Kent Clothing Brush - Too Harsh?

[Evan Roth]

Recently bought this brush from ebay:

I believe its the "CC1" model.

I've heard good things about Kent brushes, but when I used it to brush a wool sport coat that I wore yesterday I was a bit worried about the stiffness of the bristles. Its my first time using a clothing brush and I am afraid of damaging my clothing by using such a strong bristle. Are the bristles supposed to be stiff or is there something wrong with the brush? Thanks in advance for your help!

Kent brushes are good: You will not do any harm if you brush normally, if you set out to scrub the pattern off then yes you will!
