This is a beautiful jacket. The shell is a blue wool and silk blend that is bonded on a polyamide surface. All the seams are taped and sealed, so it is waterproof and retains heat beautifully. It has a beautiful sheen and can easily be dressed up or down (think from the opera to the bar). I absolutely wouldn't sell it if it weren't too big for me after losing weight.
