Fedeli Gordon Wool-Cashmere Knit Jacket Midnight Blue

The Gordon is a knitted jacket in midnight blue, with a shirt collar and a button front. It wears like a cardigan but looks like a jacket, perfect for relaxed smart days at the office or a weekend lunch, over a shirt or a fine roll-neck. Fedeli is an Italian knitwear house, founded in 1934 and known for its cashmere and fine cotton.

The heavy textured knit gives it an almost tailored feel. Virgin wool is new wool, shorn from the sheep and used for the first time rather than recycled. The 30% cashmere, the fine underhair of the cashmere goat, adds softness.

Fedeli uses Italian sizes: 48 is about an M, 50 an L, 52 an XL. Take your usual size. Midnight blue is a deep, dark blue, close to navy, that goes with white, grey and beige. For a sweater with the same presence, see the Net sweater in midnight blue.
