The Most Luxurious Women's Round Neck Sweater You'll Ever Own!

Alright, you've all heard of sweaters before. we don't need to tell you what they are. And the crew neck is pretty common too. You know they come everywhere from thin crappy synthetics to thick wool knits... And wonky wool textures, cotton knits, and linen blends made for summer layering, and luxurious cashmere, and stuff with a little silk built-in...

They're a real basic. we are bet you have at least one. because heat is expensive and putting on a sweater is cheap. Put This On just called crew neck shetlands the most versatile sweater. It's no surprise that they came out to be our first real repeat. (We might do Jeans or OCBDs again soonish, but there's still new ground to cover, so I encourage you guys to pick something new).

Me booking a flight: Jesus H that involves a FIVE FUCKING HOUR LAYOVER? Where does it stop?

Me: ... That's on the right side of the ocean.

Me: How long is the train ride to my final destination?

principles of a dark academic's wardrobe

1. conservatism: everything should be worn for decades, until it falls apart at the seams. 2. neatness: shirts should be tucked; shoes polished; sweaters patched at the first sign of wear.

3. attention to detail: everything should match down to the cut, weave, and color. 4. practicality: layering to deal with varying weather. rain clothes to keep you dry; winter clothes to keep you warm; buttoned-down collars to keep them from flapping up in your face as you sprint across campus in the dead of night 5. quality: everything should be well-made and built to last. fine fabric; soundly constructed; hand tailored.

6. natural fibers: wool, cotton, and occasionally silk and cashmere are key.

7. anglophilia: shetland sweaters, harris tweed, burberrys, tartans, regimental ties.

8. sporting look: dressed for beagling or duck hunting, even if you’ve never been. fisherman’s sweaters and flannel-lined khakis are de rigeur. 9. androgyny: clothes should deny specifics of gender.

Morning gentlemen. New in the store today is this stunning Ojai Jacket in Shetland Moss from @taylorstitch . Taylor Stitch have worked some magic with the fabric on this jacket - it's a blended wool so you get the qualities of Shetland Wool, with a fabric that won't itch against your skin, will keep its shape over the years, and will resist piling too. Fits true to size guys - for reference I'm 182cm, 80kg...by now you all now my stats...and I take the 40 Medium in this jacket. It gives me enough room to wear it over a thick sweater or other layers if needed. Really lovey jacket this one. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

ANTIQUARIAN STYLE

by Daniel Penny

A few weeks ago, I attended the New York Antiquarian Book Fair for the first time. It was one of those days in early March when there still aren’t any buds on the trees, but the sun seems to hint at a warmer future. Walking toward the Armory on 67th street, Park Avenue seemed to be full of dazed New Yorkers wandering the streets after a long hibernation. Bookish types gathered on the sidewalk in front of the Armory in small clumps, as a steady stream of attendees wove in and out of its yawning doors.

The exterior of the Armory is a red brick gothic fortress, but the interior feels more like a cross between a private club and Grand Central Station. The massive building was designed by architect Charles W. Clinton in 1880 for the Seventh Regiment, an infantry outfit who were colloquially known as the “Silk Stocking Regiment” or the “Blue Blood Regiment.” Clinton himself was a veteran of the Seventh Regiment, and along with Louis Comfort Tiffany (who worked on the building’s interior), Clinton lavished incredible ornaments on the New York home of his brothers in arms: hand carved wood panelling throughout, tremendous chandeliers, and a coffered ceiling in the Viking Revival style,  In the center of the building is the drill hall, a vaulted space that has become a celebrated cultural venue and was now full of book stalls. The Park Avenue Armory hasn’t housed soldiers for decades, but when I visited for the New York Antiquarian Book Fair, there were still plenty of silk stockings about.

If you survey New Yorkers about Upper East Side style, the words that most likely come up are “rich” “stuffy”, and “preppy.” I grew up and still live in Brooklyn, which has a more casual, rebellious set of style mores; there have been times when I would have scoffed at these dusty grandies. But now, as an adult here by choice and attending an event that prized all things old-fashioned, I decided to have a little fun and embrace the vibe. All I’ll say of my outfit is that it relied heavily on Drake’s, and when I got hot, I let myself tie my Shetland sweater sleeves around my shoulders in a kind of prep drag I would never attempt in my native borough. Some of the other attendees had really taken the opportunity to embrace their inner Professor Plum, with wide wale cords and lumpen jackets; others tried a more slick Continental art auctioneer look, with dark suits, open white shirts, and black tassel loafers. One elderly gentleman who pushed past me to get a closer look at a bookcase was dressed in a yellow sport coat, pink shirt, tweed newsboy cap, and thick-framed, rose-tinted glasses. In my mind, I declared him the winner of the day.

