Many people have discovered the benefits of owning a heavy wool coat when the weather starts to turn cold and windy. In many parts of the world the weather can turn nasty for a few days no matter what the month.
Once someone truly understands the many benefits of wool coats and clothing they usually start to take the time to look at the manufacturers label when making a decision to purchase most any type of clothing to see if there is at least some wool used in the manufacturing process.
What are some of the benefits of not just 100% wool clothing, but also articles made with as little as 25% wool?

heavy wool coat
Wool is known for it’s natural insulating ability and even those articles of clothing with just a little bit of it in them will keep the wearer warmer than those coats, jackets, shirts, and sweaters that do not use it in the composition of the clothing.
- It has a unique ability to wick moisture away from the skin. This helps to keep a person warmer on those really wet days. This is one of the reasons why so many people who work outdoors for a living own a high quality wool coat or jacket.
- It is long lasting. Suits made of 100% wool are often passed down from generation to generation. This author’s grandson frequently wears a suit given to him by his long since passed on grandfather who purchased the suit in the 1950′s. It is still in excellent condition after nearly 60 years.
Many people think of wool clothing as something that is always heavy and warm and thus is only good for extremely foul weather, but that really is not the case anymore.
While it is in fact true that many of these articles of clothing, especially the larger winter coats that were made before 1980 are in fact too heavy and warm to wear on all but the coldest days, modern technology and manufacturing techniques have been able to make much lighter products, especially in the womens wool coats category that one can wear most any time of year.
