Sea Island Cotton Crew Sweater
About John Smedley’s sweaters: John Smedley is a 240-year-old English knitwear house — fine-gauge merino and Sea Island cotton sweaters fully-fashioned in Derbyshire, a benchmark for refined fine knits.
Is the price honest?
Our take
John Smedley is one of the oldest knitwear factories in the world, and its fine-gauge merino and Sea Island cotton sweaters are a benchmark for refined, lightweight knits. Each is fully-fashioned (knitted to shape, not cut) in Derbyshire, giving a clean finish and a slim, elegant drape. Owners praise the precision, the longevity and the way the fine gauge layers under tailoring. The honest caveats: the very fine 30-gauge knit is thin and less warm than chunky wool, the slim English cut runs close, and the price is premium. For a refined, long-lasting fine knit, it is a standard-setter.
