Please do show us the couple shots!!
looking good Calisnoopy! good color choice!BF in Hermes Cashmere/Silk Shawl (I think its Bleu Thalassa and something else...sorry I'm horrible with remembering Hermes Shawl Pattern Names and Colorways)
Hi guys! I think its worst enemy is probaby velcro, which should be banned!! Anyway, accidents can be prevented, but even with normal wear I find the cashmere silk blend starts to look worn a lot faster than silk twill. It becomes fuzzy soon enough and pilling follows, which is annoying. Here's an article from the wonderful Maitai on how to treat pilling on cashmere.
Attached pic shows perhaps another way to wear a GM shawl in warmer temperature, when you might not want to wrap it around your neck too snugly. With a clean and classic design like Couvertures and a simple colourway, it won't look too over the top worn over a jacket, I guess...

My GM which is only a few months old is not holding up as well as I would have liked. This will not stop me from buying more, but I have heard that the older GMs are much sturdier.
And I don't have a beard, haha.

Does its fragile nature make it more precious, I wonder? I agree, this might not be a consideration before my next purchase of a GM, not half as much as the price and whether the design is suitable anyway. Though it definitely makes a pre-owned piece not so desirable...
Pilling is inevitable even with high quality cashmere. I have in fact heard that the better the quality the more it tends to occur (because of the finer fibres?) Perhaps blending it with silk already makes it stronger? It's indeed more pronounced where it comes in contact with the chin. I don't sport a beard, but stubble is bad enough. Pilling comes from friction, therefore on a wool sweater it's worst on the flanks and the insides of the arms, as the two surfaces constantly rub against each other, and it is obviously worse on a shawl.
But then I'm sure all these don't mean it will fall apart in a few years. Maybe it'll be just like patina on silver, which comes with wear but doesn't get worse after a while, and hopefully adds character (unless you are a perfectionist)
