About Cashmere
Cashmere is named after Kashmir, the mountainous areas of Pakistan
and India. A cashmere goat lives in cold, windy climate and
develops a hard, protective fleece to withstand the extremes. In
the Spring, the soft silky undercoat is combed to collect the fine
under down. A cashmere fiber is 1/3 the size of a human hair. It
takes four years for a single goat to produce enough cashmere to
make one men's sweater.
Quality
When the cashmere is collected, it goes through a sorting process.
The fibers are divided into extra short, short, medium, and long
batches. Peter Millar is very unique in that we use a 36mm staple
to spin our yarn, which is considered a long fiber. Special care is
needed when using this quality of yarn; it must be spun correctly
and have enough packed into the sweater to ensure a quality
product. Control of the yarn tension and weight are essential so
the sweater will not be limp and flimsy. Our size large in men's
weighs over 300 grams. We have taken measures to ensure all
sweaters are to a proper weight scale to allow for year round
enjoyment.
How to Care for Cashmere
Our care label suggests hand washing and to lay flat or dry clean.
Hand washing is better for a knitted cashmere sweater in the long
run as chemicals used in dry cleaning can be hard on cashmere
fibers. In addition; hand washing will actually make the sweater
softer over time.

The modern gentleman notices the little things, and there is plenty to notice about our Signature Gift Wrap. The paper is a custom-printed navy beaded pinstripe pattern evocative of a classic men's suit fabric. The white satin ribbon is tied in a square knot. But we think it's the enclosure card sealed with hot wax that shows we put as much care into the gift presentation as you put into its selection.
