Wait a minute! $168 for a poly coat?

55% polyester, 3% wool and calling this a Plain Wood Coat? C'mon QVC/Isaac. It's cute, but I would never pay that much for a poly coat, that actually looks like a sweater. A372777

 

In comparison I watched Linea show the other day and he had a beautiful hand embroidered skirt for $86. 

 

I don't get how some designers can charge so much more than other,

I got one better, try Costco, Walmart, Amazon anyone else.  QVC is so out of line.  Sorry QVC but I just had to say it.

How can they even advertise that as a wool coat??  3%???  That's a joke!  And it does look more like a sweater and not a "coat" I would wear here in Chicago.

It is cute but only 3% wool and described as a coat no way.  They have 60% wool coats that run the same price or less on sale in the real world.

 

I own one 100% wool coat that I brought about 20 years ago for about that price I think and it is still in excellent condition I just had to replace the lining recently.

They shouldn't even mention the wool in that small amount.

There are real wool coats out there.  Belk has an Anne Klein for about the same price.  There is one that AK that is wool which is actually cheaper.  If you want a wool coat, however, the best time to buy is at the end of the season and buy as high end as you can.  I have one which I purchased more than 20 years ago to wear to my mother's funeral, that is cashmere and wool.  Bought it at the end of the year for $250, 75% off.  Looks brand new.  I keep it in a garment bag and have it dry-cleaned annually.

I aagree it only has a minimal amount of wool --major deception. Also it is not a coat it is a jacket.

A month?  You are being generous and optimistic.  Maybe even Pollyanna-ish!
