Reading reviews of 100% wool and wool blend coats that are wrinkled.
Where can I find a nice long wool coat? I usually have a black one that I can wear with jeans or evening gowns. Thank you in advance if you know of any brands or stores. I am not looking to spend more than $200. |
| ? I've never had a coat (wool, cashmere, velour, other) that wrinkled. |
Maybe the coat wrinkles in shipping from ordering online. Or the material is too thin. Any recommendations for a wool coat? |

It does sound like inferior wool if it wrinkles.
H & m usually has them, or ll bean…but my best wool/cashmere/camel coats were from estate sales or thrift stores. |
| $200 or under for wool? Not likely. It's not the 1960s anymore. |
|
A decent wool coat is very likely going to cost more than $200 if new unless at a massive discount at an outlet or being from a previous season.
Look online at Poshmark, RealReal, and find brands like Hobbs London, MaxMara, Talbots. |
This. No wonder you’re reading about wrinkly coats if that’s the price point you’re aiming for. |
| I need a black wool coat as well, but am willing to spend more. Suggestions on brands and where to shop? Saks? Neimans? Bloomies? |
I used to shop at Burlington Coat Factory and found nice wool coats for under $100, not more than ten years ago. I've recently relocated from Florida, where I got rid of my winter coats. I'm looking for a nice one. If I can't find a nice one, I won't buy a cheap one. I'll just use something else for everyday for a winter coat. |

OP here. Okay, you offered a lot of sarcastic responses, but no suggestions.
I might be willing to pay more than $200 for a quality wool coat. However, my point in asking, is that most coats I'm seeing are "wool blends," not 100% Italian lambswool. Perhaps like with Ugg boots and leather jackets, 100% wool coats are no longer in fashion due to hurting lambs or something. That's why I'm asking. |
I don't really want to buy a used wool coat, because I would be concerned about moth holes or odor. I take good care of my wool clothes, and they usually last a very long time. |
Hurting lambs? LMAO - hardly anyone gives a damn about that! I have never had a wool coat wrinkle. I usually get from Jcrew or Calvin Klein. Not that high end. |

Here's an example of what I would NEVER pay for a wool blend coat.
This coat is over $800. It's not even 100% Italian lambswool. Plus for me, I like to have a collar and buttons. I don't want something that looks like a ratty bath robe. That's what this looks like to me. This isn't what I'm looking for. https://www.hobbs.com/us/product/clarendon-wool-blend-coat/0224-3980-9044L00-CHARCOAL.html#navAjax=true&is=true&cgid=new&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&prefn1=category0&prefv1=Coats%20and%20Jackets&pid=0224-3980-9044L00-CHARCOAL&pos=1 |
J Crew and Calvin Klein are both brands that I would most likely trust. I could probably try them on the store. Thank you. |
