Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

[ppk]

I have a couple of things from Heimat. I find the quality very nice. The aesthetic is rugged, inspired by sailors and the like.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

How difficult would it be to take care of a natural/beige cashmere coloured outerwear piece like this jacket?

Would it last a season before requiring dry cleaning? Would it look like new after a dry clean? Cheers

I would avoid it unless you pass seamlessly from home to car to office or ski slope. It will show every little thing.

If I felt compelled to purchase it but in a bomber-style, do you think it’d be possible to spot clean it?

On the spreadsheet I notice there is a brand I am have not heard of that has a 5 star rating, does anyone have an experience of Mauro Ottoviani? are they inhouse or are they made by another supplier when I have googled not much comes up and they don't seem that well known for their cashmere

Don't torture yourself. Spot cleaning doesn't work very well.

That's an interesting brand you mentioned. From google result, looks like they are a brand known for its knitwear. It feels like the brand definitely can be capable of making high quality cashmere sweater.
