Knitted in Hawick, Scotland, from pure two-ply cashmere, this men’s red cashmere sweater is the colour Britain keeps for the things it wants seen: the postbox, the Guardsman’s tunic, the poppy in November — scarlet with a crimson cast.

Fully fashioned, with each panel knitted to shape from 2/28Nm Scottish-spun cashmere yarn, the men's red cashmere jumper has a straight, easy fit and a downy softness against the skin, with a crewneck that sits clean at the collarbone. Worn beneath a navy overcoat, it is the one bright thing in an English winter.
