All knowing styleforum,
Soon I will be moving to a much colder city, which means I'll need to buy a few winter garments.
My main concern is that whatever I buy needs to last me for a while, but I have a few doubts
Between a 100% wool coat, an 80%-20% wool-polyester blend coat and a Down jacket, which one will last the longest on average? Considering similar care conditions
Is it true that a having a polyester blend with the wool, will help reduce pilling and make it last longer? Are there any drawbacks with having 20% polyester in your wool coat vs 100% wool?
How big does my coat rotation need to be to maximize its longevity 4,5,6 or more?
BTW it almost doesn’t rain during the winter where I am going, it barely snows and my daily work outfit is fairly casual, **** and slacks or chinos
And sorry for the long post!
