I have had this sweater for a couple of years, but I think it is in very good shape. There is some natural fluffiness and pilling that comes with wear, but I think it is pretty minimal, and to be expected. Mostly it occurs on the underside of the sleeves, where the fabric rubs together. I find Jenni Kayne‘s cashmere holds up very well, especially compared to their Everyday Sweater. Measures about 20 inches from top of shoulder to bottom, and about 18 1/2 inches across when laying flat. This is Jenni Kayne’s best selling sweater, it’s super soft and cozy, and keeps you very warm. It is an investment piece for a great price, as it has been gently used. I think it would feel brand new after dry cleaning, as that has always been my experience with these sweaters personally. Also selling in black and gray.
