The juice stains can be removed with a hot towel while the coffee or tea stains need a dry towel to suck them away.

Cheeks skin is one of the most sensitive parts of our body. 100% cashmere will not cause any discomfort or itchy feeling when it closes to our cheeks. In other words, if cashmere clothes don't produce any rejection reaction to our cheeks, its quality is certainly good.

Try to select the clothes that are marked with 100% cashmere, as only 100% cashmere is required for inspection and official authorization. Those coats/ oversized sweaters are marked with 70% cashmere and 30% wool may have cashmere content of only 5%!!!

As I mentioned before, a pure cashmere coat costs almost $1,800 to $5,000, so if a cashmere coat only costs 1-2 thousands, probably it's not pure cashmere.
