Out of curiousity, which are your favorite original manufacturers (that still produce)?
I'm a big fan of Cruciani and Loro Piana (though the LP mark-up is huge). I don't know who produces Paul Stuart's Italian or Scottish cashmere. I've heard good things about Lockie on this forum, but I don't know how they fit and am not willing to bother with the hassle of ordering and returning.
My best practices are to stick to the original manufacturers and not overpay based on brand. I'd also stay away from fashion brands for cashmere or anyone that relies on marketing to boost sales.
