A Transitional Weather Staple
The Organic
Cotton Option
• Made of 100% organic cotton. Soft, but not as luxe as wool.
• A thick, machine washable waffle-knit stitch adds weight and texture
• Includes side pockets, so this could be worn as a main layer during the cooler evenings come spring
• Although this is the most affordable of the three, it’s probably the warmest

The Merino
Wool Option
• Made of 100% traceable extra-fine merino wool in a two-ply, 12 gauge knit
• Due to the extra-fine wool, the sweater is hand wash only
• The shoulder seam is reinforced for a contemporary look. This is on the slimmer side, so size up for a looser fit.
• The dressiest of the three, with understated folded cuff hems and double-folded bottom hem

The Cashmere Option

• Lightweight and breathable, yet naturally warm and insulating
• The two-way zippers have a heft to them since they’re made of brushed nickel
• Due to the cashmere, the sweater is hand wash only
