^ wish I could say the same about my LUC knits, anything with a high cashmere percentage needs to be regularly assaulted with a lint brush..

It shouldn't happen. That's just bad cashmere. It is dispiriting to see what passes for luxury today :(Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Some fabrics I guess are delicate by design. Like Faliero Sarti 70/30 cashmere/silk blends because they are mostly designed for women. Any facial hair and the scarf pills like crazy, but it's the only way to make them so light and soft to the touch. But then there is just low quality cashmere and wool, where the fibers used are too short (and cost less), which results in pilling.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I got this one sweater from John Undercover, and it's made from pulled wool. I understand that's an inferior wool that is more prone to pilling, but that was kind of the point for me. I wanted an oversized chunky shaggy cardigan like my music heroes. My hooded Rick cardigan is actually doing OK, considering. I still get moments of anxiety for both, though.
Whenever I see someone wear something broken, I always think they look so cool, but when it happens to me, it's "oh dear god, what have I done." Ultimately why I couldn't pull the trigger on the Moody psychoknit that I loved so much.
Oh, also moths.

i have very little experience with rick's cashmere so i won't say anything about how well it holds up. i only own pieces where it is blended in or in certain details of a garment (those have held up beautifully though...).
obviously there are other brands that strive much more for uncompromising quality in fabrics/yarns (such as fratelli piacenza and loro piana which u and i discussed some time ago, e.) - i don't think ro is a brand which has ever been or claimed to be about exceptional quality per se. (and i'm fine with that, most of the time.)Last edited by Shucks; 01-08-2015, 05:30 PM.

Haha, yea two of my oldest items that I still wear are sweaters, both are Jil Sander. They're still in perfect condition, the only problem is somehow they get a tad tighter each year

I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.
