AlbertoNardoniStore Turtleneck Sweater vs State Cashmere Men's Essential Turtleneck

Buy the State Cashmere turtleneck if you want actual cashmere. Its label says 100% Grade A cashmere from Inner Mongolia, 2-ply yarns and a 12-gauge knit, which is a real knitwear spec. The AlbertoNardoni sweater is 100% polyester despite the cashmere wording in its name and description, so treat it as a budget synthetic pullover. On build and material, the State Cashmere is the better sweater; the AlbertoNardoni is the cheaper-looking option for a one-off formal event.

• Choose the AlbertoNardoni turtleneck if you need an off-white formal layer for a single event and do not mind a polyester knit.
• Choose the State Cashmere turtleneck if you want a genuine cashmere sweater you can wear for years and are willing to hand wash it.
