Well, that would depend on the quality of the cashmere used...

My bespoke shetland sweater arrived today.

The good:
The fit is just about perfect. The thing is obviously hand made by talented people who care about what they're doing. The quality is superb.

Tha bad:
The colors are not at all what I expected. My fault, for not being specific enough. I should have had it knitted in the colors offered, rather than trying to specify my own.

I'll try to post photos, as soon as I figure out how to do it.
