Hi! I'm from a tropical country and visiting Japan(Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka) with my friends this December.I have yet to buy a winter coat and not sure if the materials are warm enough for the weather during that period.
1) 100% cotton, faux fur lined, detachable faux fur trim
2) 100% lambswool, zip and horn toggle closure, tonal trim detailing, detachable faux fur trim
3) 100% soft twill cotton, faux fur lined, detachable faux fur trim, zip and toggle closure
May I know if these 3 are suitable for December (15-25 Dec)?
Thanks for all replies!! :)

Hmm...I think wool is better than cotton. And once you are inside (train, malls and hotels) it is very warm. Try to wear layers of thin clothes under the jacket. Kyoto is colder than Tokyo, by the way.

I wear a medium weight down-filled jacket in winter in Tokyo. The wool jacket might be okay with a good sweater underneath it, but you will freeze to death in cotton.

i pick #2.
You need any wool, lambswool is fine.
No cotton here@!!!!
This is not a tropical country, unless you head to Sakurajima, Kagoshima, Miyazaki, or Hakata.
Kyoto is central, you need your wool everything==gloves, socks, toque, sweater.............

Hey Sira, Are you Canadian? Thanks for the Toque translation.
I always thought that was standard english, not Canadian English. toque
