A fleece made from fleece.

We love a fleece for its warmth, lightness and ease. But most are made from polyester. Which got us thinking about Real Shetland wool.

From sheep raised on islands where the weather can be fierce, this remarkable wool is naturally light, wonderfully warm and resistant to wind and rain. Everything you want from a fleece, really.

Knitted in Scotland, with denser Scottish-spun lambswool at the collar and cuffs for that reassuring, jacket-like feel. A true Fair Isle, designed on Fair Isle by textile designer Marie Bruhat, with extraordinary detail in even the narrowest bands.

A new shape for a pattern with a long history. For when the wind bites.

Each piece is being knitted and finished in Hawick, Scotland right now. Pre-order for an early December delivery.

A relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette with an easy, lived-in slouch.

Take your usual size for a fit as shown in the images, or size up by one for a more oversized look. See the Size & Fit Guide above for more information.

This piece, crafted from 100% Shetland Wool is more fibrous and edgy than our Scottish-spun wool.

So while this wool has an inherent softness, it does have a little more kick to it than our smoother Scottish-spun yarn.

The finished garment is gently brushed in Scotland to raise a soft, subtle texture - the brushing enhances the warmth of the wool by gently deflecting wind, while making the fabric feel even softer against the skin.

It's hard to explain, but there's something very special about this brilliant hardy textured Shetland wool fibre. It feels proper, something your grandparents would have worn. And a knit of which they would heartily have approved.

Wear over our WEEKEND POLO or WEEKEND for luxurious layering.

Real Shetland Wool is remarkably light yet incredibly warm naturally. It's all you want from a true winter knit, without any bulky heaviness.

100% genuine Shetland wool from sheep who inhibit Shetland.

Designed on Fair Isle. Knitted and hand-finished in Scotland, with buttons made in England from the Corozo nut.

Less is best. Caring for 100% natural wool knitwear doesn't have to be complicated, we promise.

Wash Less, Air More
We recommend airing as the best way to look after your knit, with a hand wash in a basin (step away from the machine) every now and then. Read more about washing less and airing more. We believe in it so much that we even started a club.

Managing Pilling.
Soft fibres are liable to pill to some extent, even when it's the best wools in the world. Due to the brushed nature of this garment, we recommend gently removing any pilling balls by hand to keep your knit in tip top condition.
