i know loro piana isnt too popular here in terms of consumption but their cashmeres are pretty substantial. very nice. i dont know how they will hold up though, i base my criteria on that.

i used to love the thought of a cashmere suit or pant, but the thought of it pilling and threadbaring after only a few wears i dont toy with that thought anymore. mainly wools for me. or if cashmere, it better be TIGHTLY wound

Well, I've been happy with the Loro Piana cashmere I've had experience with. However, there is no question that the construction of the knitwear is not at the level of what the Scottish makers do.

Between the 2, probably Lora Piana
