- Is a cashmere blazer warm enough for winter?
- It works as a layer in heated offices and mild cold, but it is not a coat. In freezing weather you still need an outer layer over it.
- Will it pill?
- Yes, cashmere pills with friction, most often under the arms and where a bag rubs. A fabric comb removes the pills, and rotating it with other jackets slows the wear.
- How does it compare with a wool blazer?
- It is softer, lighter and warmer for its weight, but wool resists pilling and holds a crisp shape longer. Choose cashmere for comfort, wool for durability.
- Does the stretch make it fit differently?
- The 4% elastane gives a little give at the shoulders and elbows, so it moves with you. The overall cut is still straight and structured, not stretchy like a knit.
- How should I care for it?
- Dry clean it sparingly, brush it after wear and fold rather than hang it to avoid shoulder distortion. Store it away from moths.
- What is in the box?
- One blazer. Nothing else is included.
- Where is the Max Mara Cashmere Blazer cheapest?
- At Balardi, for $1,299.00, as of our latest check.
