Recycled Cashmere Hooded Pullover - Black

Hoodies

$595as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at James Perse

The verdict

A hooded recycled cashmere layer at $595. Solid choice for casual layering; recycled fiber offers good durability-to-cost ratio.

Fit

Hooded pullovers in this line fit close through the shoulders with some roominess in the body. Hood sits naturally without bulk.

Quality

Recycled cashmere is durable and softens with wear. At $595, expect careful finishing and a garment that resists pilling better than lighter virgin blends.

Price check

Fair pricing for a recycled-cashmere hooded piece. No obvious brand tax; the cost reflects fiber and construction honestly.

Best for

Someone seeking a casual, refined hooded layer that can handle regular wear without guilt about damaging a high-end fiber.

Care

Hand-wash separately; lay flat to prevent hood deformation during drying.

Fit check: James Perse

True to size

Owners report James Perse's numeric sizing (0=XS up to 5=XXL) runs true to size, with a deliberately relaxed, California-casual cut rather than a slim one.

Reviewers and sizing guides agree the numbered sizing maps predictably to standard sizes and stays consistent across tees, tanks, long sleeves, and sweats — one long-term owner wears the same size 1 across every James Perse product she owns. The caveat owners flag is that the house cut is intentionally roomy: tees and sweats read slightly relaxed at your true size, so people wanting a trim fit sometimes size down, while button-ups and polos can wear looser than the marked size suggests. On the women's side, fitted jersey pieces are the exception — reviewers note the skinny and fitted styles run small, and pants are cut long.

Sizing advice: Take your usual size converted to the number scale (0=XS, 2=M, 3=L); size down only if you want a trim fit in the relaxed tees and sweats, and size up in fitted jersey styles.

What owners report about James Perse hoodies

Owners consistently describe James Perse's lightweight cotton knits as exceptionally soft, and that hand-feel is the main reason people pay the price. Durability is the recurring complaint across the range: reviewers report the delicate knits pill with ordinary wear even under careful washing, and one customer reported a hole in a sweatshirt after 40 days, with the store declining an exchange. Even a largely positive decade-long owner calls pilling at this price 'a tough pill to swallow' and recommends gentle-cycle washing and air drying. The pattern owners describe is exceptional softness that requires careful handling and may not last in proportion to cost.

Strengths: Reviewers repeatedly single out the soft, lightweight feel of the cotton knits as the best thing about the line.
Watch out for: Pilling and early holes are what fail first — owners report pilling from normal wear and washing, and at least one sweatshirt developed a hole within about six weeks.
Sizing: James Perse uses numeric sizing (roughly 0-4); a long-term owner reports the sizing is consistent across styles and runs true to size.
