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.
·Individually crafted by hand — greater attention to detail and unique character in each piece. Hand-made products can often be repaired by the maker.
·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.

Sustainability

·Johnstons of Elgin is recognized for sustainable practices across their product line.

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 Apparel). At ~8 uses/month, cost-per-use lands at about $1.25 over 5 years — reaching the $1-per-use "worth it" mark takes roughly 6.3 years of regular ownership.
