• The Good:

  Cashmere wool is an extraordinarily soft, efficient insulator that works when wet and has natural odor control. Although we don't yet recycle used wool garments, they potentially can be reprocessed.

• The Bad:

  Cashmere goats thrive in a high-desert climate, where it's easier to overgraze than not. So it's important (but difficult) to trace the wool to the source.

• What We Think:

  We think we've found, for the moment, the best possible way to source cashmere. Next step: recyclability.
