Typical figures for an adult size M. The pattern tier is set from the real piece count when you order.

In a coat it tailors well: the shoulder rolls naturally and the lapel presses into a soft line.

Cut long, a soft cloth falls in deep folds and moves slowly.

It wears warm, which places it in autumn and winter collections.

It wants a cold hand wash and drying flat, so say so on the care label.

It pills where it rubs, especially at first, and it is washed gently and folded rather than hung.

Cashmere is the fine undercoat combed from cashmere goats. It is warmer than sheep's wool for its weight and very soft, and the finest fibres are long and white.

Most cashmere fibre comes from Mongolia and northern China, and much of it is spun and knitted in Scotland, Italy and China.

Knitted pieces are not lined; woven cashmere coats are lined in silk or cupro.

Knitted to shape or cut from double-face cloth; handle it lightly, because pressing flattens the fibre.

It dyes well in soft, natural shades; very dark colors can make the hand feel harsher.

Its surface is matte, so it photographs evenly under flat light.
