La DoubleJ's striped cashmere, joy in sweater form

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is it true to size?

It is cut relaxed and slightly boxy with dropped shoulders, so many shoppers take their usual size for a roomy fit. Size down if you want it closer to the body.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Pure cashmere is warm for its weight, but the loose knit and boxy cut leave room for a base layer. It works as a mid-layer in cold weather and on its own in mild cold.

How should I wash it?

Hand-wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo, press out the water in a towel and dry flat. Avoid hanging it, which stretches the shoulders.

Will it pill?

Cashmere knits commonly pill where they rub, such as under the arms and at the cuffs. Remove pills with a fabric comb and the surface settles over time.

What is it made of?

It is a cashmere sweater, so the body is pure cashmere rather than a wool blend. Check the care label on the garment for the exact composition.

Does it work for both men and women?

It is designed as womenswear with a roomy cut. The boxy shape can suit men who size up, but the proportions are cut for a woman's frame.
