That’s useful! I always find the pictures from A Hume to be the most accurate available online.Speaking of Lockie, someone here asked about green cashmere colors a while back, and I offered to post these. Then I forgot...

N Peal and Paine are now just brand names without manufacturing facilities. Peal used to sell sweaters made for it by Laing and others until the early 1990s when it bought its own facility in Scotland. It then shut down for a few years in the early 2000s to refocus and has relaunched as a cashmere brand whose product is usually labelled made in China. Someone in this thread said they had some MTO done that was labelled Made in England, but in any case, I don't have experience with it and there's no reason to believe quality has been consistent across the decades and different makers. Paine was a famous knitwear house in Godalming England that I believe went out of business and was relaunched a few times, at one point in the early 2000s as a made in China label. I think it's re-relaunched recently but have no recent experience with it. For vintage it'll really depend from which period the Peal/Paine stuff you're looking at is from.Any thoughts on either N. Peal and Alan Paine? I have two old (early 70s that I bought vintage and mid 80s that was a Christmas present my senior year in high school) Shetlands from the latter that are still going strong. Any reason to go a bit higher in price and with whom? I checked John Smedley and no pure cashmere and no black v-necks in their merino-cashmere blend.
It was me and thank you so much for this. Would you say serpentine has cold or warm undertones?Speaking of Lockie, someone here asked about green cashmere colors a while back, and I offered to post these. Then I forgot...

Anyone know who makes the knitwear for Bergdorf Goodman? I saw in store and it looks great
I already own Loro Piana knits but I just placed an order for a baby cashmere crewneck, this time for an experiment: I plan to wear the thing every day while working from home, giving it no special treatment except handwashing when needed, will be happy to provide a review after a week.
After returning the JOHNSTONS 6-ply I bought a LORO PIANA baby cashmere crewneck in pegasus blue. I was planning to experiment by wearing it consecutively for a week to assess durability.
This is to report that I returned the thing immediately upon receipt. Although marketed as "superlight", it was too dangerously thin and flimsy for my liking. This particular style was 1/3 the weight of the WILLIAM LOCKIE Oxton 1-ply.
Caveat emptor. You can probably find much better use for that amount of dough (USD $1,425 + tax).
The LORO PIANA style code is FAF6086.

Just like a baby. Antoine Arnault would ask you why you hate zee babies. j/k LP is infamous for constantly trying to arms race esoteric luxury fibres so it can sell them for a huge amount.The knit felt delicate and fragile, and thin jumpers tend to not wear well.
