Details

A versatile layering piece made of luxurious cashmere in Scotland. Suited to the transitional months, worn under a jacket or as a standalone piece under a coat.

The cut is slightly slouchy, with a wider shoulder that emphasises the breadth of the wearer for a flattering silhouette. The V-neck is cut slightly deeper than usual, allowing a shirt to rest neatly in the opening, or leaving good space for a tie.

Anyone who’s worn a vest or sleeveless sweater knows how practical something like this is. It's a light layer of warmth on the body when you don't want to climb into a full long-sleeved sweater; the Scottish mills call the style a ‘slipover’ for that reason.

Simon says

"I used to have a particular navy vest – or tank top, or sleeveless sweater – that I wore all the time in my late twenties. It was the perfect thing to put on when I got home, replacing the suit jacket or blazer that I then hung up. It was wonderful to be able to create a more elevated version of that for the shop."

What our customers say

"Thought you might be interested to hear that six months in, six hand washes and dozens of wears, the slipover is holding up very well. Minimal pilling or attention has been needed to keep it well shaped and neat. Hope you're working on a long-sleeve V-neck!"
