Just The Tips: How To Care For Cashmere
UNIQLO V Neck Cashmere Sweater, $99.50
It was all good just a winter ago: Wifey came through with a fresh cashmere sweater for Xmas and you rocked it hard until the frost fell off. Then it got warm, so you stashed it with your thermals and skullies and other cold-weather shit. Well, when winter came ’round this year and you went back for your favorite sweater…damn. Now it’s full of holes and stretched out more than Tara Reid’s ass.
So how can you avoid this dilemma? It takes one goat four years to grow enough wool for one cashmere sweater, so treat it'the sweater and the goat'with the respect it deserves. For our tips on how to care for cashmere, see below…
1. FOLD YOUR CASHMERE PIECES BEFORE YOU HANG THEM.
Hanging them straight like a button-up will stretch them out and cause shoulder nipples.
2. STORE YOUR CASHMERE WITH CEDAR BLOCKS.
Cashmere is moth caviar'try these to keep ‘em away.
3. DRY CLEAN TWICE A SEASON.
Avoid handwash shrinkage.