Beyond getting a fit off, I was also there to see some books. The New York Antiquarian Book Fair has been going strong for 59 years, and has developed a reputation as one of the best places to find rare and old books, photographs, maps, and every other kind of printed matter. The place was bustling with some 200 booksellers from around the world, along with thousands of bibliophiles--many of whom had traveled just as far for a chance to handle and perhaps acquire some prized tome.

I myself hadn’t come seeking anything in particular, but toward the end of the afternoon, I did find something of interest: a set of posters made by Paris art students from the May 1968 protests. “Retour A La Normal” (Return to normal) reads one orange screen print, with a dozen crudely drawn sheep beneath. “La Lutte Continue” (The struggle continues!) says another in red, layered on top of students with raised fists. The price was a bargain, and walking out onto Park Avenue, I was thrilled with my purchase, though I couldn’t help laughing at myself. In the fanciest environs, I’d gravitated to the most anti-capitalist object I could find. Despite my Upper East Side attire, I guess I was still a Park Slope lefty.

Five Suggestions for Buying Better Sweaters

I love good knitwear. Chunky, heavy-gauge sweaters, plush merinos, and various neckline styles, from crew to turtlenecks. This year has been unusually warm, but I’m thankful to be able to wear my sweaters again. A good knit can be a nice way to punch up a plainer, more casual outfit, as well as serve as an important layering piece under a tailored jacket. Some outfits don’t even look right without them -- heavy parkas and bombers, for example, almost cry out for a sweater to be worn underneath.

Finding the right sweater entirely depends on your wardrobe, but I’ve found there are some general guidelines that can help almost anyone. These aren’t hard rules, per se, just suggestions on how to find something that will last, both in terms of construction and design. 

1. Avoid Cheap Cashmere: You can find cashmere sweaters nowadays for as little as $75. And they’re all terrible. Cashmere comes from the soft underhairs of a goat, which means it takes an incredible amount of material and labor to knit a single sweater -- from the gathering of the hairs to the spinning of yarns to the actual knitting. Cheap cashmere sweaters cut back in this process in two ways. The first is to use shorter fibers for the yarns; the second is to knit the sweater with more slack. As a customer, it’s almost impossible to identity these things when you’re in a store, but over time, you’ll find cheap cashmere sweaters pill and bag out easily. Unless a cashmere sweater is coming from a reputable company and retailing for over $400, it’s probably not worth your money. Instead, aim for other wools, such as Shetland, merino, and lambswool. They’ll offer you better value. 

2. Be Careful with Cotton: A good, sturdy sweatshirt is incredibly useful, and some high-end cotton sweaters can also be nice. That said, many pure cotton sweaters, particularly on the low-end of the price spectrum, aren’t terribly great. Unlike wool, cotton fibers don’t have a natural crimp, which means they don’t spring back when stretched. Over time, without constant washing and drying -- which will ruin your sweater anyway -- a cotton sweater will start to lose its shape. I’m not as against cotton sweaters as I used to be, but when buying one, I think more about the reputation of the brand. 

3. Think about Color and Texture: If you’re just starting to buy some nicer knitwear, stick with colors you can easily mix-and-match with other things in your wardrobe. Oftentimes, that’ll be navy, cream, and gray, which can be worn with tailored trousers or jeans. I also find textured knitwear to be more useful than the kind of smooth, plain-colored merinos you find everywhere. Those can be nice for layering under sport coats, but a cabled Aran or lofty lambswool sweater can be a great for adding visual interest in almost every other case. Aim for texture where you can. 

4. Play Loose with Sizing: We’re sticklers for fit, but sweaters don’t have to fit perfectly. Knits are forgiving and can look perfectly fine -- sometimes even better -- when they’re a bit loose. If you’re concerned about it, know that some sweaters can be altered if you have the right tailor, or even DIY blocked at home to achieve what you need. You can’t make a size large fit like a medium, but you can make subtle adjustments. A lot depends on the sweater and what you’re trying to get, however, so read up on the possibilities before buying. 

5. Softness Isn’t Everything: People often conflate softness with quality, but softness isn’t everything. Cashmere sweaters, for example, are sometimes put through a washing process to make the sweaters feel softer and more appealing to customers in stores. That same washing process, however, can break down the yarns and make them more likely to pill (not all cases, but often so). Similarly, some knitwear manufacturers will even spray their sweaters with a chemical to make them feel plush. A thick, plush sweater can be a wonderful thing, but don’t put too much stock in softness when shopping around. Trustworthy brands and stores are often more reliable indicators of quality.

For more on knitwear, see our guides on how to wash a sweater, how to take care of pilling, and general advice on knitwear care.
