Each Slingsby is produced in England in limited colour runs and finished by skilled knitters using traditional hand linking techniques.

Description

The body and sleeves of the Slingsby are knitted in a structured waffle pattern that gives the piece its distinctive texture, adding breathability without sacrificing warmth.

The silhouette is cut to a tailored fit, giving the cardigan shape and presence whether worn open or buttoned close to the body.

Each panel is fully fashioned on specialist machinery, then linked by hand to create seams that are smooth and strong.

The shawl collar, hem, placket and cuffs are each knitted with three ends of yarn, a technique where three separate strands are worked together into one.

This adds weight, structure and substance to the garment, so it feels warm without ever feeling heavy to wear.

The buttons are natural horn, individually laser engraved with Barnfield Great Britain around the edge face.

There are no external pockets to interrupt the line of the knit or add unnecessary bulk.

The result is a cardigan that’s refined, structurally confident and made to hold its shape through years of wear.

Fabrics & care

Our knitwear is not preshrunk. Agitating the finished garments in a washing machine effects the yarn and changes the finish significantly.

This means anything other than careful dry cleaning will effect your Slingsby poorly.

If it needs a clean, your best bet is to use a very slightly damp cloth to spot clean any dirt or build up.

If you do need to visit a dry cleaners, we recommend heading into a GreenEarth® certified shop. GreenEarth® is a non-toxic and chemically inert solution, specifically developed to be kinder to clothes and to the environment.
