Our take on the Elinsborg Cashmere Hooded Cardigan, Beige

The Elinsborg Cashmere Hooded Cardigan is a 100% cashmere knit with a hood, a two-way front zip and subtle cable accents, cut in a relaxed everyday fit. The hood and double zip set it apart from plain cashmere cardigans, which usually come with buttons and a crew or V neck. It suits people who want a warm layer that works over a tee at home and under a coat outdoors. Cashmere at this level is soft and light but pills and needs careful washing, so treat it as a knit to look after rather than a throw-on beater.

Questions and answers

Is 100% cashmere worth it over a wool blend?

Pure cashmere is softer, lighter and warmer for its weight than wool blends, and it holds shape well if washed cold and dried flat. It also pills more and costs more to replace, so the blend is the lower-maintenance choice.

How does the double zip work?

There are two sliders on one zipper, so you can close it fully, open it from the bottom, or leave the top open with the hem zipped. That helps when sitting or layering over longer shirts.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo, press out the water in a towel, and dry flat away from heat. Skip the machine and the dryer, which cause shrinkage and felting.

Does it run true to size?

It is cut as a relaxed fit, so most shoppers take their usual size for a roomy layer. Size down if you want it closer to the body.

Can I wear it under a coat?

Yes, but the hood bunches at the neck under a collared coat. It works better under a roomy jacket or on its own indoors.
