Wont top the Vicuna overcoat I thrifted for $5
Most stuff labeled Vicuna is actually alpaca(sort of a domesticated version of vicuna) These animals live in the cold dry Andes and have adapted to the dry climate and have no lanolin in their wool. Good for people allergic to wool but I wouldn't wear them in the rain or wet conditions.
And btw, spending even 10 hrs hanging around thrift stores (say a $10k loss in pay) to buy some used coat is just crazy.
