Not Your Grandfather’s Cashmere: Meet the Cold Weather Workhorse You Didn’t Know You Needed

Written By Jason Stafford

Cashmere has a reputation.
Soft. Expensive. Exclusive.
We’re here to challenge that.

At LANDOVERLAND, we believe the good stuff shouldn’t be reserved for high rise cocktail hours and boardrooms. That same softness? It belongs under a flannel jacket in the Cascades. That luxury warmth? It should be on your back when you're chopping wood or heading out to a winter wedding in the mountains.

So we sourced one. The Lando Cashmere Sweater.

Crafted from 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere, this isn’t your typical high maintenance knit. and no, we didn’t source it in the U.S.A. Not because we couldn’t, but because we went straight to the source. Mongolia, where the world’s hardest working herders live the and breathe this craft while respecting the land. Where goats roam harsh, windswept plateaus, and the cashmere is gently combed by hand, ethically and sustainably, by families who’ve been doing it for generations.

The result? A sweater that lives up to our highest standards:

  • 15.8–16.2 micron fiber, 34–36mm length, 12-gauge knit

  • Warmer than standard wool.

  • Lighter on your back, stronger in the elements

  • Breathable, insulating and perfect for layering or flying solo

  • Less pilling, more durability, even with heavy rotation

  • Produced in BSCI-certified facilities, ensuring fair, safe, and ethical practices throughout

This is cashmere the LANDOVERLAND way. Field tested softness with a backbone.

  • Over a tee while stacking firewood

  • Under a wool coat at your cousin’s holiday dinner

  • Rolled into a duffel for road trips across snowy state lines

  • Pulled on before that early coffee run on frost covered mornings

Cashmere shouldn’t be locked in a glass case. It should live, move, and age with you. That’s the LANDOVERLAND way honoring heritage, functionality, and craftsmanship in everything we do.

And if you’ve been watching closely, there’s something else quietly on the horizon. A new wool with ancient roots. We’re not talking yet, but let’s just say this cashmere sweater has company coming.

Arriving in September…. Until then, keep an eye out for your new everyday armor.
The Lando Cashmere Sweater.
Warm enough for the elite. Built for the everyday man.
