Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Herbert Touch Of Alpaca Wool Argyle Sweater: Choose this for a cozy cold-weather statement piece, which reimagines the classic argyle motif in a relaxed, oversized silhouette. This sweater combines the warmth of wool and alpaca with subtle flecks of natural linen, resulting in a fuzzy, brushed knit texture that adds authentic dimension.[1] | Giacoppo Cobalt Fluid Knit Sweater: Choose this for a cobalt blue sweater that delivers a relaxed fit with an impeccable drape and a slightly sheer finish ideal for layering in transitional seasons. This fine knit is crafted from a viscose, cotton, and linen blend, specifically featuring 49 percent viscose, 36 percent cotton, and 15 percent linen.[2,3,4,5] | Gretel Merino Wool Cardigan: Choose this if you want a simple, finely knitted cardigan in soft, lightweight 100% merino wool, with a straight cropped cut, ribbed crew neck and raglan sleeves finished with horn-effect buttons. It comes in Navy/Midnight Blue in sizes 0 through 3, and the compact knit has no patterns or surface decoration. Note it needs gentle care: hand washing at 40 degrees Celsius maximum, drying flat away from light, no tumble drying, though dry cleaning is also allowed.[6,7,8,9] |
