Cashmere keeps you about 8 times warmer than any other fabric and it really shows in the Winter. I was wearing a Cashmere Dress from mongolia (I dont think it's the highest quality) but when I forgot my coat in the car and we had to wait for 1 hour outside, oh yes...I noticed how Cashmere kept me warmer than any other fabric....like magic. I think that's the whole purpose of Cashmere
We buy grade A cashmere fibre from Mongolia for about 140-150 USD/Kg usually at 15.5 microns avg, but it being a short fibre, we lose some during dyeing, combing, spinning and weaving in-house. We supply indirectly to few of the brands mentioned above, and they usually use grade B for sweaters and grade A for scarfs, depends on if it’s next to skin or not. Blends are not always to cut cost and it increases avg length and helps us process cashemere.
I appreciate all the content you present and I wish you and your company every success. It's such a pleasure to know there is still quality to be found.
OK, we've established that budget cashmere is inferior compered to the better grades of cashmere, but how does it fare compared to the finer textured sheep wools, like Merino? For a light, layering sweater, which is the better buy-budget cashmere or a solid, middle-grade Merino?
The Modern Rogue channel on youtube has some good information on similar topics off the top of my head I know they have several videos on Whiskey, Cigars, Pipe smoking, Cocktails, etc. Also most of those videos include a guest that is an expert in that field.
Club Room cashmere sweaters have been my mom's go-to Christmas gift for me for a while and up until the past 2 years, they've been great. I tried on a new color (salmon pink) in the store this year and noticed how incredibly thin they have become - I could see my undershirt through it. They finally cut a big corner on quality and I think I've got enough of the better ones in my closet now.
Yes, I bought one this year and I can see my shirt thru it. I liked the sweater and decided to keep it. Too bad we can't find the same quality as before anymore.
so what i got from this video is..if it cost more it should reflect the quality. if this is true think of BMW cars-they are expensive and they cost a lot to repair compared to Honda/Toyota but German cars are made with SUPERIOR parts, right? so why is that they're sent to the mechanic much more often compared to Japanese cars which are made with INFERIOR parts? at the end of the day every brand is out to pitch a sale to the consumer.
Thank you for raising awareness for the environmental impact of our purchase decisions. 🙏🏻✨Quality over quantity. Let’s hope this sentiment will prevail.
Thank you for clearing up that topic. I'm glad to have bought a nice sheer wool scarf for my brother and not getting fooled to buy a kashmir one for just a few bucks more.
Preston I must admit after viewing your video on budget cashmere and considering the options available this will certainly help me to make a more consumer conscience purchase and lessen the chance of being "cashed" out thanks for the video!😄
None of this is specific to budget cashmere retailers. I have several Ralph Lauren Purple Label cashmere sweaters. I also have a Brunello Cucinelli cashmere sweater and I don’t remember any info of where it came from on the product pages. I’ve had those sweaters for about 7-8 years and they still look great, but I’m pretty sure they had no information about the cashmere on the tags or the product pages when I bought them. I have several cashmere blends from other brands that I have had for a while and they have held up well. I actually prefer the cashmere silk blends and think they hold up pretty well.
I have told my family for years that cost is not a reason to purchase any particular item. I'd rather spend the money for quality then get a less expensive item. Which makes me a somewhat difficult client regarding clothing. That doesn't disregard fabric construction, material or fit.
I can ALWAYS count on Fort Belvedere for true quality. They take pride in being the REAL McCoy... I ordered several cashmere V-necks this year from NADAAM, and Everlane, four in total. They're nice and overall pretty good cashmere sweaters, but I have pilling now on the Navy one, and you can kind of just tell that they are not....top top of the line. I knew it when I looked at the NADAAM catalogue only to see hoodies and sweat suits made out of the same cashmere for relatively low prices. I'm glad I purchased the V-necks...but that will be enough from those companies. I'd rather from now on, save up, pay more, get higher quality. Thank you.
I have found some absolutely lovely cashmere garments at thrift stores, for almost no $$$. Plus, I figure that if it still looks decent after it's been worn and washed enough for someone to donate it out of their wardrobe, it's bound to be decent-enough quality to hold up to anything I throw at it, lol. Talk about "budget" cashmere!
FYI Saks Fifth Ave’s site has terrible descriptions, to the benefit and detriment of their products. For example, they don’t mention online that their 100% cashmere topcoat is made of Loro Piana fabric.
You’re right, but not even Loro Piana gives these details as a matter of routine. Sometimes I’ve seen it from them, but NOT always. The industry does not want the micron measurement to become the norm at the retail level. A wealthy buyer will not buy the cheap stuff anyway, and providing the microns will only deter the budget buyer. Nonetheless, anyone buying the $55 “cashmere” sweater is still buying something at least equal to wool, as far as the material is concerned. Budget cashmere generally isn’t worse than wool (excepting specialty wool like some merino wools or Zegna’s 15 milmil 15.)
I have a jcrew cashmere herringbone sweater. Do like it a good bit. Let’s see how it lasts. If not long, it’s ok bc I got it on sale w my student discount. Was $110 but I paid about 35. I still prefer wool for environmental reasons but I really liked this design. Perhaps I will make it into gloves or a scarf if it begins falling apart.
When I was a little girl in Panama a rich American came to our town and he was wearing the softest, most beautiful sweater and I said what do you call this beautiful fabric? And he said Cashmere. He threw some change at me. Oh, but I didn't want the change, I wanted the cashmere
I got the same v neck in navy. I agree it does feel delicate to the touch but it works well and since I use it sparingly I tend to keep mine for awhile.
