I Tested 8 "Cashmere" Sweaters — The $29 One SHOCKED Me | WOMAN FASHION
I Tested 8 "Cashmere" Sweaters — The $29 One SHOCKED Me I bought 8 "cashmere" sweaters from $29 to $390 and tested every one. Fiber grade. Knit density. Pilling resistance. And whether the label actually matches what's inside. 4 were real cashmere. 4 were not what they claimed to be. A $29 sweater that says "100% cashmere" is mathematically impossible when raw cashmere fiber alone costs $18-24 per sweater. So what's actually inside? 🔬 Quality Scores (out of 100): #1 Italic — 91/100 ($120) Grade A, 13-14 microns #2 Everlane — 85/100 ($95) Grade A, 14.5 microns #3 Naadam — 84/100 ($98) Grade A, 14-15 microns #4 Quince — 79/100 ($50) Grade A, 15.5 microns — THE CASHMERE WALL — #5 Banana Republic — 58/100 ($149) Grade B, declining quality #6 Zara — 41/100 ($95) Grade B-C, inconsistent sourcing #7 H&M "Premium" — 34/100 ($79) Grade C, barely qualifies #8 Shein — 11/100 ($29) NOT CASHMERE 🧶 4 Rules for Buying Cashmere: 1. Under $40 = not real cashmere (the math doesn't work) 2. Check the micron count (brands with Grade A want you to know) 3. Feel the weight, not just the softness (200g+ = quality) 4. Initial pilling is normal — if it never stops, the fiber is low-grade
