Cashmere—the best choice for your traditional jacket!

A cashmere dirndl jacket not only looks chic but also ensures all-day comfort. The material’s breathability allows for quick moisture wicking, and its excellent thermal insulation keeps you warm even on cooler days.

How can you tell if it’s genuine cashmere?

To identify genuine cashmere in a traditional jacket, look for the following characteristics and use these methods:

The texture: Genuine cashmere feels incredibly soft and smooth against the skin. Run your hand over the cardigan—it should feel silky and light, without any scratchiness.

Warmth: Cashmere provides excellent thermal insulation. The cardigan should quickly adapt to your body temperature and feel comfortably warm without making you sweat.

Weight: Cashmere fibers are very lightweight. Despite its warming properties, the cardigan should feel light.

Elasticity: Gently pull on a spot on the cardigan. Genuine cashmere will return to its original shape after a short time.

Pilling: High-quality cashmere is less prone to pilling. Gently running your hand over the surface should result in no or very few pills.

Label: Check the label. It should read “100% Kaschmir” or “100% Cashmere.” Be wary of labels such as “cashmere blend” or “contains cashmere.”

Price: Genuine cashmere is more expensive. If you buy a cashmere cardigan at a very low price, you should be suspicious.

Origin and Brand: Buy from reputable manufacturers or retailers known for their quality.

If in doubt, it’s advisable to consult an expert or turn to trusted brands and retailers such as PAPA LOBSTER .

How to Properly Care for Your Traditional Knit Jacket

Follow these steps to properly care for your cashmere jacket and ensure it lasts a lifetime:

1. Air Out Instead of Washing

   Cashmere has self-cleaning properties and is naturally resistant to dirt and odors. To eliminate unpleasant odors, air out your traditional cardigan in the fresh air after wearing it. This protects the fibers and extends the garment’s lifespan.

2. Machine Wash

   Don’t worry! Cashmere can be safely washed in the washing machine. Wash your favorite pieces at a maximum of 30 °C at 400 U/min on the wool cycle of a well-functioning washing machine using liquid wool detergent.

3. Hand Wash

   To hand-wash cashmere, use lukewarm water up to 30 °C and liquid wool detergent. Gently submerging the garment and lightly squeezing it out will remove dirt particles. Caution: Do not leave it in the water for too long and do not wring it out too vigorously! Afterward, the cashmere items should be carefully rinsed with clean water.

4. Proper drying

   After washing, lay the traditional jacket flat on a towel. This will remove excess moisture. Never hang the jacket on a clothesline, as this can distort its shape. Let the traditional jacket dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.

5. Removing Pills

   Small bobbles, known as pilling, are normal for cashmere and are caused by friction. Gently remove them with a special pilling shaver or pilling comb. Be sure to always work in the direction of the knit. This will prevent damage to the fibers.

6. Storage

   Cashmere jackets are best stored in a cool, dry closet. Use breathable cotton bags or boxes to protect them from dust and keep moths away. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture.

7. Steaming & Ironing

   That’s right—you can—and should—lightly steam-iron cashmere. Gently glide a steam iron over the cashmere at a low temperature and without applying heavy pressure. This helps cashmere garments retain their shape and allows the cashmere fibers to regain their characteristic fluffiness.
