I have several Quince cashmere sweaters. I find the quality to be pretty good for a $50 sweater. It's not luxury, obviously, but they are comparable to sweaters from Lands' End, LL Bean, and Nordstrom that cost 2-3 times as much. I also find that washing them (gentle cycle, Woolite, flat dry) really improves the itch factor and gives them a softer, fluffier feel. Previous commenters are correct that Quince sizing is not consistent - I have the crewneck sweater in gray and black, size L, and the fit is completely different as far as body width, length, and sleeve diameter - but Quince has a generous return policy with free returns or exchanges, so while it's frustrating and inconvenient having to guess and hope at sizing, it's not costly.

[@playingthemomgame]

Yeah they seem to have really good customer service!

[@nicholeshangraw2713]

Quince cashmere just gets softer with wear. I have several sweaters and Love them all. Some people are super sensitive to cashmere though...

[@playingthemomgame]

I thought that may be the case!

[@Ymat233]

Love my quince cashmere sweater. They get softer. When is not cold for me the sweater feels itchy. When it’s cold, it’s my favorite sweater to wear. Love their lounge and workout tops.

[@playingthemomgame]

Good to know!

[@lb4lov]

My personal thoughts on cashmere and cotton. I always wear a cami or tee shirt under my cashmere. Not only does this help with the minimal itch, but most importantly protects the sweater from body oil, sweat, etc. Since they need to be hand washed and dried, the more wear I can get out of a sweater before having to wash them again the better. Regarding cotton, I don’t generally buy 100% cotton sweaters because they always stretch out and don’t look as nice, and require washing more often to get them back into their original shape.

[@carolbeck263]

Quince cashmere 👍🏼 black, camel, navy, just got the burgundy. Love! Organic cotton sweaters along with pants are good too. The best is the free shipping, and excellent customer service!

[@playingthemomgame]

I have not tried their pants but maybe I will!

[@emp2291]

What a great video! I've been bombarded with Quince ads and YTers I watch. Nice to have such an honest review. I like my clothing soft and non-constricting like you are so this was so helpful. Those shoes look comfy, so I'm going to take a look at the site. Love your channel! 🥰

[@playingthemomgame]

Thanks! Yep bombarded is the right word! I'll probably get even more ads now after ordering some items haha.

[@feliciaortega8062]

I’ve been so curious about Quince too! The ads are everywhere thanks for the review

[@kirish43]

I love quince. The silk that’s washable is so luxurious

[@playingthemomgame]

You’re welcome!

[@malloryjines5050]

I have 2 of the quince cashmere sweaters. I have NEVER had itch from these or any other cashmere sweaters I’ve ever owned. I’ll be buying more of these. As a side note, I bought one of their alpaca sweaters in pale grey. Beautiful pattern in the yarn and almost silver in color, but definitely itchy.

[@playingthemomgame]

Good to know!

[@lilybean1000]

I have a quince cotton cardigan- it’s regular length. I love it- it’s so comfy and just right amount t of “relaxed” to wear a shirt under it. But the fabric is really nice.

[@playingthemomgame]

Yes it is!

[@nikkil764]

Love my birdies. I have the pointy toe version in black velvet. Amazingly comfy and stylish.

[@playingthemomgame]

Good to know!!

[@suzy9301]

I have those Birdie shoes and I love them.

[@playingthemomgame]

Glad to hear that! I think I will wear them all the time 😀

[@captm9025]

I have purchased the cashmere hoodies from Quince. I love the feel. Not itchy. I will say that the cashmere will pill and get “fluffy”. I hope steaming them helps calm down the fuzzy look.

[@saraw8503]

All knitters have depill tools to shave off pills.

[@chandamarie6183]

I absolutely loved the blue cashmere sweater on you.

[@frenchiemomma201]

I found the sizing at Quince to be all over the place! I have several of their pieces. For example, I have a long sleeve white linen button down that I love. I purchased it in the blue and white stripe in the same size as the white. Well, the sleeves are way too long and so is the shirttail. It's also itchy! (But the white one isn't.)

[@playingthemomgame]

That’s good to know! I might have to try some of their other pieces besides the sweaters.

[@CarolynandherClothes]

I love my Quince cashmere. It’s actually better than several store brands cashmere (Macys, Bloomies, Nordstrom)

[@coletteNY]

LOVE Quince!

[@playingthemomgame]

I will probably try more!

[@00allison00]

Your Quince sweater, jeans and birdies shoes at the end was a great outfit! Thanks for your opinion on Quince, I have been so curious! Love that its organic!

[@playingthemomgame]

I am glad you found it helpful! I am interested to see what else they have!

[@kfb5583]

I have multiple Quince products, cashmere, leather and silk. I love all of their products.

[@playingthemomgame]

I keep seeing more ads so I may have to try more 😃

[@dvanhottie]

Quince lover. Picked up 3 linen dresses and athletic top and shorts over the summer. Just got in a cotton sweater in teak color. I’ve ordered small and medium. Clothes wash well and look great.

[@playingthemomgame]

I'm glad to hear they wash well!