Thank you for the information. I have dozens of sweaters......all mostly merino wool. After this video, I would not assume to know about the quality of my Merino sweaters, but they are soft and warm. My wife brings me home sweaters from Kiev when she vacations there every year. She buys the from a retailer/factory company. These sweaters are attractive, not heavy, but suprisingly warm. Very nice colors too! For me....better to spend less money on a high quality merino, than "out of my budget" quality cashmere. ......also, after this video......I question if it would be a good idea to buy any cashmere if I came into money?
Really glad to see you highlighting the tremendous negative impact rampant demand for such things causes, Preston. Sod Cashmere, I'd rather buy something sustainable thanks.
The "sustainable" fibers are what's actually causing the problem... Your kind I what's wrong with this world .. instead of being on TH-cam, you should read up on the emissions caused by "sustainable" fibers
I enjoyed most of this video, unil you got to the portion on impact. Like many graded products the difference between high quality cashmere and low quality cashmere is often in the selection process. Just like the walnut bits and pieces are from the same orchards and the beautiful walnut halves the short fibers are often off the same goats as the long fibers, just from a different part of the body. Top end high quality cashmere as a result is just as responsible for the grazing and habitat degradation seen in Mongolia and Western China.
Yeah but the point is, you wont need to buy a new cashmere product for a while since genuine high-end cashmere are more durable. You cant stop the environmental impact but you can definitely slow it down.
@@royalgurung9694 well, things still go out of fashion. But the goat that makes the high quality sweater that will last for years is going to also yield other lower quality fibers that will make products that won't.
First time I bought cashmere jumpers was year 2014, from H&M. They were on sale and the price was around 30 Euro each! OMG Can you believe it! Literally for free! Even for me as a poor student. I did not know much about cashmere back then but I could see and feel, the fabric is not good grade fabric. But it does not bother me as being able to even own a cashmere jumper was a big deal. Now with inflation etc sadly the prices are almost never under 100 euro. But I refuse to buy H&M cashmere now, I don't want to pay 150-200 euros for a low grade cashmere :/ I now own a jumper from the brand Davida and man what a differens from the H&M ones I got a decade ago! The H&M ones are course in feel, not as fluffy and they pill a lot etc. Davida one feels like its from an other dimension, much softer, denser, no pilling etc. But yes this brand does not state information about their fibers aswell. I also have a jumper from Falconeri on the way. I think it most probably has same quality as the Davida one and yes they too has no information about fibers. BUT they both for sure are atleast miles better quality in fibers compared with H&Ms cashmere :). I can't afford to pay more than 200 euroes for cashmere jumper so I am happy these brands exist. Except the environment aspect to it:( Thats the fault of our high consumers society:/
Gobi cashmere best budget cashmere with varying quality from near best quality to lowest quality cashmere. Just read the transparent information provided to “most” but not all their products. Most will include 14-16 microns, from what part of Mongolia, organic (softer) than dyed cashmere. Only length of each cashmere is not provided. So you can get grade A cashmere but often Grade B or C.
I’m glad you’ve mentioned the severe environmental impact cashmere has..This has certainly made me rethink wanting to buy a cashmere sweater, thank you!
At the price of high quality cashmere, I prefer high quality merino, it can be really soft, and how soft does one need a sweater to be ? Let alone ties, suits etc, there softness is useless imho.
I bought a sweater at a thrift store where the labels say it's cashmere by Cesare Gatti. I dunno to trust it or not. It's a bit big so I wear it around the house in winter.
When and if you guys ever reach 10 million subs or maybe 5 million, Some milestone you should do a video on vicuña and other extreme luxury fabrics and wools that costs as much as cars and sometimes houses.
@@FoxyPercival714 Probably talking about vegans. They think that all animals are treated badly by humans, so they bad-mouth all animal products, including cashmere. Such ignorance. As demonstrated in this video, cashmere is sourced from animals that aren't mistreated. If they were mistreated, it would harm both the producers' bottom line and the quality of the cashmere.
It's endlessly frustrating when companies do that. But the durability of even quality cashmere sucks. Adding merino substantially increases the durability of the garment. Personally, once you get to about 30% cashmere, the feel is almost imperceptible from 100% cashmere unless you have exceptionally sensitive skin.
It's funny to see how Uniqlo is a low end brand for clothes in America meanwhile here in the Philippines, Uniqlo products are something we save our money for 😂
Honestly, I wouldn't buy cashmere for anything but beanies and scarves. Good cashmere is insanely expensive and it still won't last when exposed to regular use.
Suits, yes. Sweaters, also yes but it is very difficult and time consuming so few tailors will do it. You can learn to on your own though, I would recommend starting with a very cheap sweater, possibly thrifted so that mistakes aren’t costly. The thicker the yarn, the easier it is to work with using knitting needles. If it is very thin and fine, a sewing machine on certain settings can be used, but handsewing is probably better.
3:51 Good that you show combing can be done without animal suffering. You just need to distract animal from pain by some food. Shearing was advertised as more ethical just to make people buy more
Pretty disappointed you didn't provide even one counterexample of high quality cashmere with an associated description of the material used and its providence. I don't mind the FB sponsor spots in every video but it's largely unfair to criticize multiple manufacturers without providing any alternatives or examples of such apart from your own business. Since you only offer accessories it's not giving anyone a competitive advantage.
That was the point of the video. Companies don't have to show what grade their cashmere is and if they do show their cashmere grade, companies can lower costs in the manufacturing process not just materials. Jcrew for example, uses above average materials compared to other mall brands but they save money when they manufacture the materials in clothes
I love how Preston's puns are supposed to be bad but are actually very good! :)

Came for the cashmere info, stayed for the Preston puns 😎
My dream blend would be 70% cashmere/30% cotton. It thus poses an issue for the market because such a blend would be very hardwearing...
