    Cashmere's rep doesn't matter to me. It's still wool, so I'm allergic to it. Boo.

    I love cashmere too and cashmere sweaters don't really itch like other regular wool sweaters.

    Cashmere is great - when you find it in lower end stores (like Banana Republic) it's sooooooo thin and way overpriced for the ply that it is IMO. I've bought cashmere from "inexpensive" stores on sale and it's not worth it. But the good stuff is well worth it - and it lasts forever. Just take good care of it.

    Cashmere is okay. I've always thought it was still pretty scratchy and it's such a pain in the butt to maintain. I prefer merino, or a cashmere-merino blend. Soft and cuddly without the itchiness!

    Cashmere makes me itch, too. Poor hubby spent a ton on a sweater for me as a gift-- I can't wear it, even with another shirt underneath! Yay for cotton.

    cashmere feels nice, but I don't ONLY wear cashmere. If I like it, and the price is right, I'll get it. Otherwise, cotton works just as well for me. Smiling

    Cashmere is luxurious, but it depends on the quality. You'll have to pay even more for the really good stuff, but it will last you forever. My favorite are the J. Crew cashmere hoodies.

    cashmere is great but like everything else there's the good kind and the bad kind...the cheaper ones aren't that great because they pill and these are usually the ones you get from target (stretch and pill...completely loses its shape)...the more expensive kind are expensive for a good reason...either it's woven differently, or they use a different dye process....there's always something...

    I totally agree with bdlgoldens! Cashmere and Bacon forever! But the truth is that cashmere is better, Loro Piana cashmere being the best. I will let you all in on a little secret, J Crew cashmere is made in the same factory as Loro Piana therefore using the same cashmere! And JCrew cashmere sweaters are $150 to $200! As opposed to Loro Piana which start at $1000! Go on the site now and grab as many as you can! I only wear cashmere and all of it comes from J Crew! Trust me, they are well worth it and totally affordable! Cashmere and Bacon forever!

    what's with all the bacon? ewwwww. cashmere still exists in my wardrobe but since it comes from an animal i imagine the cheaper stuff means = more torture for the animal.

    I've never really been a cashmere fan, but it does feel nice and soft. It is overpriced in my opinion, I feel the most comfy in cotton stuff. Smiling
