Doriani Cashmere Cashmere Turtleneck Chocolate Brown

A turtleneck in 100% cashmere from Doriani in chocolate brown, with a fold-over collar, long sleeves and ribbed cuffs and hem. It keeps you warm without bulk, so it fits under a blazer or coat as easily as it stands on its own.

Cashmere is the fine, soft undercoat of the cashmere goat: it is lighter than sheep's wool, yet very warm. Fine gauge means many small, tightly packed stitches, which give a smooth, thin knit. A fold-over collar is a high collar that you fold down once, so it sits double around your neck. Rib is a knit of raised and recessed lines that stretches and springs back.

Chocolate brown is the warm alternative to navy: it looks good under a camel coat or a grey wool blazer, with off-white or stone trousers. Made in Italy by Doriani, a Milanese family company specialising in cashmere, in sizes 44 to 56.
