Is the cotton-cashmere blend warm enough for winter?

It works as a mid-layer in cold weather and alone in mild cold. For deep winter, wear it under a coat or jacket.

How does it compare with a pure cashmere rollneck?

It is less warm and less soft than pure cashmere but more durable and easier to care for. It also holds its shape better over time.

The ribbed neck is reported to keep its shape with normal wear. Avoid hanging the sweater, which stretches the neck and shoulders.

Hand wash in cool water with a wool-safe detergent, or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Dry flat, never in a tumble dryer.

The fit is trim through the chest and shoulders. If you want room for a shirt underneath, consider sizing up.

This version is blue. BOSS rotates the color range each season, so other shades vary by collection.
