The Finest Crewneck no-returnsThe Finest Crewneck is a luxury staple. A piece to be worn every day, yet the finest of its type anywhere. The Finest Knitwear uses one of the finest merino yarns, and the finest knitting gauge. It uses merino rather than cashmere because, lovely as cashmere is, when knitted finely it tends to pill and to lose its shape. Fine merino, on the other hand, approaches cashmere in its feel but pills less, holds its shape and looks sharper. As to the gauge,
"I liked the occasional Japanese gentleman I had seen wearing one that ran in a horizontal line from the forehead to the back of the head - small and neat
It is highly water-resistant (as Simon says in the launch post
so the tailor knows who it’s for
cuffs or lines of stitching
great quality and feels great on
but not particularly delicate - certainly compared to cashmere
I wanted something that could be versatile
but also fold softly forwards
and if in doubt compare to a coat you already own
Simon says: "The result is a piece that feels like elevated sportswear
The results are fascinating
Fine merino
