What would you pay? The Bonobos on sale cashmere V

The Splurge: Bonobos Wellington Cashmere V-Neck – $98.00 ($248)

UPDATE:  The Camel is all but gone.  Looks like a few of you had a $50 credit that Bonobos has been offering for new referrals as of late.  Still some in grey, largest in navy, and most sizes in the louder purple and kelly green.

At first glance (and maybe 2nd, 3rd, 7th, etc…) there’s nothing real affordable about a one hundred dollar sweater.  For many, cashmere is overrated, and a merino V-neck that costs around $30 – $40 will do just fine.  But for those who are fans, or maybe a little cashmere curious, here’s what this one has going for it:

  • Solid price – Might even be an incredible deal depending on the quality of the fabric.  There are a few levels of cashmere, but with a regular price of $250, and the Bonobos track record of using decent fabrics (like in their suiting) this might be an awfully rare deal.
  • Perfect color – A deep camel color like this is hugely versatile.  Should look just as good with dark wash jeans in the fall as your almost white or grey cotton pants in the summer.  Wearable whenever, wherever.
  • Good looking collar – Doesn’t appear to dip too deep, and the width of the ribbing isn’t razor thin.
  • Size Range – Currently has S, M, L, and XXL available.  Mediums don’t often make it to the sale section.
  • Ships Free & Fast – Hooray for Bonobos and the ninjas.  Returns are free too.

But again… a hundred bucks.  And it’s summer for cryin’ out loud.  Also available in grey but no mediums there.  Navy has just larges left.  Purple and kelly green have sizes if you’re looking to drop a hundred bucks on a bright sweater?

    Ugh. I want it. Big fan of cashmere. But I just bought some AEs at Nordstroms AND the Florsheims from Macy’s. I can’t. I shouldn’t. What was that Reggie? 50 bucks off?

    Every time I go on Bonobos’ website, it seems like they have the same problem as Express, that they forget there are men over six feet tall.

    Not for $100, but for $50?  Hell yeah.  Real big fan of camel, and I agree that it can be applied year-round in any number of color combinations; it’s compatible with at least half my wardrobe.  But, I already have a camel v-neck from LEC that cost $15 that gets the job done, so I’m thinking no on this one!  If I didn’t, though, I think $50 is very reasonable, though I have my doubts about just how wearable cashmere would be in late spring/summer/early fall.

    Count me as someone who’d rather do merino at $30 than cashmere at $100. But if the fit is right, then I’d spend the $100, as a baggy sweater pleases no one.
    Whatever the case, I do prefer grabbing my sweaters in the warmer months — that’s usually when they’re on sale!

    Personally I prefer a deeper V, wouldn’t go much over $50 for this one.

    I’ve gotten BR sweaters (including cashmere blends) at $20-25 before with patience, sales, and codes… I don’t wear sweaters often enough to justify spending more than that.

    Plus, with blond hair and a ruddy complexion, I’m not sure camel would be the most flattering color for me.

    Man… I totally would for 50… but alas… only XXL left. sigh. good find Joe!

    Unless  you’re an XXL they’re out of the camel…

    Codes appear to stop working after one use.  Here’s one that should work: BRP34TD847P

  19. Hank Kwon says

    June 18, 2012 at 11:51 PM

    Nope. A link like http://curebit.com/x/HUdRR that was posted earlier should work fine

    June 18, 2012 at 11:54 PM

    Same! Not a bad deal at all

    “A deep camel color like this is hugely versatile. Should look just as good with dark wash jeans in the fall as your almost white or grey cotton pants in the summer.”

    Do you really wear cashmere sweaters in the summer…? Color is not the problem I am seeing here. Maybe you live somewhere cooler than me.

    Also, I voted $0 because paying $3 for cashmere v-necks at thrift stores has pretty much ruined me for buying them at common retail prices.
