The 6 Best Cashmere Sweaters From $75 to $1,000 | Editorialist

[@sarrahfanny]

This video was so informational. Please make more of these comparison videos with an emphasis on quality. That's really the differentiating factor. So many channels make comparison videos with no mention of how the product holds up over time after washing and wearing. This is exactly what I need!!! Would love to see one for denim, leather boots or loafers, slip-on sneakers, and merino wool.

Just a heads up, Editorialist completely stole this idea from a British influencer Lizzy Hadfield's 'Testing Basics' youtube series (without any credit)

[@rustyshackleford17]

Unfortunately, since most channels have to have a constant stream of reviews/new products the durability of a garment is rarely mentioned. Which is sad since durability is the Achilles Heel of cashmere.

[@maxinel353]

Would love to see a comparison video for silk skirts featuring Lilysilk and other brands!

I have learned so much about cashmere this videos will help me with my next cashmere. Can’t wait to see more videos like this.

that was so fun to watch and they all look great

[@BlackBlood74]

My favorite is one that is good to the animals. They are priority over anything for me. Glad that one was the best pick overall. Can't wait to get one. I hope they do recycled cashmere in the future or have a bigger market of preloved sweaters. I use my cashmere everyday in winter. Piling is the problem. I find it needs to be washed less often which is nice. Another point for sustainability. It doesn't trap any smells especially if you wear layers. Thanks for the helpful video :)

[@editorialist]

That is wonderful so hear! Thank you so much!

[@SElisabeth17]

This was recommended to me in my feed and I’m so glad. Great review! I have two of the Nadaam sweaters and really love them but my cashmere experience is definitely limited. I find they pill easily in the armpit area (i’m bigger so a lot more friction there) but have so far held up well. Definitely going to eye Everlane and Naked for the future

[@editorialist]

Hi Samantha! This is wonderful. Nadaam, Everlane and Naked are definitely amazing and easy to style. We can't wait to see you wear your new cashmere sweaters. Make sure to tag us on Instagram @editorialistmagazine to see your look!

[@jijisl7770]

I just want to clarify washing process of Loro Piana sweater (I own multiple of them). 1) Use LP shampoo. 2) Put the sweater into the protection bag (I use for many years Wolford laundry bags & can recommend them). 3) Always use the “Wool/Handwash” program. I don’t understand how she didn’t notice that she has one…. 4) After washing always reshape the sweater & lay flat for drying. Maybe next time you will include Gabriela Hearst knitwear (especially her cashmere/silk light sweaters) - they are amazing too! Great video! Greetings from Germany!

[@o2xb]

How are you able to afford loro piana?

[@rustyshackleford17]

Would be nice to revisit these in a year and see how each of them are holding up. A lot of the cheap/mid-level cashmere does not hold up very well with regular wear. My understanding is that the most durable cashmere tends to be (relatively) uncomfortable out of the box and breaks in.

[@chrissengemmill6024]

Interestesting and informative :-) Wish you would have compared the Everlane Cashmere Crew vs the chunkier knit.

[@jj9501]

Same! Been debating buying it but the reviews on their website put me off from buying.

[@chrissengemmill6024]

@@jj9501 I love my Everlan cashmere crews - very soft, low pill and great quality for price :-) I have 4 now.

[@jj9501]

@@chrissengemmill6024 thank you! Do you also think the quality has gone down with the newer collection? I have a really soft scarf from everlane that I really love 😀

[@chrissengemmill6024]

@@jj9501 I haven't noticed a difference. Everlane really is a go to for staples for me, even from New Zealand. I use the pieces to work in with my "NZ brand" items.

[@jemgirl4]

I have the exact everlane sweater shown and have had it for a couple years. It’s nice quality and holding up well but a couple things… it isn’t too soft but very warm. So I find myself wearing only on very cold days where I’d have a base layer on. I wash it on delicate in a lingerie bag with the laundress cashmere shampoo and air dry laying flat. I find that it has gotten softer from this method. I also have a cashmere sweater from free people 3 years ago and it’s awesome and only $100-$150 but I’ve heard they aren’t as good anymore and are very thin. Bummer! I’m looking try nadaam cause why not! I’ve also heard N Peal is nice.

