The English 3 button look has been 'in' for a while. It a great look for those which are considered tall. The side flaps are great, also a British cut. I've never gone for the typical American mid-flap, since some who wear it look like real schlubs including me, unless it's a perfect cut. The style you got is perfect. The full cut (no flap) which is more Italian or French, is also sharp.

The 3 season wool is very nice, and nothing like the real Burberry buttons. You made an excellent choice in colour as well.

That 100 wool classification is most likely 120s maybe as high as 160s(?) If you look at the jacket's label it should correspond with one the numerical woolen grade classifications below:

(A) `Super 80's' or `80's', if the average diameter of wool fiber of such wool product does not average 19.75 microns or finer;

(D) `Super 110's' or `110's', if the average diameter of wool fiber of such wool product does not average 18.25 microns or finer;

(E) `Super 120's' or `120's', if the average diameter of wool fiber of such wool product does not average 17.75 microns or finer;

(F) `Super 130's' or `130's', if the average diameter of wool fiber of such wool product does not average 17.25 microns or finer;
