Our cashmere comes from one region, Alashan in northwestern Inner Mongolia, where the goats grow a fine, long undercoat. We knit it into a classic button-up cardigan with shell buttons and a ribbed crewneck. Button it all the way for a neat sweater look, or wear it open over a tee, a silk blouse or a dress. Keep one at your desk or in your travel bag for cool rooms. With 29 colors, this cardigan for women is easy to match to anything.

How we measure. Every measurement is taken with the garment laid flat and unstretched. Chest: straight across, 1" below the armholes, then doubled. Length: from the top of the shoulder next to the collar, straight down to the hem. Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. Shoulder: straight across the back, from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
Knitwear is measured by hand, so allow up to ½" either way. To compare, lay a piece that fits you well flat and measure it the same way.
Care
Hand wash cold with a gentle wool or cashmere wash. Press the water out without wringing, roll it in a towel, and dry it flat. Dry cleaning works too. Store it folded, not on a hanger. Button it before washing so it keeps its shape. Read the full cashmere care guide.

FAQ
What does micron mean, and why does it matter?
Micron measures how thick each fiber is. The finer the fiber, the softer it feels. US law caps cashmere at 19 microns on average, and most sweaters sold today fall between 16.5 and 19. Ours are 15.7 microns or finer.
Will it itch?
Itch comes from coarse fibers pressing on the skin. At 15.7 microns or finer there are far fewer of them, so most people wear it straight on skin. Very sensitive skin may still notice it at the neck, and a thin layer underneath solves that.
Will it pill?
All natural fibers pill a little where they rub. Long 34 to 36 mm fibers have fewer loose ends, so pilling stays light and settles after the first few wears. A cashmere comb removes it in a minute.
How do I choose my size?
It is true to size with a classic fit. Size up if you're between sizes or want to wear it over a thicker layer.
How do I style a cardigan?
Wear it buttoned on its own as a sweater, open over a tee or blouse, or draped over a dress. It also layers under a coat.
Will it shrink or stretch?
Not with the right care. Hand wash cold, press out the water, and dry it flat. Don't hang it wet.
