- Is this sweater really 100% cashmere?
- Yes. The fabric content is listed as 100% cashmere, with no wool or synthetic blend. That means a softer hand and more warmth per ounce than a wool-cashmere mix.
- How does the slim fit run?
- It is a slim-fit cut, so it sits close to the body. If you are between sizes or want room for a shirt underneath, consider going up one size.
- How should I care for a pure cashmere sweater?
- Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo, or dry clean. Dry flat and never hang it, and fold rather than hang in storage to keep the shoulders in shape.
- Will it pill?
- Some pilling is normal on soft cashmere, especially under the arms and where a bag rubs. A fabric comb removes it, and pilling usually eases after the first few wears.
- Can I wear it under a blazer?
- Yes. The fine knit and slim cut are made for layering under an unstructured jacket. A crew neck also works over a collared shirt.
- When is the best time to buy it?
- Cashmere sweaters usually see the deepest discounts at end-of-season sales in late winter and early spring. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.
