- Is it really 100% cashmere?
- Yes, the sweater is listed as pure cashmere rather than a cotton or wool blend. That makes it softer and warmer for its weight than the brand's cotton knits.
- How does it compare with a merino half-zip?
- Cashmere is softer and warmer per gram but less durable and more prone to pilling than merino. Merino is the better pick for frequent, rough wear; cashmere for comfort and a dressier look.
- Can I machine wash it?
- The care label allows washing at 30 degrees, but use a wool cycle with a cashmere-safe detergent and dry flat. Hand washing is gentler and reduces stretching.
- What sizes are available?
- The listing covers small through large, with L shown as the stocked size. Check the brand's size guide, as Charles Tyrwhitt knits run close to standard UK/US sizing.
- Is the zip neck warm enough for winter?
- Zipped up it works as a high-collar layer under a coat; open, it is a light mid-layer. For very cold days a heavier wool sweater will be warmer.
- How should I store it?
- Fold it rather than hanging, which stretches the shoulders. Store with cedar to deter moths, and use a fabric comb to remove pills.
