100% wool vs blended wool? Schott Car Coat

I recently bought this wool coat from Schott, and I love the color and style.
However, I looked on the tag and it said it's a 80%wool 20%nylon blend.
This kind of ruins it for me because I wanted a nice quality wool coat, but a wool blend seem to be something I would buy at the Gap.

Do any of you know the reason for adding nylon to wool? Is it a filler to make the material cheaper? If that's the case, that surprises me because I thought Schott only made quality stuff.

Maybe I'll send it back. Any of you know of any comparable jackets with 100% wool?

Yeah warmer and a little more weather-proof. Keep it.

Wool gives warmth and is durable while nylon gives flexibility to the clothing.

I think if you google search it you can find some pics of people wearing.

I got it off the Schott website. I got the grey but I thinking about trading it in for black.
