Grunge-inspired distressed knit for everyday wear
A 100% wool, dark charcoal crew-neck sweater with deliberately placed hole details at the collar, cuffs, and hem for a grunge-inspired look of premature wear. Its long, relaxed silhouette with ribbed trim brings an effortless, textured style when you want a knit with unique character.[1,2]
Layering over a collared shirt
Style this sweater by layering it over a white collared shirt. The knit is distressed, causing the underlying garment to peek through the holes at the neckline and hem. This interaction allows the white shirt to show beneath the sweater's distressed areas.[3,4]
