The verdict
Fit
Cardigan cut offers layering; the 3-button cuff is a refined detail. Cashmere molding to your body is part of the long-term appeal.
Quality
Cashmere quality is typical of Turnbull & Asser's standard. At $360, the steep discount suggests clearance age rather than quality issues.
Is the price fair?
At $360 for cashmere cardigan, this is a bargain if the piece is unflawed. Rust is a forgiving dye that hides minor wear.
Best for
A savvy luxury shopper comfortable buying clearance cashmere and willing to inspect for any hidden defects.
Care
Hand wash in cool cashmere shampoo; rust can shed slightly, so lay flat to dry and brush gently once dry.
What owners report about Turnbull & Asser sweaters
Genuine third-party coverage of Turnbull & Asser's knitwear is sparse and lives almost entirely on menswear forums, but what exists is positive: Styleforum members rate the cashmere sweaters as very good quality and note the knitwear is produced by a specialist Scottish cashmere mill. One owner reports his piece shows no signs of problems, while cautioning he hasn't put many miles on it yet. Owners consistently treat full retail as expensive and say the value case is strongest during the brand's seasonal sales, when they report substantial markdowns.
- Strengths
- Scottish-milled cashmere that the owner reports available consistently rate as very good quality.
- Watch out for
- High full-retail pricing is the main caution — forum members advise waiting for seasonal sales — and long-term durability reports are scarce.
