What we carry
The layer that makes a long winter easier to dress for
Winters in Lake County are long, and a good knit does more work than almost anything else in the closet. We carry V-neck sweaters and quarter-zip knits in a range of colors at our Libertyville studio, so you can compare shades in person and try your size.
A knit is also the easiest way to wear a jacket through the cold months without looking bundled. See our blazers in Libertyville and custom pants in Libertyville for what to wear it with.

Why we carry it
Warmth that still looks put together
A heavy sweater under a jacket is the quickest way to ruin the line of the jacket. That is why we choose knits that sit close and flat, with a ribbed collar that holds its shape when the zip is down or the V is open.
If you are already wearing our tailoring, a knit lets you keep the same silhouette in colder weather. Our guide to styling a custom blazer shows how.

Questions from Libertyville clients
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 in Libertyville and blazers in Libertyville.
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.
Which knit is best for a cold-weather commute?
A quarter-zip is the practical choice because you can open or close the neck as you move between the car, the street, and a warm office. A V-neck over a collared shirt is better when you want to look more formal. We can help you choose in the studio.
Can I wear a knit under a blazer?
Yes. A V-neck over an open-collar or collared shirt is the easiest combination, and a fine quarter-zip works under a casual jacket. Pick a slim knit so the jacket sits flat.
Do you serve clients outside Libertyville?
Yes. We also carry knitwear at our studios in Rosemont, IL and Milwaukee, WI. See all studios on our knitwear page.
