Given the informative responses to my earlier question on altering a topcoat, I've moved onto the purchasing phase...
I've been looking predominantly at coats that are a very high cashmere/wool ratio, much moreso than my previous coats. That being said, my old purchases were much less expensive, but in this case I'm going for quality over the limitations of, at the time, a student budget.
That being said, I'm noticing that many of the coats I've tried seem to much a much lighter weight than ones I've previously owned. My initial inclination was that this means they won't be quite as warm, but now I am wondering if someone can clarify for me whether higher quality cashmere/wool or cashmere coats can seem to be a lighter weight while still being relatively warm for the winter months (which can get bad here in Ottawa)?
