NAADAM Cashmere Short Sleeve V-Neck Sweater vs Cashmere Short Sleeve Crew Neck Sweater

Both are 100% cashmere short-sleeve sweaters, so the real split is neckline, fit and knit weight. The NAADAM is a thin 7-gauge, 1-ply knit in a classic fit with a V neck, which makes it the better layering piece over collared shirts and under jackets. The Pure Cashmere NYC is a slightly relaxed crew with OEKO-TEX certification and a claim of lower pilling, which suits people who want a softer, easier everyday fit. Owners of fine-gauge cashmere report that thin 1-ply knits show wear and pill faster than denser ones, so treat the NAADAM as the more delicate of the two.

• Choose the NAADAM V-neck if you want a thin, layerable sweater that sits neatly under a blazer or over a button-down and you prefer a V neckline.
• Choose the Pure Cashmere NYC crew neck if you want a slightly relaxed fit, a crew neckline and a lower-pilling claim with OEKO-TEX certification.
