Looking for wool coat/overcoat options (plus blundstone question)
Hey everyone, coming into winter I’m looking to pick up a quality wool/tweed overcoat. I tried on the coat below and really really liked it, priced at $480 cdn. I had all intentions of buying it however I misremembered the material and the shell is 70% poly, 25% nylon and only 5% wool. The inner liner is 100% synthetic but I think that’s passable. I am specifically looking for higher wool content from a quality perspective and have a hard time justifying $500 for a coat that is only 5%.
1. The brand is Matinique if that matters, does this material blend/brand help justify the price. Is that normal?
2. Any similar tweed/wool coats that may be of a higher quality, more wool content/warmer and around a similar price point? I can go up 100-250 or so if it makes a huge difference but I’d rather not go any higher than that at least for this winter.
bonus blundstone question
How are they supposed to fit? I am looking at the winter thermal dress model. I have the option to go a bit more snug but there’s a very noticeable not-lined section at the heel and I’m not sure if that will wear away/eat through socks or anyone has opinions. Truthfully I also just need to try them on with some winter socks to get a good feel
