I am very disappointed with the quality of this hoody. The cashmere is poor. I suppose that is why it was such a low price. I should have known, you get what you pay for! I have kept it, but it isn’t going to be worn anywhere that matters!

This is my fifth hoody from you 🙂 Love it

Sadly I agree with Annette Butterworth – the quality is not good. I have 4 of these hoodies and the best one is the tan coloured one…..it is soooo soft. It’s a shame the black one feels like normal wool, NOT like pure cashmere.

I have bought scarfs in the past from MyPashmina which I was very pleased with, so no surprise with this hoodie. Delivery is superb, so quick . Hoodie is lovely, looks good on and the size is true. I ordered mine to use primarily for wearing going to and from the gym instead of a fleece, it works for me. Re above comments, I did have to wash mine first but don’t use biological powder. It is very thin ply but that does work for this style. Real test is how long it lasts!

Denna fantastiska favorit … den värmer och är snygg och väger ingenting, och den är så otroligt användbar. Jag har den i stort sett varje dag, till precis allt: casual, festkofta, som värmeplagg under jacka, att dra på efter träning … verkligen allt. Priset blir väldigt lågt om man räknar kostnaden per dag : )
