Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

[happydayz1]

I love small bussineses, they are so much more friendly and accommodating. been speaking with the owner of Jadd shoes and can not be happier.

Speaking of the discolouration, I wonder if it was caused by long term storage with damp conditions. We get this alot with second hand cotton and we simply just bin them especially whites.

Moisture can be a cause I believe, including sweating, but in this case as the sweater was unworn and although a rare occurrence they suspect the cause was storage in direct sunlight for an extended period of time when in the factory. The discolouration is also right across where it would have been folded so it could have been that section alone exposed to repeated sunlight when in storage.

This was my thought too.

And in good news they have an exact replacement!

They are going to check their stock room this morning so fingers crossed they have the same or an alternative colour as the sweater itself is a very nice quality piece.

Wasn’t aware of this business, but their offerings are great. Seems like an excellent source for J. Laing, so well done, thanks!

Glad that worked out for you...you are lucky since you get the same colour+same size
Remember to inspect this one too (but i bet the people there will inspect this before shipping now)also take some photos.
That yellowing can be
1) Storage in the above 30C with something heavy on it (like a metal bar) to keep the garments more compact and this one being on top of the pack
2) Moisture from people maybe trying in in the store and forgot to reshape it and maybe trying to wash it before place it for long storage
3) Some dying process failing on the horizontal and not inspected correctly on the mannequin and direct light
4) washing and put in storage after within a sunlight small bar , based on where it is, it can from storage it folded and sunlight direct blast on that folded part

From my point of view, like people from Colombo and other serious makers...this is the way you treat your customer because in this age of internet, if you dont treat your customers with respect, the bad customer support is spread in seconds over the internet and put your brand into the black list for many over the world

It seems quite unlikely to me that it could be some fault in the dying process, as this is clearly not a dyed garment, but one made of dyed garn.

i didnt said that and you are right, those issues are more uniform on the garment and not like in this particularly scenario , i was placing all the reasons that can go to this yellowing behaviour
Its more likely point 1 or 4 from what i can see

Can anyone recommend a plain crewneck in camel hair? William Lockie is sort of my go-to for knitwear but they only seem to have camelhair cardigans. Rubato has one but I think their style runs way too short in the body for me.

I have just been onto the seller and they have handled it excellently and will facilitate a replacement, which I do appreciate as some time has passed since the date of purchase.

This is a good reminder for me as to the benefits of dealing with small family owned businesses as the customer service can really set them apart from your larger organisations.

Great news very pleased for you
Who were the sellers if you don’t mind me asking

He mentioned in couple pages ago. I believe the seller is Monaghans Cashmere in Ireland

Specifically, I am quite fond of the William Lockie cable-knit crewneck and V-neck made for Ben Silver in the US (please see image below), and I am craving for a cable-knit camelhair waistcoat in its natural (undyed) color.

So, I just quoted myself from few pages back but with a good reason: I have stumbled on an old William Lockie cable-knit camelhair waistcoat sold in the second-hand market, and I am just posting it for an idea of what the above-said might be IRL. I reckon that its photography does not do it justice, its color is not correctly depicted, not to mention that it is a quite large size, so no sleek silhouette here; still, it certainly does bring an old-school, vintage aesthetic for those who fancy it:

Best,

Dimitris

I certainly would like to own that lovely knit piece. Visible the old William Lockie label.

Obviously, me too!

And its twin in Flannel Super Geelong or Cashmere would be equally awesome!

I think that my future Flannel Waistcoat MTO has found a more interesting make-up; we shall see...



Best,

Yes, it's time.
Don't know exactly, but the webshop is coming soon since an eternity.
