If you started your wardrobe over from scratch, what would you buy? (US)
Cashmere sadly needs to be quite expensive to be quality. Good scottish or italian cashmere is actually BIFL if you take care of it and feels very durable, but a sweater of that quality usually runs you atleast $400 new. William Lockie and Johnstons of Elgin are examples of scottish cashmere that could be considered ”affordable” for the quality you get and for italian cashmere you have Malo in that ballpark, but it’s always best if you can thrift. I have a William Lockie sweater in great condition that I bought for $80 and it holds up incredibly well.

Cashmere Wrap Recommendations
I have a Johnstons of Elgin cashmere scarf that’s 9 years old that I love. It’s nice and big, soft and has a great pattern. William Lockie, Begg and Colhays are other solid options. Don’t buy Quince or the other DTC Instagram garbage brands. If it’s under $300-400, it’s probably not very good cashmere. If that’s your budget, a vintage cashmere scarf from the brands I mentioned or Pringle will be far better. Or find something at Ralph Lauren on sale.

Anyone have experience with Aran wool sweaters?
They make good stuffs, but they've also been trying to creep upmarket based on the price increases and from what I've heard from some retailers who carry them. Makes sense, considering the limited output capacity of their relatively small workshop. Check out other knitwear makers, especially the Scottish ones, they're generally very solid, and occasionally discounted too at retailers. There are only a few Scottish knitwear manufacturers operating today so if you find a made in Scotland sweater at a good price, it's likely a good deal regardless of brand. William Lockie is a good one, occasionally discounted under different labels they make for (Drake's, The Armoury), Colhay's is also good value but never discounted, Private White VC regularly discounts their knitwear (made by Johnstons of Elgin) at the end of the seasons.
