It's wool! Sheep get caught in the rain all the time. That said, it isn't waterproof. The dry cleaner should be unnecessary. Lay it flat to dry. If you need to wash it, it is machine-washable, gentle setting and lay flat to dry.

I have this jacket and would say it tolerates light rain/snow reasonably well for a wool jacket. That being said if you can avoid it I would recommend doing so and if you intend to use it in a heavy rain -- it's not going to be a good jacket for you. However, if just by chance you get caught in a good storm a quick trip to the dry cleaners will be necessary to return it to a wearable state.
