Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

[Rowyourboat]

I was wearing my William Lockie chirnside cable knit today and just thinking what a great sweater. Definitely a heirloom piece for me.

Does anyone by chance own a Fioroni Duvet sweater in size 48 and can maybe provide measurements? Also, is anyone aware of a chocolate/dark brown (cashmere) cable knit sweater? I tried JoE but their unisex range does not fit me at all.

In any case thanks in advance.

I have an Attolini (same as Fioroni) in EU50, it's 55cm pit to pt.

I want to remark how nice the hand feels, so dry, dense and silky. It seems impossible that it could ever pill.

Probably wrong focus, but lovely tweed!

Nice color on the turtleneck as well.

Always nice to hear!

I really like this shade for a jumper, at least for myself. I also often wear a similar colour in a Super Geelong V-neck.

The jacket is one of my favourites from our MTO/MTM program.

Was just comparing the William Lockie made Permanent Style Rugby with one of my 3 ply Rubato cashmere pieces and interestingly, the manufacturer, size and care labelling, even down to the label material used is identical. Would certainly suggest, as I had previously suspected, that the Rubato Scottish made cashmere pieces which now seem to be sold out are WL made. My impression is that the Rubato pieces are a slight level above the usual WL stock items.

Personally, I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of Rubato's knitwear is made by WL.

Speaking of William lockie, not sure if it is bad form to mention I have just listed a lockie Oxton on eBay on a really nice sky blue (unusual colour for lockie , I think it was an exclusive for mr porter ) Lovely jumper but the size isn’t quite right for me ( 40inch) £219.99

Thank you! I had the opportunity to touch one in a store two years ago and it still has not left my mind. It seems like EU48 would be the way to go. Maybe, somewhere, I can find one in a (dark) green or brown...

30% discount on everything yesterday in the KaDeWe store, so I have grabbed this delicious 8-ply cashmere crew neck sweater by Johnstons of Elgin in Ash colour.

It's an S size, 49cm chest width.

Tried this on in the JoE store on New Bond Street recently and it’s a really lovely piece. Great colour too.

A lovely colour indeed. It's a little warmer in reality than what looks in my pictures.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this pair of pure cashmere gloves from A Hume (made by Lockie) already looks pretty beat up after a week of traveling. I'll give it a wash and maybe use an electric shaver to remove the pills once I get home.

I do have a pair of wool lined dark brown leather gloves from hestra, but I thought they'd be too dressy (I dress much more casually when traveling - sneakers, jeans, bomber jackets, rather than dress shoes and sport coats).

Hi I am liking the look of Fioroni , the price is a bit top end for me E 830 for a nice half zip / E 995 for duvet on their website . Does anyone know of any cheaper places to purchase online ? (not ebay as I am wary re fakes) does anyone have any experience of their "normal" cashmere ? how would it compare to the cashmere ie own (lockie / malo /JoE) also with their duvet cashmere is it like a thicker ie 4 ply knit? many thanks in advance

Does anyone know which William Lockie stockists will do MTO knits and also ship to North America?

You could consider gloves in shearling: I think that they are casual enough for your needs.
