Advent Calendar | #2 Nigel Cabourn - Everest Knit

Patterned knits have really exploded this season, with fair isle as the poster example. But there's also a number of really nice knits that aren't in fair isle, like this one from Nigel Cabourn done in an 'Everest' pattern with a red accent.

 Done in alpaca wool with a shawl collar and Corozo buttons, this could very well become your go-to winter knit. 

Also available in blue. 

Object | Our Legacy - Great Sweatshirt

Some items are an essential part of any man's wardrobe. The grey crew-neck sweater is one of those pieces. Though pretty basic it is also very versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the situation and your mood. Because you'll probably end up wearing the sweater a lot, it's important to find a good one that you like.

Personally, I'm a fan of Our Legacy's version called the Great Sweatshirt., which is just exactly what it is. There's not much else to say about it; the fit is.. well, great and the fabric too. Overall it's pretty much perfect. This season's take on it is the 'inside-out', I prefer the original version though. Also available in off-white and sundried red for those who feel that grey is too dull (or, like me, have way too much grey clothes in their wardrobe already)

Object | S.N.S. Herning - Bark S/S Knit Sweater

The danish master of knit-wear, S.N.S. Herning, are widely famous for their fisherman-style cardigans that draw inspiration from the brand's heritage and have conquered the world in the last year. Now they've also made a short-sleeved knit sweater, called Bark.

Originally issued in 1976 apparently, the model has now been re-released. Knitted in cotton in a white and indigo-stripe pattern, this is a piece perfect for summer and would probably be pretty ideal for a more cloudy summer days (there will be those too, unfortunately) or in the evenings. Available at Gargyle.
