The merino wool used by John Smedley is carefully sourced from farmers in New Zealand before being spun in Great Britain and this fine-knit sweater demonstrates the impeccable results. Dyed a rich Bordeaux shade, this surprisingly light and soft piece makes a sumptuous addition to your staples. Team it with classic navy outerwear or charcoal suiting for a considered combination. Shown here with a J.Crew shirt, Gant Rugger jacket and trousers, Canali pocket square and Mark McNairy shoes.
