Cashmere - Gap or Pure collection?

[suntodayplease]

Can anyone vouch for the quality of either Gap or Pure Collection cashmere? I'm after a grey boyfriend fit Crewe neck sweater, they are similar price (albeit the pure collection one is in the sale) but I will need to pay for delivery and possibly returns if I go for the PC which makes it slightly more ££.

Which would you go for?
Thanks

I would go for Pure collection.

There's a shop in our nearest town and the quality is very good

But Pure bobbles a lot, in my experience... sorry!

Pure creases like mad and looks very worn by the end of the day. I don't know about Gap though.

My Gap cashmere is VERY bobbly

Pure! I bought the boyfriend Crew in claret and am delighted with it. Haven't washed it yet but did machine wash a Pure jumper belonging to my DM and it came out good as new.

My Pure cardi bobbled very quickly

I've got Banana Republic cashmere which has been great & is possibly much the same as Gap's. I've also got Gap silk/cotton knitwear which is fantastic value. Got a Pure sweater last year which hasn't bobbled and ordered another a couple of weeks ago. It arrived today & seems great cashmere but it reeks of cheap pungent scent. Has a label firmly attached so if it is a return then the person returning may have dropped a lot of scent on it or someone in the packing dept at Pure has done so. Have to pay for returns and currently trying to air the sweater. Bit concerned that I'd have to wash it on its own as the scent could permeate a whole wash. Has anyone any suggestions here?
