Some Help Needed.....re a coat

[dl20]

Im looking at a versace 3/4 length coat online and have a question about the fabric....it says it is 59% wool and 41% acetate........in the picture it looks kind of silky but i was wondering if anyone can tell me some characteristics of the material (ie, feel, how it wears, etc) i appologize for a somewhat ambigious question but cant see how silk and wool could be blended together.....any knowledge you guys have would be appreciated.

thanx in advance

HI di20

Silk and wool are often blended for men's suiting . The feel should be silky and luxurious . The same goes for acetate and wool .
CORRECT dry-cleaning would be an absolute essential . B)
