John Krasinski suits up for his big new role
As Jim Halpert, the moppy-haired paper salesman on NBC’s The Office, John Krasinski has given hope to lovelorn cube farmers across the nation. “I love his ability to see the world for what it is and not get caught up,” says Krasinski. “He may come off as unambitious, but at the same time, he doesn’t suffer the pitfalls of heartbreak.

The best cashmere comes from capra hircus goats, which roam Inner Mongolia, where freezing nights and scorching days force them to grow an under layer of exceptionally long, fine, soft fibers. Specialty producers own their own herds and carefully de-hair the goats to remove coarse strands from the fine under layer. “About 30 percent of cashmere is fraudulently labeled,” says watchdog Karl Spilhaus, of the Boston-based Camel Hair and Cashmere Institute of America. “To test the quality of a sweater, put one hand inside and the other outside, and rub it for 10 seconds.
