Knitwear In Review

Features

It's layering season. A high quality and long lasting mid-layer is essential in the colder months, making knitwear a perfect partner. From Beams Plus' 1950s inspired mohair, to graphic havoc from Aries, to classic colour blocked pullovers, we run through the best selection of knitwear we have on-site right now. Read and learn...

'50s Inspired Knits

A timeless style, our '50s inspired knits illustrate a Japanese take on a classic American preppy and collegiate style. Beams Plus and Flagstuff hit the nail on the head with their selection of cardigans and polo shirts, made from a mohair/wool blend, providing warmth in the form of quality fabrics.

Patterned Knits

Patterned knitwear pieces from the likes of Needles, Manastash and Wacko Maria are often crated from a mohair / wool blend for an elevated construction. Can be dressed up or dressed down, worn as an outer later when the weather is warmer, a mid-layer for when it's not. Real wardrobe staple.

Loose Gauge Knits

Riding the line somewhere between grunge and statement knits, loose gauge is a great option if fabric detailing is what you're looking for in knitwear. Opt for a slouchy, oversized and very loose knit from Magic Castles, double lock knitted mohair from Our Legacy, or a colour pop from Stussy's pigment-dyed sweater.

Graphic Knits

Avant-garde designs blending subversive graphics and cosy comfort. Elevating knits in a louder way via embroidered scorpions on Fucking Awesome cardigans, knitted all-over Stone Henge graphics by Aries, and stitched cobweb graphics from Heresy.

SHOP GRAPHIC KNITS

Vests

A classic garment reimagined through a streetwear lens, steering away from it's 'nerdy' stereotype as often displayed in American high school films. Made popular in recent times by Tyler, The Creator and ASAP Nast, who have been documented wearing loud animal prints and bright colours. Check the Brain Dead polka dot iterations and digital tie-dye style prints from Stussy.
