I imagined this sweater with little feather and fan details along the upper yoke and down the sleeves - like waves lapping against the rocks of a small coastal island. In particular, I thought of an island called Whitehead Island that’s surrounded by bleached granite shores, with a lighthouse and a lightkeeper’s home - just off the coast of Maine.

This top-down, seamless raglan pullover features classic details on a bed of beautiful, toothy, hand dyed wool. The result is an instant heirloom with a stylish fit that you’ll wear for decades to come.
