Styling & Fit

1. Classic Heritage Combination: Wear buttoned over a finely striped Oxford shirt with tailored grey flannel trousers and leather Oxford shoes for a quintessentially British smart-casual look.
2. Smart Casual Ease: Layer over a plain polo shirt with chinos and suede boots for a relaxed, polished weekend ensemble with genuine heritage character.
3. Contemporary Pairing: Combine with dark slim trousers and a simple crew-neck beneath for a clean, layered modern look where the knit detail adds visual interest and depth.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash in lukewarm water with a specialist knitwear or wool detergent — avoid twisting or wringing which stresses the fine-knit structure.
• Reshape carefully while damp and lay flat on a clean towel to air-dry — never tumble dry fine knitwear as heat causes shrinkage and distortion.
• Fold and store flat in a breathable garment drawer with cedar to maintain shape, prevent stretch, and protect against moths during off-season storage.
