RUTH alpaca knit jacket-cardigan - dark gray

RUTH – the comfort of a knit, the line of a jacket

RUTH is a double-breasted knitted jacket, fastened with four buttons, with a notched lapel collar. It is knitted in moss stitch.

There are two pockets at the hip. This color is available in size M: 68 cm long and 104 cm around the body.

Alpaca makes up 40% of the blend. The full breakdown is below.

Every panel of this piece is knitted to shape on its own – fully-fashioned, never cut out of a length of knitted fabric. The panels are then hand-linked: a person feeds the open stitches onto the linking machine one loop at a time, so the seams stretch with the knit.

It is hand-finished – the buttons are sewn on by hand, and it is hand-steamed over a shaped pad and washed before it leaves the workshop, so it arrives at its true size and stays there. The yarn is spun in Italy.

I design every piece myself, and it is knitted in a small workshop here in Lithuania – a few at a time, never off a production line.

Every piece passes through my hands before it is packed – I check each one myself before it goes out.

It arrives in a plain brown box with the care card inside and nothing else – no filler paper, no leaflets. That is a choice, not a saving – I would rather use less than print something that is made to be thrown away.

Dark gray is the quiet one – it goes with denim as easily as with tailoring.

Color – dark gray.
