Kent brushes are a marvel--particularly the wooden-handled hand-assembled models. I have Kent hairbrushes, regular garment brushes, a hat brush, and now this model that is designed particularly for cashmere items of clothing. All of these brushes are great. Each one is designed and constructed of specific materials that are intended for particular tasks. Sure, there are one-brush-does-it-all brushes in this world, and lots of them do a decent job of a variety of tasks, but from experience I am willing to bet that the Kent brushes do a better job at any of the particular tasks for which they are designed than can any of the all-purpose brushes. Someone might find this to be a matter of no importance, but anyone who likes to have the right tool for the specific job to be done will appreciate these Kent brushes immensely. And, in fact, the particular brush to which this review is related does an excellent job with all kinds items of cashmere clothing.

Moreover, along with the high-quailty design and construction of Kent brushes, the materials of which they are all made are excellent. A Kent brush is meant to last a lifetime, and perhaps even to become an heirloom, since just one person may not be able to wear out one of these brushes in a lifetime.

And, finally, on some sites devoted to high-end, high-quailty speciality items, including clothes brushes, one can find very nice, probably very effective, brushes for particular kinds of clothing. In my observation, these regularly cost three or four times what this Kent brushes cost. That is not to say that the Kent brush is inexpensive, it's not. But, in the larger world of such brushes, the quality and the price of the Kent brush are certainly remarkable.

I've never used a garment brush before, but I wanted to take better care of my sweaters bc they kept pilling. I took some time this week to brush my sweaters, remove pills and fuzz with an electric shaver, and then remove any new lint with another brushing. The brush is comfortable to hold; I'm glad that I chose one with a handle. However, the brush does keep intermittently shedding (see photo). I get if there's some initial shedding, but I'd think that a brush this expensive would have had that sorted out at the manufacturer"¦ I'll keep using it for a bit, but if it doesn't stop shedding then I'll have to return it. I'll add an update to this review at that time.
Agree with another reviewer that it would've been nice to have a hole in the handle so that you can hang it up. I guess though you can tie some cord on the handle where the inward curve is and hang it that way.

The handle fits well in the hand and is perfectly balanced. The brushes are gentle on clothing and does the trick. Kudos to the Brits!

I expected a larger item. And the item as delivered does not look like it's worth $44.00
So I'm returning it!

Useful. Performs well. Meets expectations.
