Always wash it by hand or very gentle cycle room temp water. As with most good wool- don't wash too frequently. No dryer- lay it out to dry.

My best friend has the Ibex black cirque jacket and she wears it more than any other outerwear- she loves it and it looks very sleek on her. She has worn it for 2 years now. Not really for 0 degree F. temps- it's a warm jacket, but it's not a winter coat. You should call Ibex to find out if its waterproof. It's not described as a rain jacket. I've had great success with spraying Scotchgard type spray on my various jackets (and my shoes) to repel rain- might want to look into that.
Thanks, Lisa. Winter here hovers around 40-50 damp degrees, so I don't need BIG warmth...
