Doriani Cashmere Cashmere Half-Zip Sweater Mid Grey

A half-zip sweater in 100% cashmere from Doriani in mid grey, with a stand-up collar, a metal zip puller and ribbed cuffs and hem. Zipped up it protects your neck like a turtleneck; open, it shows a shirt collar for a neat but relaxed look.

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 half zip runs from the collar to mid-chest; the stand-up collar rises straight up instead of folding over. Rib is a knit of raised and recessed lines that stretches and springs back. Slim fit means it follows the body closely without feeling tight.

Mid grey is the easy neutral that goes with everything, from a navy suit to dark jeans and white sneakers. Made in Italy by Doriani, a Milanese family company specialising in cashmere, in sizes 44 to 56.
