It’s the most comfortable garment I’ve ever touched, every moment wearing it is pure bliss. The fur is hardly visible to the outside, so little signaling value.
You're signaling right here, and I bet you've mentioned this before. It's not a problem, people do all kinds of things for signaling, but I hope you're not genuinely convinced you can't find similar bliss for an order of magnitude less than what you paid. That being said, do you have a link to see it?

I’ve got extensive experience commissioning various garments in workshops around the world, buying furs from auctions and hunting around the world for fine fabrics.
An order of magnitude simply isn’t realistic, you could create something similar for 33-50% of the money if you were willing to accept a cheaper exterior fabric and a lesser grade of fur. Keep in mind that regardless of materials a well crafted coat will tend to cost a few thousand euros, fur lining requires significantly more work.
If you were to just walk up to a decent tailor and ask for a quote, it’s unlikely they’d give you a number below 10000 euros.
Little signaling value outside of anonymous internet conversations, visually indistinguishable from the significantly cheaper (5k) cashmere version without fur, except for the colorway that some sales rep or a true enthusiast might recognize.
