How to choose a men's cashmere sweater
A fine men's cashmere sweater is judged on three things: the quality of the yarn, the number of plies and the fit.
Choose your knit
Our yarns are certified by the Sustainable Fibre Alliance (SFA), which guarantees sustainable production of animal fibers. Then choose your knit, as it gives the sweater its thickness, and so the season you will wear it. Our Malmö knit, fine and light, suits mild days and slips easily under a coat. Our Stockholm knit, knitted in 2-ply, stays supple and light for the in-between season while keeping you warm all winter. Knitted in 4-ply, the same Stockholm quality becomes thick and cocooning: it is made for the coldest days.
Find your fit and neckline
The crew neck is the most versatile and goes with everything. The V-neck slips under a shirt, with or without a tie. The turtleneck is the most elegant, and the warmest when the cold sets in. The zip collar can be worn open or closed, between casual and dressy.
When it comes to fit, it all depends on the style. Each product page gives the style's fit, with a size chart and our "What's my size?" tool. For unisex styles, we recommend taking one size above your usual size. Three markers help you check the fit: the shoulder seam falls at the end of the shoulder, the sleeves stop at the base of the wrist, and the hem reaches belt height. A straight cut is worn close to the body, under a jacket; an oversize cut offers a roomier, more relaxed drape.
