Crafted from 100% supersoft lambswool, spun by the legendary Todd and Duncan in Scotland, this sweater is more than just clothing—it’s a celebration of British craftsmanship.

The Stanley Crew Neck Knit offers a classic silhouette, featuring a crew neck with 2×2 rib collar, cuffs, and hem, ensuring a snug fit that retains its shape over time.

Knitwear has a storied history rooted in functionality, dating back to the simple yet iconic pieces worn by fishermen and workers who braved the elements. These sweaters were designed for warmth, durability, and comfort—qualities that have since made them a staple in both workwear and casual style. The Stanley Crew Neck Knit embodies this same ethos, blending practicality with style to create a sweater that’s perfect for today’s modern adventurer.

The lambswool used in the Stanley Knit is unbelievably soft, durable, and spun with precision and care, ensuring a level of quality that makes this sweater a joy to wear. Plus, with recycled polyester labels and an approach that combines heritage techniques with modern sustainability, this knit is as responsible as it is luxurious.
