This is some different type of cashmere. I swear it has some kind of wool blended in - I have several cashmere sweaters - they are soft. This has a wool feel to it - itchy. Lint sticks to it like crazy. It says dry clean but I washed it - now it feels like acrylic. I wear it around the house - not up to a quality level to wear any where else. Not worth the the $65. Cannot recommend it at all. I gave it 2 stars because it's a true navy & was delivered very quickly.
