Is a cashmere blazer warm enough for winter?

It adds real warmth as a mid-layer over a sweater, but it is not a coat. For cold commutes, wear it under an overcoat.

How does it compare with a wool blazer?

Cashmere is softer, lighter and warmer than standard wool, with more drape and less structure. Wool holds a sharper shoulder and resists pilling better.

Cashmere commonly pills, especially where sleeves rub against the body. A fabric comb removes pills, and washing or cleaning sparingly helps.

How should I care for it?

Dry-clean it and brush it after wear. Fold rather than hang it on a thin hanger to keep the shoulders from stretching.

What is the fit like?

The cut is soft and unstructured with patch pockets, so it layers over knitwear without pulling. It sits closer to a cardigan-jacket than a tailored suit blazer.
