- Is it worth choosing over a merino wool half-zip?
- If you want maximum softness and warmth for light layering, cashmere is the better feel. Merino is more durable, machine washable and better for daily wear, so pick it if you plan to wear the sweater often.
- How should I wash it?
- Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere or wool detergent, then press out the water and dry flat. Do not wring or hang it, and keep it away from a tumble dryer.
- How does it fit?
- It is cut as a men's jumper with long sleeves and a high collar, and Reiss knitwear generally runs true to size. Size up if you want to wear a thick shirt underneath.
- Can I wear it as an outer layer?
- Yes. The half-zip and high collar work closed as a standalone top in mild weather. In colder conditions it layers under a coat without much bulk.
- Will it pill?
- Cashmere commonly pills where it rubs, such as under the arms and at the cuffs. Remove pills with a fabric comb and wash it gently to slow this down.
- What colors and sizes are available?
- This version comes in brown and runs up to XXL. Check the size chart before ordering, since the range is narrow.
