The Cashmere Rugby is a 4-ply collared cashmere sweater, produced by William Lockie via the William Crabtree shop in Marylebone, London.

Details

It's the one PS piece that works with everything from jogging bottoms to tailored trousers at the office, and can smarten up most people's office clothing too – the only other piece that does anything similar is the cream/black Donegal.

A 4-ply collared cashmere sweater, produced by William Lockie via the William Crabtree shop in Marylebone, London.

Simon considers a polo-collar sweater a particularly useful garment for the modern man – sharp and smart, yet relaxed. We brought the style back, given the value it offers relative to cheaper knits.

Sizing
  • The Cashmere Rugby has a classic shape, rather than slim
  • Simon wears a Large in the images here, but could also wear a Medium
  • Simon is six foot tall and has 39-inch chest
  • Chest is pit to pit, length is on the back from the bottom of the collar, sleeve is the under-sleeve seam
  • Please note, garments are marked by measure size of the chest itself, from 36 to 44. This is a Lockie convention and does not relate to the chest sizing usually used on tailoring

Material & Care
  • 4-ply, 15-gauge, 100% cashmere. It's been unavailable for years, generally considered uncommercial given the amount of cashmere used – and so too expensive to communicate effectively online.
  • Knitted and hand-linked in Scotland
Simon says

For Simon, it's the perfect winter throw-on sweater. "It's just so easy. The collar means you don't need to wear a shirt underneath, and yet it looks very put-together. The thickness means it goes just as well with jeans as with smart trousers – unlike the smarter Dartmoor – so it's good for the park, or a nice lunch."
