I do tend to think of merino as easier upkeep and have considered items in that..&nbsp;<br />I run cold on arms, so am more likely to need full sleeves even if in lighter fabrics in mild/transitional weather,&nbsp; than more core/trunk warmth. Is why I have to tell myself not to buy more vests.&nbsp;<br />But cashmere is SO cozy.<br />I have only been a&nbsp; sporadic thrifter, but had planned to do more in retirement with more free time, maybe traveling farther afield, or being able to make a quick review of what's new more often,&nbsp; for that occasional great find, and "vintage" cashmere or other classic&nbsp; tailored items was on that list.. But pandemic has put a damper on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-short-sleeve-and-sleeveless-cashmere#post-2171319 Thu, 11 Feb 2021 18:51:21 +0000 LaPed 2171319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>unfrumped -- my thinking is the inverse of yours! I have a couple of merino tees and tanks that I reach for&nbsp;<b>a lot </b>year-round and have been pondering what a dressier equivalent of these tops might be, and I landed on cashmere tees/shells.

Meaning, I try to wear my winter cashmere sweaters with at least a short sleeved underlayer (tanks may help too, but don't line the underarm area well, even if if very light cotton such as the really light Hanro undershirt, thinking this means it won't be as much moth-candy, since not planning to wash after every wear. Whereas sleeveless and SS tops are often underlayers of some sort themselves.<br />I do bank on the idea that moths may not be as drawn to items hanging spread apart in closet, with light, as during off -season storage, but I'm not sure.<br />&nbsp;I've always wondered about the discrepancy between, "only store clean, washed or dry-cleaned woolen sweaters" vs how one goes through a winter season, typically (( assume) wearing such sweaters at least several times between washings, and putting them in drawers (recommended for sweaters), or even hanging them, as I do.</p> <p>I had been thinking of getting, in future, something like a merino "active" T shirt for travel, since I don't think the moths travel and since the active-wear brands tend to be marketed as more durable for washing.<br />YMMV if you have never had any moth issues.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-short-sleeve-and-sleeveless-cashmere#post-2171311 Thu, 11 Feb 2021 16:40:21 +0000 nemosmom 2171311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any recs - I don't think I have ever owned short-sleeve cashmere, but I love the idea of these for you and am excited to see what you find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-short-sleeve-and-sleeveless-cashmere#post-2171308 Thu, 11 Feb 2021 16:06:42 +0000 LaPed 2171308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would *love* to find a vintage version.

It was worn a lot when I was younger, as well as a deep pink tweedy wool sleeveless top. I wore them most on their own, sometimes under a jacket. Now I run too cold to wear them that way but still have the black cashmere that sometimes is a bottom layer under something else. Vintage cashmere does not seem to pill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-short-sleeve-and-sleeveless-cashmere#post-2171227 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 22:42:43 +0000 LaPed 2171227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Runcarla, the donegal tweeds! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Irina -- that's good to know.

Mine were from Holt Renfrew's own label, which makes me wonder if places like Saks, Bloomingdales, even Nordstrom, have cashmere t's and shells under their own label. Or am I just revealing how old I now am; &nbsp;? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-short-sleeve-and-sleeveless-cashmere#post-2171201 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 18:57:33 +0000 LaPed 2171201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been daydreaming about adding a cashmere shell or tee, but options appear to be pretty limited at the moment, maybe because it's late winter? I would think this would be the perfect spring piece, but my spring temps are colder than most, I guess. So far, I've looked at J Crew, Everlane, and Naadam. I would love to try <a rel="nofollow" href="https://naadam.co/products/cashmere-scoop-neck-t-shirt?variant=32603806007392">Naadam</a>, but their short sleeve version has a deeply welted hem and a scoop neck, not really what I'm looking for. And their only sleeveless appears to be a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://naadam.co/products/cashmere-cropped-tank-top?variant=32923693908064">crop-top</a>, and I'm afraid I'm just not cool enough for that look. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>J Crew's colours aren't super inspiring to me, and they don't look as nicely finished as Everlane's, which are also a smidge cheaper. Side note: Everlane's photos seem to be at a weird resolution that doesn't cooperate with Finds -- annoying!).&nbsp;</p> <p>Anywhere else I should look? Anyone have a simple cashmere crewneck tee that they absolutely love? Bonus points for minimal pilling and interesting muted/heathered colours.&nbsp; </p>
