Is this sweater warm enough for winter?

Cashmere is warm for its weight, and the hood and ribbed trim help trap heat. It works as a mid-layer in cold weather and as an outer layer in mild weather.

It has a regular fit with a relaxed silhouette, so it layers over a tee or shirt without pulling. The ribbed hem keeps it from riding up.

How should I care for 100% cashmere?

Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo or dry clean, then dry flat. Avoid hanging it, which stretches the knit, and use a fabric comb on any pilling.

Can I wear it instead of a jacket?

In mild weather, yes. In rain or wind it is a layer, not a shell, and the knit will not block water.

What makes it different from a cotton hoodie?

The yarn: cashmere is softer and warmer than cotton, and the suede cord stoppers and ribbed trim give it a more tailored finish than a standard sweatshirt hoodie.
