3 Core Tips to Easily Master High-Quality Cashmere Selection
In cold winters, cashmere becomes a must-have for dressing due to its soft and warm characteristics, and the key to High-Quality Cashmere Selection is to avoid the trap of “shoddy products” and choose items that are truly worth the money. First, check the label: regular high-quality cashmere items will clearly mark the “cashmere content”. If it is labeled “100% pure cashmere”, you need to confirm whether there is an authoritative testing mark (such as the national standard GB/T 29862 certification); if it says “cashmere blend”, pay attention to whether the cashmere content is ≥30%. Below this ratio, the warmth will be greatly reduced, and avoid being misled by gimmicks such as “imitation cashmere” and “fake cashmere”.
Second, identify by hand feel and texture: high-quality cashmere feels delicate and soft, fitting the skin like a cloud without rough granularity; gently pull the fabric, it has good elasticity and is not easy to deform, and can rebound quickly after being released; look closely at the cashmere, it is evenly distributed with consistent length and no obvious hair loss. If the hand feel is stiff and there is serious hair loss, it is likely to be a low-quality product mixed with chemical fiber or wool. In addition, the color can also help judge: natural cashmere is mostly soft colors such as off-white and light gray, with uniform dyeing and no peculiar smell. Those that are too bright or have a pungent smell may use inferior dyes, which affect wearing comfort.
Finally, choose according to the usage scenario: for daily inner wear, choose a light and thin style (weight about 100-150g), which is not bulky when matched with a coat; for outer jackets, choose a thickened style (weight ≥200g) for stronger warmth; at the same time, pay attention to maintenance methods – high-quality cashmere needs to be hand-washed or dry-cleaned, use neutral detergent, avoid exposure to the sun and twisting hard, which can extend the service life. Mastering these 3 tips allows you to successfully complete High-Quality Cashmere Selection and let warm and comfortable cashmere items accompany you through the entire cold winter.
