Returned it. Not worth the price. By J Bug from Newport RI on 06/16/2009 Cons: Color Not As Expected, Not soft enough, Thin material Describe Yourself: Classic Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This was purchased as a gift. For that price I expected a REALLY FINE sweater, but was disappointed by flat tan color and thin material. I expected a thick sumptuous heathered tan sweater. I returned it.
High Life from The Highlands By Franktc from NJ on 01/17/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, High Quality, Stylish, Warm Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: What attracts me to cashmere sweaters is how light-yet warm and extremely comfortable the sweater can be. The Johnstons of Elgin cashmere sweater I purchased is a dense, tight weave. Not such a loose-weave as say, Ralph Lauren's cashmere. I found that the advice of other individuals reviewing Johnstons of Elgin cashmere sweaters is quite correct; buy the next size up, you would normally purchase. In my case; a size 46 was a near perfect fit. I happily expect this sweater, and the next one I purchase, will give me many, many years of comfortable, stylish wear.

It doesn't pill up like cheaper (sometimes) asian imports and it holds it's shape. Good for the long haul.

beautiful but not right for my body type By Cashmere lover from Pittsburgh, PA on 12/17/2008 Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Formal Events, Going Out, Office Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Beautiful item but had to return because it didn't fit right for my body type. I usually wear a 44...I got a 46 and it was still too small in some areas (shoulders). Absolutely beautiful quality though. It doesn't get any better than this!
By Rangey from Pittsburgh, PA on 12/08/2008 Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Formal Events, Office Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, Stylish Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: this is by far the best sweater I've ever seen. You will not be disappointed if you get this. However, keep in mind it does run small. I usually wear a 44L. I ordered a 46 and its still on the tight side. I'm 6' 4" and its just long enough but could be another inch longer.
