Is this real cashmere?

It is a blend: 35% cashmere and 65% wool. You get some cashmere softness, but the wool does most of the work on structure and warmth.

It is cut slim and close to the body. The bust measurements run narrow, so choose a size up if you want room to layer a shirt underneath.

Wool is the majority fiber, so sensitive skin may notice it against the neck. A thin base layer underneath helps.

How should I care for it?

Hand wash cold and dry flat to protect the ribbed knit. Machine washing and hanging will stretch the shape.

It works as a mid-layer under a coat. On its own it suits mild cold or indoor wear rather than deep winter outdoors.

Wool-cashmere blends commonly pill at the underarms and cuffs. A fabric shaver removes the pills.
