Cashmere is considered to be the standard of softness and airiness. Representing a gentle touch is very important in garment industy. Cashmere is made from down or undercoat, which is manually combed out of mountain goats. A significant feature of this down is that once the cold ends, a goat does not need it (in natural conditions goats have the itch), so it is combed with a special comb. After obtaining the down, it is sorted according to the thickness and the length of a hair, and the thinnest hairs are in a radius of 16-24 microns (for comparison the diameter of a human hair is 50 microns).

Due to these features, it becomes clear why women's clothes made of cashmere cannot be cheap. On average, one goat can collect no more than 0.15 kg of fluff, and in order to make a female coat of medium length you need more than 2 kg of cashmere threads. Most frequently the down production is carried out in India, China and Mongolia, and sometimes you can find cashmere production from Afghanistan and Iran, but its quality is not so high. After combing the undercoat you need to treat it properly and it is often done by Italian or Scottish masters who produce the best cashmere for high-quality women's clothes.
