I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these, but Im curious as hell. What are those little marks/ dots 1/4 inch off the neckline? When I first saw them, I thought that particular sweater had a defect of some kind, but then I saw it on all of them. I assume its stitching of some kind, but why is it so prominent?

Just meant to be an interesting detail.

Not to my taste, but might appeal to some.

Exactly; it's just a detail. Why is that so hard to discern?

You will find a similar look where the sleeves join the body.

It is a sign of quality.


Thank you for this
