Is brushed cashmere different from regular cashmere?

Yes. Brushing raises fibers from the knit, so the surface feels softer and looks slightly fuzzy. It also pills more easily than a smooth cashmere knit.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash cold with a cashmere shampoo and lay flat to dry, or dry clean. Skip the machine and the dryer, which shrink and mat the fibers.

Can I wear it in summer?

Short sleeves make it a transitional piece. Cashmere traps warmth, so it suits spring and fall days better than hot weather.

Does the leopard print run large or small?

The print is brushed into the knit, so it reads softer and less sharp than a printed fabric. It is an allover pattern, not a placement print.

What is The Good Cashmere Standard?

It is a certification from the Aid by Trade Foundation covering animal welfare, farming practices and traceability in cashmere supply chains.

Our take on the Nordstrom Brushed Leopard Print Short Sleeve Cashmere Sweater

A short-sleeve crewneck sweater in brushed cashmere, cut like a T-shirt but warmer and softer. The brushed finish gives the leopard print a soft, blurred look and adds loft to the knit. It suits shoppers who want a lightweight layer with pattern instead of a plain tee. Against plain cashmere tees from luxury labels, it trades minimalism for a bold print and a lower entry into cashmere; the trade-off is that brushed cashmere pills and needs gentle care.
