The Robert Old View
The Highclere 2-Ply Men’s Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater is a perennial favorite from our Scottish Cashmere Collection, offering timeless style and year-round versatility. Lightweight and luxuriously soft, it is thoughtfully designed to be a go-to garment for any season.
Meticulously crafted using the finest 28s Scottish cashmere yarn and knitted in a 2-ply configuration, this sweater showcases superior craftsmanship. Sourced from the delicate under-hair of Mongolian cashmere goats, the Highclere sweater exudes both quality and comfort. Its classic design features include a finely finished welted waistband and turnback cuffs, ensuring a refined fit and lasting durability.
Available in enduring classic colors such as navy, black, flannel, lapis blue, and charcoal, this sweater maintains its elegance season after season, while additional seasonal colors offer fresh, stylish options.
As the lighter of Robert Old’s two classic men’s cashmere crew necks, the Highclere is perfectly suited as a layering piece. Pair it with a winter jacket and cashmere scarf for colder days, or wear it solo as an extra layer for cool summer evenings. A wardrobe essential for those who appreciate understated luxury
Craft & Construction
Fit & Sizing
Our sweater sizes correspond to your actual chest measurement. The garments are designed with a comfortable Classic Fit, allowing approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of ease through the chest for comfort and movement.
How to Measure Your Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, just below the arms. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug, but not tight.
As a guide, if your chest measures 44 inches (112 cm), we would recommend a size 44. The finished garment will measure approximately 48 inches around the chest, providing the intended Classic Fit.
Prefer For a Tailored Fit?
If you prefer a neater, more tailored silhouette, you may wish to choose one size smaller than your usual chest size.
Top Tip: Measure a Sweater You Already Own
For the most reliable comparison:
- Lay a well-fitting sweater flat.
- Measure straight across the chest from armpit to armpit, without stretching the fabric.
- Double this measurement to find the garment’s full chest measurement.
If you send us this measurement, we’ll be happy to recommend the most suitable size.
