Knitted in Hawick, Scotland, from pure two-ply cashmere, this men’s purple cashmere sweater balances a downy softness against a reassuring heft. Its deep, blue-toned purple has the richness of indigo: violet ink dried on old blotting paper; an overdue rebuke to dutiful navy and grey.

Fully fashioned from 2/28Nm Scottish-spun cashmere yarn, the purple crewneck sweater has a straight, easy silhouette, finished with linked seams and traditional 1×1 ribbed cuffs and hem. Lay it against charcoal flannel and watch the grey deepen in gratitude.