[@darsig3317]

I like your casual attitude! I’ve been seeing tons of Quince ads, as well. I’m hyper-sensitive to textures so thank you for your honest review of the cashmere sweater. Both jeans looked great on you. And I’m going to have to try some Birdies. Thank you!

[@playingthemomgame]

You’re welcome!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kjab87]

Quince is one my favorites! Their cashmere sweaters are especially delightful. (Are there any sweaters that don’t attract pet fuzzies? Samoyed Velcro in our home.) Icing on top… their customer service is exceptional!

[@playingthemomgame]

Haha yep I see that in your profile image!

[@alisonva9494]

You are just so down to earth in your videos. I like the loafers and the Quince cardigan. I can't wear cashmere either because of the itch factor.

[@playingthemomgame]

So I'm not alone with the itchiness! It was just the slightest bit. Thank you for watching!

[@mcdonough312]

Just joined the Quince lovers and although like your testimony, the Mongolian cashmere sweater is beautiful! Not joining the Flock ….found too many other similar shoes/slippers for a fraction of the Birdie price tag! Can’t believe anyone wants/needs to pay that much for them. Thanks for the review. Nice job!

[@playingthemomgame]

Haha not joining the flock. That's ok! What other similar shoes have you found? Thanks for watching!

[@terizrioka4131]

I have several Quince sweaters, pants and shirts. I find sizing sort of a hit or miss thing. As long as you don't wear it no problem returning for 365 days. I find the quality to be very good.

[@playingthemomgame]

That’s an excellent return policy.

[@kalondiacasey]

I just found your channel and loved your honest opinion on these products. I just purchased a bunch from Quince. For the Cashmere, always wear a tank or tee under the sweaters as it helps with the itching and helps to protect the beautiful fabric. I love the Cashmere pieces I bought - they are so pretty and the price point was very good. I also bought some of the cotton pieces - most went back as they were huge on me. It's a learning process for sure. I've never heard of Birdies but now want to investigate further. You have a new subscriber. KC

[@playingthemomgame]

Thanks for being here! I did find the cotton ones a little oversized but I don't mind that fit too much depending on what the item is. It is definitely a learning process and often I have to try a few different sizes 😃

[@marlajames2376]

I love the tan striped sweater (looks very cute on you), and the Birdies!

[@playingthemomgame]

I like it too! It’s cute and really soft.

[@Mimi-ni3il]

i prefer Lillysilk, Banana Republic, COS and J. Crew for modern and classic cashmere. Also Reiss

[@julien4741]

This was very helpful. Thanks.

[@playingthemomgame]

I'm glad to hear this!!

[@angelaw6877]

I love your channel and your honesty. I hate shopping so I appreciate your honest review!

[@playingthemomgame]

Thank you! I feel like I’m just like everyone else trying this stuff only in front of a camera while doing it 😃

[@shireen1504]

Thank you very much for your honest review on Quince. I was about to order their cashmere sweater but itchy feeling is a big no for me.

[@playingthemomgame]

You’re welcome! Some people don’t think it is itchy but to me it was just enough!

[@conniepleasantnails]

Did you end up keeping the cotton sweaters. I am so glad you did this review I’m so on the fence about cashmere or anything itchy. Not trying to have my skin crawling this winter…🥴

[@jacobswife23]

I have the cotton cardigan and the Alpaca wool cardigan. Love them both. The cashmere does feel too itchy for me. Love quince. Greatly quality. I have lots of their stuff...but I can't do the cashmere. 😊

[@conniepleasantnails]

@@jacobswife23 Ok thank you

[@playingthemomgame]

I did keep the cotton ones but I haven’t worn them yet!

[@dawnkulan4514]

I was curious if you’d like the quince sweater! It’s the Mongolian fiber in with the cashmere. It’s a wool. I can’t tolerate that. It’s kept me from ordering it. I think that’s what helps them keep the price down. It won’t get better with washing. Great video!

[@playingthemomgame]

I didn’t think of that, that makes sense!

[@jennyjenkins877]

It's cool that Oliver Logan gave you a 20% discount link and it was nice of you to ask them for one!

[@playingthemomgame]

Yep! It's nice to get a discount especially since these items are a little on the higher priced side.

[@AnnettesMakeupCorner]

I don't know if it's just me, but Im not a cashmere fan either, I find it to always get so static and clingy that I never want to wear it. Maybe cause I live in such a dry climate... idk, but I've tried every trick mentioned online and it never works for me. I just recently bought two of the cotton sweaters from quince as well and I LOVE them! How tall are u for reference?

[@playingthemomgame]

I think I may be with you on the cashmere! I haven't tried a LOT of different items though so maybe I just haven't found the right one. I do love the cotton ones though! I am 5'6" 😊

[@deborah3912]

I love your honest reviews.

[@playingthemomgame]

Thank you!

[@judyzaino8172]

I buy a lot from Quince--quality and a great price. I just cannot wear cashmere-too warm and too itchy. Cotton all the way for me.

