Living in South Florida, one doesn't get to wear cashmere very often.  But, I bought this anyway as the price was right, and it does get chilly down here in the winter from time to time.  Well, today I finally got a chance to wear it!  It's nice, warm and soft.  It's not top of the line quality, but it's okay for the price.  It doesn't itch and it's warm, but not too warm.  I do wish it was a little longer; it hits just below the tummy.  But, like I said, for the price it's totally worth it.
