Modern Yarns and Heritage Style
The Guide Sweater is a modern classic, directly inspired by classic alpinist and mountaineering styles, but updated and upgraded with extra fine 18.5 micron, machine washable, merino yarns.

Expertly Made in Italy by a Family-Owned Mill
We partnered with a family-owned, fine Italian woolen mill that has been making sweaters for generations. With the grand Dolomites in their backyard, they know a thing or two about mountaineering sweaters.
From Matterhorn to the outpost on Illus, the Guide Sweater is the highest quality, premium, old school, technical mid-layer with timeless styling for those who value ruggedness and fine classic design.

Phenomenal quality in every respect. It can be worn as casual or dress, even with the elbow and shoulder pads. I’m 6’3” with 36” sleeve length, 36” waist and 47” chest and the XL fits like it was tailored for me. I own high end merino sweaters and this one surpasses the others by far. Can’t wait for the black to be back in stock. MB.

High Quality, super impressed
I didn’t know what to expect but I’m super impressed by the Guide Sweater. Medium was almost too small for me but I’m making it work. Quality is superb. It came in handy during the deep freeze. The tall collar zipped up around the neck was clutch for keeping out the biting cold! BRAVO!

The Real Deal
This is 2 lbs. of quality pullover! Excellent weaving and stands up to the cold on its own. 22 F with a t-shirt and this--no problem! Looks like a million bucks too. Very happy with purchase. Thanks!
