Lambswool crewneck

Part of Monocle’s continental collection, this crewneck is knitted in Scotland on a seamless loom. The machine ensures that each piece comes out in a continuous, tube-like fabric, providing the strength, comfort and close fit of the jumpers. Available in silver, scotspine or walnut. Jumpers are brushed for a shaggy look. Consider sizing up, as the style fit is small.
