Features

A luxurious, supremely soft and warm cashmere version of the thick submariner rollneck jumper worn by crews of the Royal Navy for over 100 years.

Just like its naval forebears, this is a hefty, durable rollneck sweater designed to keep the wearer warm in the most forbidding of wintry weather - made with 100% 4-ply cashmere at a weight of c. 550 grams no less, and knitted densely in an all-over rib stitch for extra warmth. Except that we have also chosen to use the world's highest quality cashmere yarn available from renowned Scottish yarn mill Todd & Duncan to make ours, making this an indulgently soft garment that you will never want to take off once worn. 

The modern, slimmer fit makes this a versatile piece that can be worn with smart trousers and a long winter coat as part of a more formal ensemble, or with denim and rugged outerwear for a more casual look. 

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
• Tall roll collar to keep your neck warm but not too tight to allow for a more comfortable fit around the neck
• 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

Unrivalled Quality

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

Quality of fibre: 100% cashmere of the highest quality sourced from inner Mongolia. Fibre diameter is c. 15.5 microns and length is c. 38mm, making the fibre the world's finest and longest, which means the softest and most durable. 

Quality of yarn: 4-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". 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.
