It won't be that warm with a 30% wool content, but I guess that's not the issue. If you feel like taking a risk - go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-wool-content#post-149000 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:10:22 +0000 nica 149000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Michelle. I think I'll be OK with black - I don't have kids yet, no pets and will mainly be using it for my commute (by train) to and from work. But definitely all good things to think about, so thanks for the heads up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-wool-content#post-148997 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 03:58:59 +0000 Michelle 148997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum, Nica!<br /> I can't comment on the fabric quality of your prospective coat, but did want to draw your attention to Angie's post on the perils of black outerwear, just in case her warnings pertain to any aspect of your lifestyle:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/12/26/beware-the-black-coat/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/12/.....lack-coat/</a></p> <p>Happy shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-wool-content#post-148971 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 03:16:44 +0000 nica 148971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - the coat is 30% wool, 40% acrylic and 30% polyester.

The coat looks lovely.

Thoughts? Thanks again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-wool-content#post-148933 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:50:37 +0000 nica 148933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>Hoping you can help me with a fabric-related question. I have found a beautiful (new) coat on eBay here in Australia, it is black and knee-length and I think would fit me very well. The only thing is, its only 30 per cent wool...does that mean it is poor quality? Should I be looking for something with a high wool content? I will be mainly wearing it over my suits to work and as Australian winters are not particularly cold, warmth isn't so much of an issue. I'm more worried that the fabric won't look nice for long/will pill easily etc.</p> <p>Would greatly appreciate any thoughts you have! Thanks in advance! </p>