[@edvalann]

Fun to see such an in depth test. So thumbs up. Just a FYI, you're supposed to remove the metal brand tag. It just for when in stores :) The same goes for many luxury items like jackets, shirts etc, remove the tag when you've decided to keep it and is not intended to stay on.

[@raingworl]

Great Video!!

[@FairyRosee_]

Thank you for testing it! I just got the Joslyn by Naked Cashmere. I've been dreaming of a soft and slightly oversized cashmere sweater for many years! I got $65 off today too! What size was yours? I got a small and I'm a size 6 because it looks so oversized.

[@FairyRosee_]

A year of wearing: It's SO warm, so tightly woven and flat and smooth. There's nothing I own that looks like it. I got a rich orange/yellow color that no other brand sells. It pills every couple months, but a quick sweater shaver does the job. The sleeves are perfect! It's my favorite item of clothing! I don't need a coat if I layer well under it. Thank you so much for doing this test! I would have never heard of this brand otherwise! I have skin sensitivity issues and EVERYTHING is itchy to me, but this sweater isn't. It's super soft. The tag is on the back of the neck, but even that isn't itchy. i think I could pass this sweater down. It retains it's shape and does not snag!

[@hanshton]

i wash all my cashmere by hand and never any shrinkage, have plenty from Theory too. for me they hold up amazingly but the best for me is Joseph Cashair sweaters, just a dream zero piling and so light weight

[@Yukiasmr1]

Your washer definitely has a hand wash/wool setting as well as a delicate setting

[@edennis8578]

My washing machine only rinses with cold water, which always makes my sweaters clench up (shrink).

[@manehbag732]

Love those cognac Oxfords too. Could you let us know where it's from? Thanks! Love all the details you gave on this video so helpful!

[@hildaelson4203]

I looooooooove cashmere, but since I moved from the UK to SE Asia, there haven’t been many opportunities to wear them, maybe once or twice a year in the region where I live, as I doesn’t usually get colder than 9-10 degrees. So, now I have other home items in cashmere, like cushion covers, pillowcases etc. I also have soft toys custom knitted in pure cashmere, just to satisfy my inner craving for cashmere hahaha.

[@beebear9265]

Also a tip for taking care of ur cashmere sweaters is either washing by hand or by machine dry cleaning is really damaging to the fibers of sweaters overtime cause of the harsh chemicals they use to clean it with :)

How many plys in the yarn factors in the strength as well.

[@damedancealot]

If you ever do a part 2 video, consider the cashmere sweaters at Garin Cashmere, they are incredibly, buttery soft, beautifully designed, and can also be gently machine washed!

[@phoebelee55]

Great review

[@najmakhalil5257]

Okay right off the bat you mentioned cashmere fiber comes from goats that live in harsh climates like China, Mongolia and Iran AND ALSO KASHMIR. The word cashmere comes from "Kashmiri" goat. Kashmiri means from the region of Kashmir. You neglected to mention where it even originated.

[@haileyhofer6614]

What sweater shaver did you use in this? Would you recommend it?

[@editorialist]

Hi Hailey! This is the fabric shaver Danielle used bit.ly/3rkZ8bY. We highly recommend this shaver because it reduces pilling in a fraction of the time. We hope this helps!

Wow, great video. I am glad I found this KZbin video and channel. With all of the recycle material, no one is talking about how recycle material could introduce allergen/chemical into the process that may contribute to allergies.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing

[@Nickysmom]

Always put sweater in a mesh bag if washing in machine

[@kenlu3572]

For true cashmere sweater de-pilling, you should use a soft brush instead of a cutting tool. I think it is common knowledge... Also, for high quality cashmere, it is better use a washer whose container set vertical rather than near horizontal angle.

[@clo9767]

what's the black turtle neck sweater you are wearing in the beginning? it is actually not easy to get a black turtle neck sweater, with fitting cut, in cotton/laine/cashemere

Please put them in bags at the end of the season, dry clean first. You’ll not have moth holes if you protect them.

800 euro is minimum for a good cashmere sweater

[@rustyshackleford17]

The low end companies have become very good at hiding their lack of quality. So much so, it's hard to tell the difference between a $100 and a $1000 sweater side by side. With more expensive cashmere, you're paying a lot for the durability of the knit. Ironically enough, due to the cost you're less likely to wear the expensive knit compared to the cheap one.
