What we carry
Knits chosen to go with everything else you wear
Knitwear is the piece most men buy last and wear most from November to March. We carry V-neck sweaters and quarter-zip knits in a range of colors, selected to layer under a jacket and to look right with tailored trousers or denim.
Because it is ready to wear, you can see the color in daylight, handle the knit, and try your size in person. If you are building the rest of the outfit, see our blazers and custom trousers, or read our guide to business casual beyond the traditional suit.

Why we carry it
A knit that fits the way our tailoring does
Most of our clients come to us for suits, blazers, and shirts made to their measurements. Knitwear is the layer that connects them, and a bulky or badly cut sweater can undo the work of a well-fitted jacket.
That is why we choose knits for how they layer: a clean neckline, a ribbed collar that holds its shape, and a weight that sits flat under a blazer. Browse our handcrafted shirts to see what goes underneath.
What to choose from
- ✓ V-neck sweaters for wearing over a collared shirt
- ✓ Quarter-zip knits for a relaxed, open-collar look
- ✓ Neutral shades such as taupe, navy, and charcoal

What people ask before booking
Is the knitwear made to measure?
No. Our knitwear is ready to wear, so you choose from what is in the studio and try your size. For pieces made to your measurements, see our custom suits, blazers, and trousers.
What styles and colors do you carry?
V-neck sweaters and quarter-zip knits, in colors that currently include pale yellow, burgundy, taupe, navy, and charcoal. Stock changes, so mention what you are looking for when you book.
How should a sweater fit?
The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder, the hem should land around your belt line, and the sleeves should reach your wrist. It should feel close to the body without pulling across the chest.
Can I wear a knit under a blazer?
Yes. A V-neck over an open-collar or collared shirt is the easiest combination. Quarter-zips work best under a more casual jacket. Our guide to styling a custom blazer covers the pairings.
How do I look after knitwear?
Follow the care label. As a general rule, fold knits rather than hang them so the shoulders do not stretch, and wash on a gentle or hand cycle only when the label allows it.
Do I need an appointment?
We recommend booking a consultation so someone can give you their full attention and have your size ready. You can book online or call (224) 628-2980.
