be the bridegrooms pride be it a Christian Wedding, Nikaah or the Saptapadi. Myriad designs of strength, power, fertility, longevity, prosperity, etc. are possible to decorate the embroidered jacket. An embroidered coat has been ever popular with the people who would like to associate themselves with the elite – like the Maharajas and Emperors of yore. The use of gold and silver threads, little sequins made of gold and silver, precious and semiprecious embellishments on the coats, the use of velvet and satin on the inside and outside made it elegant to look at and lent a posh feel to them.
An embroidered coat is not only a man’s forte it can be enjoyed by women too. The best part is that even though they may be heavily embroidered they are not heavy. Depending on the materials used can be washed or dry cleaned hence easy to maintain. Depending on the occasion they can be embroidered heavy or lightly but if you are a fan of embroidered coats – there is one for every occasion. There are different kinds of embroidered coats for men and women like the Sherwani, the Band gala for men and the Kimono or wraparound style, mandrin necks, to the other myriad designs from Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other cultures.
An Embroidered coat is a fashion statement even today – each time one visits a fashion show or watches it on the television, one will see young strappy men flaunting these creations – some with embroidered necklines, lapels, edges and sleeves. Some with heavy and light work overall. Others with dramatic and conservative cuts to emphasis the breadth of the chest the length of the torso and bring out their height. A total tool to express their masculinity. |
