HERILL HERILL Golden Cash Cardigan Size: 1 Length: 65cm (excluding collar) Width: 58cm Color: Natural Current Retail Price: ¥93,500 ■ Description The annual production of cashmere in the world is about 7,000 tons on a combed basis. Of this, China produces just under 60%, or about 4,000 tons. Fukaki Keori's Golden Cash uses only the rare cashmere that can only be obtained in Shandong Province, China, which is only 2 tons. Compared to ordinary brown cashmere, the surface hair of this cashmere goat has a golden-brown to reddish color, and is called "Taishan Hong" locally, meaning red-haired cashmere that lives at the foot of Mount Tai. The average fineness of the downy hair, which has a pale beige color compared to the surface hair color, is in the 14μ range, which is finer than the 15.5μ of Inner Mongolian cashmere, which is said to be of the highest quality, and it is also characterized by very little variation in fineness. Of course, it would be nice to match the tones and change the materials, but I personally want to combine this gentle atmosphere with something contrasting. While it has a fluffy feel, it also has a thick feel, and I think it is a piece that allows you to fully enjoy the goodness of "Golden Cash". The price is certainly high, but the material is of course excellent, as well as the reinforcement with grosgrain tape, the tension of the ribs, and the construction of the front pockets, so I think it's fair for the price. As I mentioned in the first installment, I think you can wear it longer than wool, so if you are thinking "I want cashmere but it's expensive", why not reconsider it with an eye on 5 or 10 years from now? I'm already looking forward to the aging of this cardigan, which will surely suit a worn-out look. This is the early, thick type, and I think I've only worn it about 5 times. I air it out every season and store it in a bag with mothballs during the off-season. I haven't had much chance to wear it, so there are some fold marks, but the condition is good. The price has risen considerably in recent years, so if you are looking for one, please consider it.
