Thoughts on Kiton Cashmere VS BC

New to the forum, hopefully I’m posting this in the correct place. I’ve been looking at a Kiton Cashmere V Neck sweater and wanted to know if anyone can offer insight into durability and quality. I have some Cucinelli sweaters and they are great but wanted to know how they compare to Kiton.

I will be wearing it alternating between my other knitwear. Thanks

I can't speak for durability, but in general Kiton is among the S tier for menswear brands along with Brioni, Attolini, etc.

I would buy Kiton before anything made by Cucinelli, but that's just me. Cucinelli is of course very nice (though their suits are vastly inferior to Kiton, though I know you are not asking about suits here).

In my experience, my BC and Kiton cashmere pieces don’t seem to really pill. They’re great. In contrast, newer LP and their baby cashmere stuff does. So I consider BC and Kiton to be my best sweaters.
