The Luxury Dupe Breakdown: Abercrombie Textural Cable Knit Vs. High-End Cashmere
By Sarah Jenkins
Q: Does Abercrombie's cable crew sweater irritate sensitive skin?
A: No. Because the sweater utilizes a combed cotton acrylic blend rather than sheepswool, alpaca, or mohair, it has zero natural animal prickle and can be worn directly against bare skin without itching.
Q: Should I size up or down for a relaxed fit?
A: Order your true size. The cut already incorporates dropped shoulders and a slightly boxy torso. Sizing up often results in excessively long sleeves and excess bulk around the lower hem.
Q: How do you prevent pilling on cotton-blend cable knits?
A: Turn the garment inside out before laundering. Wash exclusively on a cold, delicate cycle in a structured mesh bag. Never put it in a tumble dryer; reshape it while damp and lay it flat on a dry towel.
