Cashmere Grandad Shirt – Melange Light Grey

A grey cashmere grandad shirt sits somewhere between a knit and a shirt, and this light grey melange makes it an easy everyday piece. The melange yarn gives the grey a soft, mottled depth, and the cables on the front catch the light, so the colour shifts slightly from fold to fold.

It is knitted in Kathmandu from 100% cashmere, in a fine 28-count, 2-ply yarn that is warm without weight. The front is cabled and the back is plain, with a round neck and eight mother-of-pearl buttons. Small Tibetan-style details are knitted into the cuffs, and the length is a couple of centimetres more than usual. Wear it with the top buttons open over a vest, or done up and tucked into high-waisted trousers.

Sharon praised the “Excellent shade of grey, warmth and softness”; she found the 34-inch figure-hugging, with snug sleeves, so she swapped to the 36-inch, which “fits so well”. Mo, who now owns two, calls them “Real staples so comfortable and useful”. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear a layer underneath, check the size guide carefully and consider the next size up.
