Honestly, even Loro Piana knits are thin and low-ply. A two-ply Vicuña sweater is not half as nice as a 12-ply cashmere sweater, and will not last nearly as long. This exceptional twitter thread by Derek Guy is relevant. Oh, here’s the thread on nitter. Oh, and here’s a thread on Loro Piana, but I’m too lazy to put that up on nitter.
Men should generally wear fewer fine merino / fine cashmere knits, and wear more textured knits. I did a little reel thing about shetland sweaters on IG, and I have another I’ll put up tomorrow about cable knits and aran knits.
