Men's Cashmere Sweater

Are you shopping for your boyfriend, husband, brother or father? Whether the occasion is a birthday or holiday consider giving a men's cashmere sweater. Unless your guy appreciates the finer things in life it is likely he would never buy a cashmere sweater for himself. Not only is cashmere expensive, some men find it too dressy. This is why it takes a woman with an eye for fashion to outfit her man in this luxurious natural fabric.


Cashmere is derived from the undercoat of certain goats, many of which are bred in China. The fine cashmere fabric is delicately picked from the other hair. It can take the hair of more than three goats to make one sweater. The wool is warmer yet lighter than sheep wool, and very soft and silky to the touch. For these reasons and others cashmere is expensive. The price is yet another reason many men won't treat themselves with a sweater made from cashmere. Before you hit the stores at the mall or online, there are some tips that can help you pick the perfect item.

First, consider the taste of the man you are buying for. If he does not usually wear a sweater vest, don't buy him one. Some men steer clear of sweaters altogether and wear a casual wardrobe of thermal tops, T-shirts and sweat shirts in the winter. For these guys you should choose a plain sweater in a neutral shade like black or charcoal. He can wear it with jeans or slacks on its own, or give it a trendy edge by layering it with an collared shirt underneath or a coordinating T-shirt on top.

When shopping for a men's cashmere sweater, you can try popular stores like Bloomingdale's and Macy's, or go online. Nextag is a site that lets you view and compare different items based on the keyword you enter. You can view cashmere for men from all kinds of online vendors. When it comes to price, you will find the average sweater ranges from about $80 for a Harrison crewneck to $550 for a Loro Piana V-neck. As you can see, there is a wide range of prices out there when it comes to cashmere apparel so comparison shopping is a wise strategy.
