Is brushed cashmere warmer than a cotton tee?

Yes. Cashmere insulates more per ounce than cotton, so the Yelena feels warmer than a cotton short-sleeve of similar weight while staying light.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash cold with a cashmere shampoo or dry clean. Skip the dryer; lay it flat to dry to keep the 26-inch length and shape.

Brushed cashmere pills where it rubs, especially under the arms and at the cuffs. A fabric comb removes the pills, and washing less often slows it.

It is a standard crewneck cut with a 26-inch body length in size Medium, hitting around the hip. It is not an oversized style.

Yes. The short sleeves and crewneck keep bulk low at the shoulders, so it layers cleanly under a jacket.
