Received my cashmere crewneck in light grey and the light blue oxford, both size large...
First, the oxford...not overly impressed. USA made. Buttons are nice, remind me of the chalk buttons on Gitman Vintage or vintage Lands End Hyde Park, except not as thick. Fabric is decent, weight is similar to J. Crew or Gap, maybe with a slightly better hand. Cut is slim (as Nan has mentioned here). I'm a large in Gitman and this fits slimmer, higher cut armholes and slim across the chest. The bottom hem flare isnt as pronounced as some thought, not as noticable as a Gitman. Construction seems ok. The stitching on the all of the buttonholes isn't finished, so the buttons kept getting caught on the threads. Overall, the shirt was just OK and was slightly too tight across the chest, so its going back...
The cashmere sweater, pretty nice. Again, the weight/ density is similar to J Crew cashmere. Made in China, not necessarily a deal breaker for me. Fit is great, slim but not tight, consistent w/ t-shirt sizing. Hard to speak to the quality of the cashmere (for the price). Very soft, but I hope it wears better over time and doesn't pill like Uniqlo, J. Crew, et al. However, looking at J. Crew cashmere prices ($225 for a comparable crewneck), this is a much better value.
