How Long A Cashmere Coat Can Last Practically

Depends on how often you wear it.

For him, not everyday. For me,

Say in winter everyday between January to March?

The fabric will start getting threadbare in areas like the cuffs and pockets where there is friction, just like with wool. If u want it to last 30 more years, don't wear it everyday. Are u even going to fit in it, though, in the future, or like the style? Will moths get to it? Will u want to purchase a new coat and just leave the old one in the closet for years, taking up space?

Don't think cashmere coats are meant to be worn daily. Most people wear them only to Christmas parties and special functions.

Your dad should have worn his coat more. Giving other people ur clothes is something I don't like.... it is like poor planning.

And, ya, why not wear a cashmere coat every day. It is replaceable, like cars. Go overseas and get a new coat.

Well, I know, but different people have different thoughts especially for old generation. I can tell that to others but not parents:)

I feel at least when I visit him, I would wear it. But since it’s old coat,I do plan to wear it often in winter. I need wear suit to work, so it helps

Thanks for suggestions!

Not sure what you mean. You have a rip in the lining?

Is it a cashmere trenchcoat?? I have one of those. Perfect for suits on special occasions but no... not the type to wear it everyday. Reminds me of what the mob wears during funerals in the winter, just sayin... lol.

Is that because your coat style that you are not comfortable wearing everyday?

From some google digging, it seems if the coat was well made, cashmere should be very a durable material for a coat. I would just wear it like you intended and if you see signs of deterioration happening too quickly then just stop, and put into a longer rotation.

The thing is, if it doesn't get wore, then it is not doing any good in a closet and it is not something you may want to pass to your kids anyways so bring it out and wear it.
