Yesterday’s Scarf and other Scarf Deals… I own a lot of scarves, and most of those are either cashmere or lambswool winter scarves. I love the combination of a soft hand and substantial warmth that only cashmere can provide, but they are generally prohibitively expensive. The Barbour cashmere scarf pictured above likely retailed in something like the $150-200 range, but I picked it up four or five years ago from Sierra Trading Post (STP) for about $35. I never pay more than $40 for a cashmere scarf, and in order to do so I troll STP a lot.  Every year they have tons of cashmere scarves by Johnston’s of Elgin, which are quite nice, and they sell for ~$70 or so. Sign up for STP’s ‘Deal Flyer’ email alerts and you will frequently receive coupon codes which, when combined with sale prices, can bring the scarves down to about $30, which is as cheap as I’ve ever seen them and I’ve been watching them for almost a decade. Lambswool scarves by Johnston’s of Elgin (currently $30) and Moon of England (currently $15) can often be had for as low as $12 if you stack coupon codes and clearance sales wisely. The current selection is quite varied and nice, and should be able to fulfill any and all F/W scarf needs.
