What we would tell you in the studio

  • Crew neckline and placket. A close round neck sits flat against the collarbone. The knitted front placket uses dyed-to-match buttons that close securely, keeping the front line neat whether fastened fully or left partially open.
  • Short sleeve proportion. The sleeves end well above the elbow with a clean knitted finish. This keeps the underarms light when worn beneath jackets, without gathering excess fabric around the shoulders.
  • Cropped straight hem. The body cut falls straight down to the natural waistline. Because it does not taper or cling at the lower edge, it rests evenly over high-waisted trousers and slip dresses.
  • Cold water care. Hand wash in cold water or use dry cleaning to protect the knit structure. Press gently in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat on a drying rack away from direct heat.

Living with this one

Do

  • Wash cold and on the gentle cycle, or by hand if the yarn feels loose.
  • Dry it flat, in shape, away from the radiator.
  • Fold it on the shelf rather than hanging it by the shoulders.
  • Measure a jumper you already like and compare it before you settle on a size.

Skip

  • Bleach and fabric softener, both of them flatten the surface.
  • The hot tumble dryer, which is how knit becomes one size smaller.
  • Hangers with thin shoulders, they leave two points that never come out.
  • Ironing directly on the face of the knit.
