It needs a bit of depilling but is not as bad as some other brands I have. I'm looking at you, Halogen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-cashmere-value-quality#post-1940649 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 03:06:20 +0000 KnittingGene 1940649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a “tissue weight” cashmere cardigan from EF that I wore in very heavy rotation for at least two years. It now needs some depilling but it’s otherwise holding up well. I swear by sweater stones for this. I buy a good amount of cashmere because it doesn’t overheat me like some other wools and I get plenty of it second hand. You can’t always tell how it’s going to wear but I’d say EF, J Crew and Nordstrom Signature are good bets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-cashmere-value-quality#post-1940629 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 01:55:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 1940629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an EF cashmere sweater, and it’s the softest, most luxurious thing, ever. That being said, I've only worn it a few times, so I can’t really talk about how it stands up to life. I have not washed it yet - It is big and drapey, and I always wear something under it, and I don’t tend to wash things, esp sweaters, as much as some do. So I can’t comment on how it holds up to washing. Pilling has not been an issue. But my goodness it’s soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-cashmere-value-quality#post-1940622 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 01:30:48 +0000 Elizabeth277 1940622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, everything EF makes is very high quality ESPECIALLY the fabrics. That's their calling card. That said, even though there is a wide range of cashmere on the marketplace, it is always a pain to take care of; it naturally pills. I prefer merino wool for sweaters and cardigans I plan to keep and wear for a long time. And finally I think EF would be happy to take their sweater back if you weren't satisfied. They're just a great company.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-cashmere-value-quality#post-1887835 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 19:58:38 +0000 Anonymous 1887835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have personally never purchased Eileen Fisher cashmere, but I have purchased many of her other fabrications.&nbsp; I can only say good things about those fabrics (linen, silk, rayon, tencel)!&nbsp; They are amazing!&nbsp; They feel wonderful against my skin.&nbsp; They never need ironing ... even the linen!!!!!!!!!!! </p> <p>The cotton I own does not stand out in my mind as superior though.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-cashmere-value-quality#post-1887831 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 19:42:55 +0000 KikiG 1887831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really tired of buying (usually not expensive) placeholder essentials and then having them perform poorly.&nbsp; Like fuzz balls, or sweaters just looking tired and sad after a single season, which is pretty much what I deserve when&nbsp;I buy an acrylic cardigan just so&nbsp;I can go home.&nbsp; The last time I bought a cashmere sweater, it didn't perform over time.&nbsp; But it wasn't terribly expensive, so I guess I didn't deserve better.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm now&nbsp;looking at a pricey Eileen Fisher black&nbsp;cashmere cardigan with buttons down the sides.&nbsp; If it were good quality, it would be a MVP for years.&nbsp; But if it were not, it would be another unsatisfactory cardigan, to add to the unsatisfactory cardigan collection, only one that cost $250.&nbsp; I've pretty much only heard good stuff about EF here--but EF cashmere? Any specific experience to relate? </p>
