Room Service

Royal Cashmere Hoodie and Pants

You so smart. You remembered the aroma sticks, portable kettle, and sanitizing nasal swabs.

Too bad you forgot to pack the one thing you actually need: something comfy to slip into after all that cobblestone hobbling and museum gazing.

Something like cashmere pants and a hoodie, perchance?

We test-drove The Royal Cashmere Collection’s set last month and haven’t wanted to take them off since. They immediately earned a spot on the must-pack list — for the plane, the lobby lounge, the breakfast table at the Tuscan agriturismo. (Why is it that even in summer hotel aircon is always set to Arctic Gust?)

They’re finally available online, so you can see what the fuss is about. The clothes are tissue-thin (that means easy packing, even in your on-plane purse), easy to wash (no pricey hotel laundry bill), and come in three basic colors (black, mink, oatmeal).

Brilliant.
