Just saw a Naadam pre-video add, was interested, and went to search for product reviews.... And of course you're 6 months ahead of me! Thanks for the unboxing and review!

I had to send two of them back due to sizing. I wear a large in every single shirt/sweater I own. The large was way too small. I literally ended up with a XXL. I first thought that maybe the large was just a mis marked medium. But when the XL was too small I figured they just run small. I have two other cashmere sweaters in large that are actually a little bigger than the XXL. For reference I am 5 foot 10 and 175 lbs.

Granted it is a really nice sweater. Super soft not too thin or thick. Also I just ordered these within the last two weeks.

I have already received my refunds. Though they do charge for returns.

Hi, looks quite nice, just two questions: Is the 75, - Cashmere Sweater a 1 ply or a 2 ply yarn ? Is it knitted seamless ?

[ainoaguy]

Im happy you made a video review on Naadam. I just got my first cashmere sweater ever from them and so far I love it however I don't have the experience to say if its good quality or not. Glad to hear your input.

Make sure you don’t sign up for the recurring text program if your first purchase is for the $75 sweaters. Not only will your promo not apply, it will disappear and you will not have it to use on a future order.

I find it telling that all the consumer review sites are covered in bad ratings and people stating how much pilling the sweaters do.

[krollic]

A classic and versatile style and colour. If I had one and your build I'd probably get the chest and waist taken in though. I prefer slimmer/fitter cut to the traditional boxy cut.

Wow that lavender sweater is just gorgeous! I have tried on a similar sweater for $300 but it was too scratchy and short.

[emolina]

I ordered one a few weeks ago and I'm really impressed with the quality and construction. I also like the name of the brand on the sleeve.

[mree]

Are these better quality than the $100 cashmeres that one can typically find @ Uniqlo, Gap, J Crew & discounted stores such as Marshall's & TJ Maxx?

[Anti-Taxxer]

You should check out N. Peal. They’re definitely not $75, but they are still pretty reasonably priced if you compare them to Loro Piana or Ralph Lauren Purple Label.

Those cashmere products made in Chefing, China.

[dirkklinkenberg]

If that wool comes from a sheep it is not cashmere but wool...Cashmere comes from a Cashmere goat. The wool is named after the region of Kashmir in India, Pakistan and China...So it the wool comes from a sheep it is wool, if the wool comes from a Cashmere goat it is cashmere. Real cashmere is a lot more expensive than wool from a sheep.

How warm are these? Would they be a good layering piece for Minnesota winters? Or more of a spring/fall sweater?

[chloedietrich]

Hi Jon, I purchased a Naadam $75 sweater last Christmas, and it has been pilling like CRAZY! How has yours been doing? I use a sweater stone to remove pills, but it is really too many pills for such a young sweater with less than 20 wears from it.

[AZyzk]

Thank you very much for your review.
Those sweater sizes were "M"?

[ValkryNL]

Hey kavalier, do a roundup for peacoats and other winter jackets please!:)

[whatebuh]

How is the length? Small usually fits me but sometimes it's too long.

[menslifestyleimprovement]

Bought the Everlane black v-neck cashmere sweater based on your review last year. From your review so far about Naadam looks like I may need to get myself another cashmere sweater.

[kongmw]

Just in time for the cold weather! Just got an Everlane cashmere hoodie, but will have to consider these next time.
