a. Historically, Shetland wool has been associated with the colors of the Shetland isles, and this group of sweaters is no exception. We think the sea and surf reminiscent hues of these sweaters is especially appealing. The allure of Shetland wool is its softness and fluffy hand, so that the plain weave sweater is characterized by a good deal of loft. The banded sleeves and ribbed bottom are typical, as is the 2x1 ribbed crewneck. This season, we offer six mélange colors, three with deeper hues, and three with lighter shades. Our traditional oxford cloth cotton button down collar shirts are an ideal pairing for each sweater. From top to bottom: sunset, HW124-C; sunglow, HW125-A; surf, HW125-C; marine, HW124-B; rye, HW125-B; juniper, HW124-A.
