I'd love to see examples of what you're working on, David

I like them both, but probably wouldn't order a cashmere for myself. What is the one on the left made from? What does "Cal" mean?

"Cal" = The University of California, Berkeley... which may (or may not) be a sticking point with those who attended other UC schools.
