How it wears is a result of the cashmere fiber's length. Micron width affects how soft it is.

I'm well aware of where the raw goods come from. I was responding to AF's statement about the quality of LP's cashmere.

"Hard to beat Loro Piana for yarn quality".

Isn't the Cucinelli cashmere made in Italy? That's very fine.

Lotsa good weavers in Italy as well, though I've always found the Scottish a little "heartier."

Me too, I think it would look really great with some 'cinnamon' colored pants, or another shade of warm brown, and a gray herringbone jacket.

Seems to be a good deal and this is indeed the time of year to stock up on cashmere.
