AlbertoNardoniStore Turtleneck Sweater vs Fedeli Men's Cashmere Turtleneck

Buy the Fedeli if you want a real cashmere turtleneck that will hold up over years. The AlbertoNardoniStore sweater is 100% polyester despite the cashmere wording, so it is a synthetic knit with a cashmere name, not a cashmere garment. Fedeli is an Italian knitwear house with a long record in cashmere; owners of its sweaters describe soft, dense yarn that resists pilling. The AlbertoNardoniStore piece is a budget formal look-alike: fine for a single event, thin on warmth and breathability.

• Choose the AlbertoNardoniStore turtleneck if you need an off-white formal layer for one occasion and want the lowest outlay.
• Choose the Fedeli turtleneck if you want genuine cashmere, natural warmth and a sweater you will wear for many winters.
