Fabric

This knit is constructed from a blend of Merino wool, cotton, linen and elastane making it an ideal transseasonal garment. Merino wool is valued for its warmth, insulation and moisture-wicking properties, moving perspiration and moisture away from the body and towards the surface of the fabric. The natural crimp and scales on the wool fibres create tiny pockets of air that allow for moisture to be absorbed and released quickly. The addition of cotton improves the durability and shape of the garment. Cotton fibres add strength and stability, reducing stretching and sagging over time. Linen, on the other hand, is brilliantly breathable. It allows air to circulate and heat to dissipate, keeping you cool and comfortable in warm weather. And it is extremely strong and durable, capable of withstanding regular wear and tear. Elastane is a stretch filament. When used in garments, elastane provides stretch and flexibility, allowing for increased freedom of movement and a comfortable fit.

Construction

This garment is made with natural shoulders, which means the shoulders are stripped of excess structure and padding. It is a sartorial technique commonly associated with Neapolitan tailoring allowing the shoulders to drape naturally, without the stuffiness of padding. This creates a softer, more relaxed silhouette that follows the contours of the body without excessive stiffness or structure.
