Is it really 100% cashmere?

The coat is described as 100% pure cashmere, with no wool or synthetic blend listed. Pure cashmere is softer and warmer for its weight than wool blends, but it is also less durable.

What is a double-breasted overcoat good for?

The overlapping front gives a formal, structured look suited to weddings, black tie, proms and business dress. It is less casual than a single-breasted coat.

How should I care for a pure cashmere coat?

Cashmere should be dry cleaned or hand washed cold and dried flat, not machine washed or tumble dried. Brush it and store it folded or on a wide hanger to limit pilling and stretching.

Does it work for black tie?

It is described as suitable for black tie and formal events, and the double-breasted cut and camel or black color fit that setting. It is a dress coat rather than a casual everyday one.

How does it compare with a wool-cashmere blend coat?

Pure cashmere is softer, lighter and warmer for its weight, but a wool blend resists pilling and abrasion better. Choose this for feel and formality, a blend for hard daily wear.
