It doesn't have a trace of cashmere in it and yet is soft soft soft even after multiple washes-always a winning result for someone whose clumsiness demands regular machine washing! And nothing beats the current London chill like my Topshop Boutique shearling coat. Bought last year, it was my most indulgent purchase to date and was clearly a good investment as I still pull it on again and again as it's just classic enough to weather the trends. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
