What does a cashmere content of 33.5% mean for a cashmere coat?

A content of 33.5% means that cashmere accounts for 33.5% of the material; this meets the minimum 30% threshold for cashmere products, though such a coat is technically classified as a cashmere blend. In contrast, a product must contain over 95% cashmere to be labeled as "100% cashmere."

Sweaters with a cashmere content of less than 30% feel very similar to standard wool sweaters. Only when the cashmere content reaches at least 30% does the garment offer a rich, soft feel, a more distinctive texture, and superior warmth.
