Cashmere is a true luxuary but also practical. It is, of course, soft and feels great but also has a very high warmth to weight ratio. I bought this in the green and really like it, it is a nice forest green. It also ran true to size. It is not heavy but rather a very good thickness because being cashmere it will keep you warm and much thicker would have been overkill.

My only fault is that the cuffs were not done very well. It looks like they will probably fray pretty easily, there is no elastic. It came out of the bag looking like they would get loose fairly soon. This should not have happened for what this costs (even on Amazon), as it is not an inexpensive sweater. But given my overall liking of the sweater I felt it still deserved a 4 or perhaps 3.5 stars, I rounded up because I would buy it again.

Lastly it is dry clean only and the tag that came with it identified it as being made by sofiacashmere which is a big cashmere company selling mostly to major 'high-end' department stars. I would recommend it, it really is a very nice item to get for a friend, family member, or yourself. A relatively affordable luxary...but be prepared to be disappointed with the cuffs.
