Purchased a Med in gray for my capsule wardrobe. I'm 145 lbs and 5 ft and it fits perfectly. It is definitely a lightweight sweater, which can be worn as a layer or separately, and is lusciously soft and warm. I am considering getting another in a different color.I would have liked it to be silkierNot all cashmere is created equal. I have a vintage Neiman Marcus cardigan from the early 1960s that looks like it was made yesterday, while the five inexpensive Uniqlo pullovers I bought in 2014 didn't even last one season. With cashmere, you definitely get what you pay for.I'd say this is a mid-range quality sweater. It's lightweight but has a nice tight weave and is very soft. At this point, I can't say whether it's going to pill excessively or not, but it's obviously superior to Uniqlo. It has a flattering drape and the pale heather grey is classic. I'm 5'4", 150 lbs, with a 34 B/C bust and the size L offers a slightly slouchy, comfortable fit. As a bonus, the packaging is top notch. The sweater came in a wrapped in tissue paper in a custom cardboard box. Very posh.Compared to Scottish Cashmere this is a low to mid grade 100% cashmere at a good price point. I like the color and softness. It is comfortable to wear and true to cashmere, it is lightweight, not bulky. It breathes yet provides the warmth I need for indoor winter wear. The neckline is perfectly sized for me, not tight. It will be top of mind as a nice gift without hurting my expenses.This is a nice sweater, and beautifully packaged - ideal if you plan to give it as a gift.At first glance I'd say that the quality of the cashmere used for this sweater is about on par with the material used by high street brands such as H&M. H&M sell their fine-knit cashmere at around the $100 mark, so the prices are comparable.I live in Mongolia, the world capital of cashmere goats, and after a brief inspection I'd say that the material is decidedly mid-level - not the cheapest of the cheap by any means, but if you look closely you'll notice plenty of 1-2mm loose fibres rising from the material, a sign that the fibres are relatively short. At this price I have no problem at all with the quality of the material used. This is a $100-120 sweater based on the quality of the cashmere, so you shouldn't feel cheated.Now onto sizing. I'm a guy, but I liked the look of this sweater so I thought I'd risk it. I have a 40" chest and only had the option to test the medium size, which has a 20 1/8" chest (40 1/4" in total), so I expected to have to pass it onto my wife. Nope. It fits very close as expected, but it's perfectly comfortable. As an added bonus it's quite short, the hem sitting at the waist of my trousers, which is exactly what I wanted. Most men's knitwear is made slightly too long, to suit fit models with heights of around 6', so those of us in the 5' 9" region have to put up with hems the hang to the crotch.I'm not 100% sure how this would fit on a woman, but I'd say that if you want a close fit you may want to consider sizing down. If a medium just about fits me, a 180lbs man, then it would absolutely swamp my petite wife. If you're looking for a relaxed, slouchy fit you should order your regular size.I'm a sucker for a nice sweater and this one was on constant rotation for me during the winter and spring here. Its very flattering with a slightly loose fit, so it doesn't hug the body but also isn't boxy shaped either. I did notice that the V-neck version is slightly shorter than the crew neck one. The cashmere is more of a blend, I know it says 100% but the feeling of it isn't quite pure cashmere, but still soft and kept me warm even without layering. Washing on delicate kept it looking nice and even when I accidentally tossed it in with my regular wash, it still came out looking good.The sweater is lightweight, soft, and appears to be made of good material. The Grey color is identical to what is shown in the product picture. The size is a bit smaller than usual. As per my wife she can definitely feel the warmth when she puts it on. Above all, it came in a nice package, good for gifting.? -1. Lightweight2. Warm3. Well made4. Nice packageThank you for your time. Please click the [Helpful] button. If my review helps you!This crew-neck cashmere sweater from Eureka Kasmir is really nice quality. The cashmere is very soft and this sweater has a lovely drape. I have the "Grey Hthr" color and it's a great neutral that is very classic. The heather really showcases the variation in the yarn.The sweater itself has quite a boxy fit with nice subtle details like ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem. This classic crew-neck is a very versatile wardrobe piece and can be worn in a variety of ways. It's thin enough to be a layering piece and can be styled a lot of different ways.For reference, I am 5'5" tall 110 lbs 30D with a straight body shape and long limbs with a short torso. I usually wear a size 0 or XS. I ordered this sweater in a size "Small" - the smallest size offered. It fits generously but that just adds to the cozy look.
