Description

For generations, Harley of Scotland has remained one of the few manufacturers dedicated to the art of genuine seamless knitting. Each sweater is knitted as a single continuous piece, eliminating side seams and conventional panel construction to provide a naturally balanced fit, exceptional comfort and outstanding durability.

This sweater is crafted from premium Supersoft Shetland Wool spun by J.C. Rennie at Milladen Mill in Scotland. Renowned for its warmth, breathability and resilience, the yarn preserves the authentic character of traditional Shetland wool while offering a noticeably softer feel through the careful selection of its fibres.

The signature Shaggy finish is achieved by brushing the completed garment once using a natural teasel (Dipsacus Fullonum), a dried thistle traditionally employed in Scottish wool mills. Its flexible hooks gently lift the fibres without causing damage, creating a soft halo that enhances warmth, loft and texture while preserving the wool's natural integrity.

Fit & Sizing

Its medium-weight knit and slightly open stitch structure provide an ideal balance between insulation and breathability. The regular fit and classic crew neck make it equally suited to layering over a T-shirt or shirt, whether worn beneath outerwear or as a standalone piece throughout the colder seasons.

Why we selected it

This sweater perfectly embodies the values that define Harley of Scotland: authentic Scottish craftsmanship, genuine seamless knitting, premium Shetland wool spun by J.C. Rennie and a traditional Shaggy finish achieved using natural teasels. The deep Sapphire shade offers timeless elegance and pairs effortlessly with raw denim, flannel trousers or classic chinos.
