Best Cashmere Sweaters for Golf: Add a little luxury to your outfit rotation

Warm, luxurious and timeless, Cashmere was once a staple material of stylish golf attire.

That was, of course, until the sportswear giants arrived with their array of technical fabrics and insulating synthetic fibres, relegating natural materials like cashmere, wool and cotton to a bygone era.

This is a shame, however, as luxurious materials like Cashmere still have a place out on the course.

Derived from the wool of the Himalayan cashmere goat, which often spends its time high in the mountains braving temperatures as low as -30 degrees, Cashmere is a fantastic natural insulator, incredibly light for the warmth it provides and supremely comfortable, making it perfect as an outer layer on a chilly day or a mid-layer to slip seamlessly beneath your favourite waterproof golf jacket.

Cashmere does, of course, come at a price, with even more affordable sweaters made from the material retailing for much more than you'd normally spend on a jumper. What you get for your money, however, is a piece that looks great both on and off the course, will last generations if well taken care of, and just simply feels a little more special than the mass market golf attire that's come to flood the market in recent decades.

Here, then, are our picks of the best cashmere jumpers to add a little luxury to your golf rotation this winter.

Adidas Originals Golf Cashmere Knit Sweatshirt

Adidas Originals Golf took the Three Stripes' golf offering to a more luxurious, fashion-forward place when it launched earlier this year, embracing heritage materials as a part of that transformation. Symbolic of that is their Cashmere Knit sweatshirt – a first for the sportswear giant made with a blend of 70% cotton and 30% luxurious cashmere wool for added softness and warmth. The V-neck and vertical ribbing both the timeless golf style of the '70s and '80s, while the muted brown finish makes for great off-course wearability.

Peter Millar Stokes Crewneck Jumper

Price: £325

Woven with the sense of forward-thinking, classic luxury that American brand Peter Millar has become revered for over the last 20 years, the brand's Stokes jumper isn't 100% cashmere, but instead made with a distinct blend of merino wool, baby camel and cashmere that guarantees a buttery soft skin feel and incredible warmth. The ribbed cuffs, hem and neckline provide a classic look that saunters from course to clubhouse seamlessly, while the classic tailored fit is flattering and timeless.

Mr P. Curtis Cashmere Sweater

Price: £345

Made for the signature line of famed online menswear store Mr Porter, the Mr P Curtis Sweater has a slightly more athletic profile and longer yarns, replacing the cozy, wooly texture of many cashmere sweaters for a thinner, smoother fabric that's primed for layering.
