The LORTON 003 is a new silhouette knitted in 100% locally- sourced British Bluefaced Leicester Wool. Taking the traditional Henley shape, we've knitted this piece with a straighter fit with an ease and drape that makes it so easy to wear. Finished with five buttons made in England from the Corozo nut, the HENLEY is British luxury layering at its best. Available in two natural colourways, in limited quantities.
We recommend airing as the best way to look after your knit. That's why we started a club. A Wash Less, Air More Club. We'd love you to join us.

The Details
A new LORTON shape knitted in our 100% locally-sourced British Bluefaced wool in a shade that's just as nature intended - Undyed Ecru.
With its five button funnel neck fastening, this jumper can be worn un-done and draped or buttoned up and folded for a more traditional funnel neck.
The shoulders have a subtle drop, giving the style that 'just the right amount' of slouch.
Made in Nottinghamshire, each piece is fully-fashioned - where each piece of the Henley is knitted separately and then linked together by hand and hand-finished. This means that not only is this knit of the highest quality, but that also there is minimal, often zero, waste.
England's finest wool
This jumper is made from 100% British Bluefaced Leicester wool. The Bluefaced Leicester sheep yields some of the finest fleeces of any British breed. A micron of 25 – which has a wonderful lustre, strength and drape.
Sourced exclusively from a collective of farms in the north west of England via Upland Yarns, this wool is spun in Yorkshire using just water and organic detergents, and enables us to create beautiful British knitwear from sheep to sweater within 300 miles.
