Shawl Cardigan in Black

$423.00

DESCRIPTION

McGeorge is a knitwear maker from Scotland with an incredible history spanning from 1881.  They also happen to be the actual creators of the Shawl Cardigan, often worn by actor Steve McQueen, after he commissioned McGeorge to make the piece for him.

This Shawl Cardigan is the same piece commissioned by and worn by Steve McQueen in a now famous photo shoot in California, stood beside McQueens car, and photographed by William Claxton.

This cardigan is in our opinion, the pinnacle of fine knitwear.  Made from a 7 gauge and 4 Ply wool and produced in an English Rib, this is a substantial piece of wool weighing in at just over 1.2kg, all put together with impeccable attention to detail.

The hand is incredibly soft as it is made from 90% Fine Wool and 10% Cashmere and the style, faithful to the original yet incredibly flattering.  Still made in Scotland today, this is a very special piece.
