I thought I'd start the conversation about Esk Cashmere knitwear, which hails from Scotland, land of hardy woolen wear. Esk is no exception. Although, it seems to be the luxurious counterpart to Inverallan and Inis Meain. Esk's fibers are largely pure cashmere, but also include extrafine merino (sometimes mixed with cashmere), Egyptian cotton, camel hair, and occasionally Shetland wool. All knits are fully fashioned, and constructed in their own factory.
Aside from their online shop, I've only seen men's Esk carried at Matches Fashion, and a few bits at Kafka and Monocle. I don't know how much they produce for other labels, but I am fairly certain that they made the three Nigel Cabourn knits that I own.
Their women's and home lines are as equally luxurious;
Here are a couple good interviews with Stuart Maxwell & Lorraine Acornley:
