The list of desirable shawl neck knitwear is an ever growing one and this 3.1 Phillip Lim jumper is another addition. We all know shawl necks are great by now, but this one has a couple of quirks that allow it to stand out from the pack. For instance, take the toggles on the neck line – they allow you to use the shawl detail as a makeshift scarf should the weather take an unexpected turn. The cable detailing around the waist and lower arms also gives it a vintage feel, but without the endless searching for items and musty smell. Get it from Oak.

South2 West8 produced two knit sweaters paying homage to patterns designed by the Cowichan Tribe of British Columbia, Canada. The Cowichan Tribe lived in climate where winters required heavy layering to keep warmth. The Cowichan target pattern delivered in black and white wool (and the reverse) may be a simple design but speaks chapters about it’s heritage and roots. Find it now at Nepenthes.
