english cut cashmere
[A misty, chilly autumn morning outside the English Cut offices in Cumbria.]
English Cut is expanding into the cashmere business. Very exciting.
As with the shirts, we don’t mind naming our suppliers. If people want to buy from us, great. If they prefer to buy directly from our suppliers, that’s great too. There’s plenty of business out there for everybody, so it’s all good.
[And in case you were wondering:] Why does some cashmere cost $20, and some cost $1000? Hype? Marketing? Or maybe something a bit more substantial? Read “Cashmere Truths” for further insight [NB: The latter was written by Arthur Rennie, our supplier].
Hi Hugh;
1:50 am here in Toronto and still working. Took a quick brain break and decided to check out your GREAT Gaping Void blog.
Lovely… Looking forward to wearing such beautiful material in a beautiful garment!
And, the English Cut and Cashmere education links you provided are excellent, well-worth reading!!
Rock on Hugh!
I love that photo. Gorgeous. Cashmere weather.
Beautiful picture! Wish I could afford cashmere…sounds heavenly.
“Once you have worn cashmere everything else becomes less desirable and one strives to attain more and more cashmere pieces.”
ACK! I’m buried in cashmere! It sounds like a horrible addiction. Surely there are better things to strive for than cashmere.
Hej..

kiss, Anita
We get days like this as well — the only difference is 9/10 it’s sunny the rest of the time. Carlisle might be a little damper. LOL.
