Uniqlo's cashmere resists pilling, J.Crew's is now Grade-A (incredibly soft; longevity to be seen), COS outclasses pricier knits with fewer styles, and Nordstrom's is thinner than Uniqlo's. N.Peal is a step up from the mall brands, and Johnston's of Elign is even more luxurious. Those are sweaters you buy for decades and pass on to the next generations. I'm 5'7", and I'm usually size S.
