But it’s appreciated by those of us who prefer to shop off-season. Gently used, higher end goods are often more easily accessible on the second hand market outside of their intended seasons.

We legitimately need a Teir list for everything, I like that you show loro piana products. It seems like no one makes, videos on the quality and fit of higher pieces.

Mostly not always, but mostly because to have a wardrobe full of loro, luca, brunello, cohen etc will cost easily upwards of £50,000. These brands are for people of £500,000 salary plus. Most KZreadrs I believe are rich but not this rich. So reviewing such products is out of reach. Apart from buying a singular piece and then returning it upon finishing their video. I could be wrong though 🤷🏾

Yay, you uploaded again. I’ve been watching your videos non stop for the past few weeks and made purchases based on your recommendations Keep up the good work keep uploading 😊

Means the world!

the cheaper sweaters always have shorter fibers and/or yarns and they are treated to feel soft in the beginning. These factors will make these sweaters look and feel 'ok' in the beginning but will get worse quick the more you wear them. With Loro Piana the sweaters are much more durable due to the long fibers and yarns and because of the quality of this the fabric stay soft or get even softer over time. I've had a variaty of cashmere sweater from different price points, and my conclusion is that the Loro Piana sweaters are the ones to go for: they are much better value and more sustainable as they will last waaaay longer thanks to the quality of the fabric.

Spot one to the findings of my video! I think if you’re wearing these frequently then the upper end ones are worth it but if it’s only a few times a year, a cashmere comb and the lower end ones will take you pretty far!

@joshknix1866

I still don’t think Loro Piana is worth it. Many great cashmere options under $1k. Asket is honestly a great brand, especially for the money.

It's also worth saying that even the best knitware will pill. But only initially. This is due to a few loose fibres being in the yarn, which are shaken out by washing and will then twist themselves into a ball. With quality knits, they'll pill a little after the first two or three washes and then never again.

@asim

Жыл бұрын

I haven’t dealt with Brunello personally but I’ve heard great things. I know they’re also known for their cashmere but wanted to include Loro Piana to compare their Baby Cashmere. As for the suit, I’ll be in traditional Indian wear for most ceremonies and will likely wear a tux for the reception. Not sure what brand I’ll do for the tux yet. I’m actually working on a suit video featuring Boss, SuitSupply and Tom Ford!

@torstenwolfel8053

Жыл бұрын

@Asim Momin Thank you for your reply. Can you possibly rate Brioni? It would be very interesting to see how the quality of the suits are.

The old Scottish cashmere is the best in my opinion. However, they're probably the least desirable out of the box since they do need a bit of "break-in" to really soften up...but they do last much longer than most other brands. But Italian cashmere is more appealing for modern consumers. Personally, cashmere is a issue in of itself. Anything resembling "durable" cashmere is extremely expensive. Because it's expensive, you're less likely to use/wear it. In turn, you'll probably buy the cheap environmentally destructive cashmere that'll find it's way into a landfill in a year.

Great vid and love the comparisons to show the diff quality at diff price points...watched the Polo vid and got some info on where to shop for my next polo...thx...I know you use Loro Piana as the high end comparison, but their products are so insanely overpriced...I was on their website browsing and checked out the Outerwear...coats and basic jackets priced at $9, 15 and even $27k...all quality items, but it appears they are just asking whatever price they like based on their reputation. Meanwhile you can find comparable items on other Italian clothing retailers, who use actual Loro Piana material to manufacture their offerings of very high end, stylish clothing, but at nowhere near the price Loro charges for similar items...Pini Parma comes to mind...saw a beautiful overcoat made of the LP wool priced at $800...LP would probably charge $8k for the same item...

When shopping for cashmere sweaters stay away from Club Room, sold by Macy’s. I once purchased a one their sweaters on sale for $49.99 and after a few wears the pilling was horrendous. Under the armpits and around the stomach area of the sweater were a pilled mess so I trashed it. Little did I know at the time that I purchased cheap cashmere

Learning experience!

Hard to say. Working in an office I avoid sweaters, pulls and cardigans. I know from experience Paul&Shark made very good woolen pullovers. For the rest what I have bought lately from 'woolen pulls' appears to be junk after a season. In synthetic cardigans and pulls German brands are very good. Not so cheap but form and colourfest. If I needed a good woolen pullover today I would go for a Fjällräven Övik Rib Sweater which costs 250 euros and is labeled as a 100% wool sweater.

Asim, you have one major flaw in this video: you didn't mention ply count, which is a major factor about which almost *all* manufacturers cut corners, including, based on the visuals of this video, every product that you talked about here. Thin cashmere with a low ply count of less than four (which is the default for most sweaters) is garbage and totally useless, because it's not going to keep you warm on a cold Winter day, as a result of how the companies who made such crap are skimping a lot on the low amount of material that they put into the sweater. If they don't publicly list the number of plys, then that's 100% for sure because they have cut corners & they are taking advantage of ignorant people who don't know any better, and won't realize that they are getting ripped off, and *that's why* the companies are not disclosing the ply count. If the number was a good one, then they *would* state it as a selling point to get more people to buy the item, and that is guaranteed.

Short-haired cashmere is pointless. It's characteristics come from it's length. Short cashmere is 90% the same as sheep wool. The Quince one is the biggest rip-off on this list, it should be $30. I'm glad to hear it fit you so well but that's nothing to do with the material.
