Land's End Cashmere sweaters....?

[1969]

Considering my first cashmere sweater...should I pay $129 for a new one from LE, or hold out for something in the $200 range on the B&S board?

Check Yoox.com, they might have something on sale or new for a nice price, see this thread

Older LE's aren't too bad, but you can do better. I'd rather have a J Crew than one of the LE's. If you don't mind older stuff ebay has a lot of excellent quality cashmere for pretty cheap (eg, Alan Paine, etc.).

Sierra Trading Post has quite a lot of cashmere listed at present, too.
I think that there are a few 20% off codes floating around at present, which will make any STP purchase even more affordable.

Brooks Made in Scotland Cashmere is really nice.

Check ebay often and you might be able to snag something nice for around $100. I see a lot of RLBL cashmere for that price and I think it's a good value. Or stick around here--I got a RLPL black cashmere crewneck from the B&S board recently and it's really nice--silky smooth and soft as a baby's bottom but substantial enough that it won't pill, fluff or stretch after a few wears. It's more decadent than Blue Label so you'll pay a little more. I also don't know how Land's End compares with RLBL, so maybe someone else can chime in.

I would not waste the $ on LE. My wife got one and it pilled VERY quickly. For a quality sweater, I'd just as soon pay more to get more....