[@playingthemomgame]

Yes their cotton is really soft and comfortable!

[@lesann1896]

Thanks for being honest! So many influencers rave over Quince. Their styles are not anything unique! I’m so over sweats, lounge wear, oversized sweaters, boxy fit etc! Need some more unique special looking styles!Birdies are way too expensive!

[@playingthemomgame]

That’s why I needed to try it! 😃 The Birdies are definitely not cheap!

[@donnalipke998]

I love the Quince cashmere (and all Cashmere pills some, but that can be handled with a comb designed for that). I have 2 cashmere pieces from Quince that I love. I tried Good American jeans at Nordstroms and hated them. Love Wit and Wisdom and KUT From the Koth jeans the best, followed closely by Chicos jeans.

[@playingthemomgame]

I love Kut from the Kloth too! I have not tried Wit and Wisdom but maybe will have to :)

[@donnalipke998]

@@playingthemomgame if you buy Wit and Wisdom, then size down 1 size (I had to do this with the Kut from the Kloth jeans also). So far, the only place I’ve found the Wit jeans is Nordstroms, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only place (couldn’t find them on line at their own website like Kut jeans). Nordstroms is currently having a sale - I’m resisting a green pair of Wit jeans because I don’t need them! By the way, I had the same issue with the jeans you tried on in this video, felt like I had to keep tucking them on in the back when I tried them on.

[@pamelalanders2055]

Thanks for your review on the cashmere from Quince. I cannot wear wool due to itchiness, so now I know I can pass on this. Having said that, I have a cotton dress from Quince that I love. I will be looking for a cotton sweater from them.

[@playingthemomgame]

You’re welcome!

[@Stacyann_1]

I love your videos!! You’re like my body twin and value the same things in clothing I do. (I’ve told you this before) anyway, I was always wondering about those good American jeans and the birdies. Agree on the quince. Have a cotton sweater that is very nice though I always forget to wear it. I prefer hoodies and cardigans so much more bc I fluctuate between hot and cold so often (I’m 50 so it’s a thing 😅)

[@playingthemomgame]

Thank you!! I love body twins! 😆 I think the cotton sweaters from Quince feel like they are breathable but I agree something you can easily take off is nice.

[@kimclark399]

i agree that the cotton sweaters are the best. I am way too cheep to try the Birdies lol, but they look very comfy. Can you share which items you decided to keep?

[@playingthemomgame]

Yes they are comfy! I kept the cardigan, am exchanging the striped one for a medium, and exchanging the Birdies for the next size up 😊. Both jeans are going back this time although I would maybe try a different style from Oliver Logan sometime. The Birdies are expensive but I run pretty lean on shoes and don't have that many pairs so I'm ok with spending a little bit more!

[@sjsp7631]

Quince cashmere is itchy… thank you I feel validated. I do like their cotton pieces. My husband and son like the men’s flowknit

[@playingthemomgame]

I’m glad I’m not the only one! I didn’t know they have men’s clothing. I may have to check it out!

[@reallifewithali]

Obviously I am out of the minority here, but I have never heard of any of those brands. Haha. But they are cute. I love the oversized cream cardigan. I may go look at that one. I bought the same Old Navy green shirt…thanks to you! It’s so comfy and soft.

[@playingthemomgame]

Haha well now you’ve heard of them! You will probably start seeing those ads now too 😆 I love that Old Navy shirt too 😊

[@cardiac711]

Off topic. Where is your table set from?

[@playingthemomgame]

It’s from Pottery Barn! It’s called the Toscana and it’s 52” diameter so it’s nice and big. I bought the matching chairs on Facebook marketplace. I absolutely love the whole set!

[@ea1420]

I own that sweater from Quince and I like it for the price. I wouldn’t pay much more. Quince for me is generally pretty good for the price. It’s only an issue if you think you are getting the equivalent of a higher end brand for cheap.

[@playingthemomgame]

I bought everything on sale and since then I think it’s gone even more on sale so I agree the prices seem pretty reasonable!

[@TishaH]

great video! i keep seeing those same ads. just ordered a bunch of stuff from quince. want to try those birdies slippers but need arch support. thanks for your honest review! love your videos! 🤗

[@jillr759]

You get what you pay for. I would do a hard pass on that $50 sweater but their more expensive cardigans are nice, thin but in my CA mild winters they are perfect.

[@playingthemomgame]

We need some thicker stuff up here in MN where it gets nice and cold!

[@mvitro]

Any such support in the shoes?

[@playingthemomgame]

I think they have nice support but I don't typically have problems in that area with my feet so I may not be the best at giving this answer. I bet if you are curious you can reach out to their customer service! Also they have a really good return policy and according to their website you can wear them for 30 days to try them out 😊

[@rags3901]

I wear cashmere all the time…and it isn’t supposed to be itchy at all…should be very soft and not very prone to pills except in areas of wear…you do get what you pay for generally, which lets out a lot of what you see pushed in ads or on youtube, unfortunately. Quince isn’t as well done as advertised all the way around. A lot of these places are fine if you want one season only clothes, I guess.
