Features

A sturdy v neck sweater made of 100% superfine lambswool from Todd & Duncan's prestigious Lamaine range, regarded as the world's softest lambswool.

This is no ordinary lambswool. It is just as warm, hardy, moisture-wicking and breathable as the chunkiest of lambswool, but does not have the same coarse texture often associated with lambswool, thanks to it being the world's finest (and therefore softest) of its kind. 

Naturally springy and resilient (given the long staple length of the fibre), it is also very good at keeping its shape, much like the best merino wool garment, except that it is thicker and warmer.

A versatile, timeless staple, perfect for bitingly cold days when a merino sweater may not be warm enough but you still want to wear a sweater that fits under a blazer or winter coat without it feeling too bulky. 

The sweater features a deeper v-neck for a slimming effect on the wearer.

Its versatility, supreme comfort and durability make this a real Trojan of a sweater that will keep you company for decades to come.  

Fit

• This style runs small. We recommend that you take one size up from your usual size
• Please see size guide at the bottom of the page
• Slim modern fit but has a small amount of natural stretch and moulds to body over time
• Body of sweater tapers slightly from the chest down to the hem to give a more fitted look by minimising excess fabric often found around the waist of sweaters
• Smaller armhole compared to traditional "baggy" sweaters, without being overly restrictive

As Worn

Model wears size 38/S. He measures: chest circumference 36" (92cm); height 6"1 (185cm). 

Unrivalled Quality 

We are confident in bringing you the world’s finest knitwear because we only use the very best at every stage of manufacture:

Quality of fibre: 100% superfine lambswool of the highest quality, sourced from a special breed of South African sheep. Fibre diameter is c. 18.5 microns, making this the world's finest, softest lambswool (most lambswool averages 21 - 24 microns). Fibre length is c. 42mm - the longer staple length keeps the sweater in shape and avoids pilling.  

Quality of yarn: 1-ply superfine lambswool yarn (same thickness as 2-ply cashmere yarn) produced by spinners Todd & Duncan at their Loch Leven Mill in Kinross, Scotland, industry heavyweights who have been spinning yarn for 150 years - world renowned for their consistently high quality and strong yarns.  

Quality of knit: knitted, hand-finished and washed by fourth generation heritage knitwear specialists in Hawick, the Scottish Borders, a region whose expertise in the trade is without compare. Garments are knitted tightly to minimise gaps and to ensure longevity.

Quality of finish: there is a high degree of hand-finishing. The sweater is "fully-fashioned", as signified by the faint-dotted lines along the sleeve-head of the jumper. This makes the garment more well fitted, much like a bespoke suit. Individual pieces of the sweater are “hand-linked” - a meticulous process by which each tiny knit-loop at the end of each piece of the sweater is linked together by hand, ensuring the seams are the straightest and strongest. 

Quality of wash: the finished product is carefully washed in pure Scottish waters with the precise balance of minerals, so that the garment is given its famous soft handle without compromising the integrity of the fibres. Scottish knitwear may feel a little stiff to begin with but will soften naturally with age.

Size Guide 

Sizes for this style run small. We suggest taking the next size up from your usual size. The measurements of the garment are set out below. To ensure you have the correct size, you may wish to take a measuring tape to one of your existing jumpers with the best fit and compare measurements. Measurements are approximate, but any variance is minimal and will not impact overall fit given that knitwear has stretch.

Measurements are in cm:
