Cashmere Grandad Shirt – Oatmeal

An oatmeal cashmere jumper with the ease of a shirt: that is the idea behind this grandad style. In oatmeal the cabled front looks especially soft, because the pale, creamy base carries tiny darker flecks that give the texture definition without any harsh contrast.

Its yarn is 100% cashmere, spun 2-ply at 28 count, and the shirt is knitted in Kathmandu. There are eight mother-of-pearl buttons and a round neck; the front is worked in cables while the back stays plain, and each cuff has a small Tibetan-style detail. It comes out a couple of centimetres longer than you might expect. Wear it on its own with jeans, half-buttoned over a camisole, or tucked into a skirt.

Yvette already owned this style in grey and found “the oatmeal is so pretty”, as “soft and stroke-able as usual”. Opinions on weight vary: Emilie loved that it is “very thin but still warm and soft”, while Andreea found it less thin than other cashmere shirts. In short, it is a fine knit with enough body to wear alone. Please check the size guide; one buyer of the grey found her first size snug in the sleeves and went up one.
