No tags, but soft, attractive and a killer price
I honestly cannot confirm that this sweater is either 100% cashmere or 100% merino wool - it's listed as both in the product description - because there are no fabric content tags. In fact, there are no tags or markings of any sort, not even a brand tag. So here's what I can say: the material (whatever it may be) is soft, lightweight and has a nice drape. I bought two of these sweaters, one in black and the other in vermillion. The black is black - not much can be said about that - and the vermillion is a vibrant coral-pink that is very much as I expected from the listing photos. The workmanship is comparable to the more expensive cashmere or merino sweaters I have purchased elsewhere, and the collar band and cuffs are wide, which offers some visual interest to an otherwise plain sweater. As for the sizing, I expected these sweaters to run small, so I purchased them in the largest available size: 3XL. This is about a US medium, a little loose in the body area, but snug in the sleeves. I'm okay with this; it's pretty much as I had expected. So why would I give an unbranded sweater with an unknown fabric composition 5 stars? The price. Even with the added shipping charge, these sweaters were $10.51 each, so I can forgive a lot of sins for a price like that. If I only get one wear per month over the next year from each of these sweaters - which is my expectation based on the dubious fabric content - my cost-per-wear will be under $1 and I will be satisfied. If, on the other hand, they are actually 100% cashmere or merino wool, and I can keep them for many years to come, I will be delighted. Read more
