fab jumper
"Really pleased with this jumper, fitted so well, will buy other cotton items"
Our Slaithes cotton-linen sweater is a modern and lightweight addition to our heritage-inspired knitwear collection. This sweater draws inspiration from the iconic Guernsey jumpers and is reimagined with a contemporary saddle shoulder construction.
Crafted from a breathable and skin-friendly blend of 70% cotton and 30% linen, this sweater is built to last. It offers cool, natural comfort during warmer months and serves as a reliable piece for cooler spring and summer evenings. The textured shoulder pattern and intricate stitch details on the cuffs and hem pay tribute to classic gansey knits, while the set-in sleeve construction and contemporary silhouette ensure all-day comfort and timeless style.
