100% Cashmere Sweaters Under $300

Our answer

Yes, and the catalog proves it. Every sweater below is 100% cashmere in the shell at under $300. What you give up at this price is not the fiber, it is the yarn. Expect a two ply knit in a medium gauge rather than the heavy, lofty hand of a $900 sweater. Buy the densest knit you can find in the shape you will wear most, and buy one, not three.

Cashmere under $300 is where blends hide. A sweater sold as cashmere can be 30% cashmere and 70% something cheaper, and the label is the only place that says so. Every sweater on this page is 100% cashmere in the shell, read from the retailer's own product page.

At this price, look for a dense knit that springs back when you stretch it. Expect a little pilling in the first few wears. That is short fibers working loose, not a fault, and it settles once they are gone.
