What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Cashmere — Softer and lighter than wool but more delicate. Quality cashmere (look for long-fiber, 2-ply) pills less and can last a decade with care.
·Made by Johnstons of Elgin in United Kingdom.

Longevity & Care

·Cashmere — Hand wash cold or dry clean. Store folded, never hung — hangers stretch the shoulders. Pilling is normal early on — use a cashmere comb.
·⚠ Beware ultra-cheap cashmere — short fibers pill quickly and lose shape. Look for 2-ply construction and long-staple fibers.

Cost Per Use

·Cashmere — A quality cashmere sweater at $200 worn weekly for 8 years costs about $0.50 per wear. Cheap cashmere ($50) often pills out within a season — making it more expensive per wear.
·Johnstons of Elgin is known for products that hold up over years of use — which typically means a lower cost per use than cheaper alternatives that need replacing.
·Priced around $600 (midpoint of $400+ for Accessories). At ~12 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 4.2 years — and falls to roughly 83¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
