I bought this in early autumn after putting off a cashmere purchase for years, mostly because every cheap one I had tried before went bobbly within a month. This has held up far better than I expected, so I wanted to write a proper review with the details I was hunting for before I ordered. On sizing, it comes in one size and I was nervous about that. I am 5'6" and normally a UK 12. It sits just below my hip bones and the sleeve opening comes to about mid forearm, so it does not get in the way when I am carrying bags. My sister is 5'10" and borrowed it for a weekend, and on her it reads more like a cropped cape, still wearable but a different look. If you are under about 5'2" I would expect it to sit closer to mid thigh. On warmth, it is genuinely enough on its own down to about 10 degrees with a long sleeve top underneath. Below that I put a coat over it and it layers flat, no bunching at the shoulder. The neck opening is wide, which I like for pulling on over a shirt collar, though it does mean a bit of draught on a windy platform. On the itch question, I can wear it directly over a sleeveless top with no irritation, and I am usually sensitive to wool at the neck. On care, I hand wash cold with wool detergent and dry it flat on a towel. It has been through four washes and has not stretched or lost shape. There was some fibre shedding onto dark clothing for the first week or two, which stopped after the first wash. A couple of small bobbles under the arms after three months, which came off easily with a cashmere comb. It arrived folded in a fabric bag rather than plastic, which I have kept for storing it over summer. The colour matched the product photos closely on my screen. For the price I think it is fair, and I have worn it more than anything else I bought this season.
