The cashmere sweater is generally well-received as a high-quality, soft, and comfortable garment. Customers praise its classic style, versatile fit, and warm yet lightweight feel. Many report owning multiple colors and wearing the sweater frequently, indicating its durability and usefulness. However, some customers have noted issues with the quality and fit in recent years, such as the material being thinner and more prone to pilling, as well as inconsistent sizing across different color options. A few customers also found the neckline to be too tight or restrictive.
Fit and color as advertised, but it has the weight and charm of a sweatshirt.

Just Right

Am anxious to wear this really pretty sweater in the fall. After a quick try on, the PM has the perfect sleeve length. I love the silver blue heather color.

Cashmere too thin
Fit: A little small
Returned because the cashmere wool is too thin, and fragile. Not very good quality for a hundred dollar sweater from LL Bean.
