We partnered with a family owned, fine Italian woolen mill that has been making sweaters for generations. With the grand Dolomites as their backyard, they know a thing or two about mountaineering sweaters.

As My Arm Slid In The Sleeve - I Knew

Pulling it on, I immediately knew it would fit and that it was a quality build. Feels heavier than any other similar garment I have owned. Definitely warm, sadly, as I know I will want to wear it year round if possible. Immediately at the top of my list for garments I have owned - right next to my Alpha SV etc.

A Cunning Cardigan

Suspiciously efficient of temperature regulation and comfort. The dashing style is deeper than the captivating knitwork. The first garment I've ever felt incapable of doing without. Abject in quality and utility, one deserves to own this beauty. Impeccable folks behind the knit and this brand. Support Prometheus Design Werx.
