The 100% Merino wool from the renowned Zegna Baruffa Mill in Italy is knitted in a 7 gauge; a slightly thicker knit for chillier days. Merino wool is soft and without the ‘scratchiness’ sometimes associated with other wools. Based on a traditional fisherman’s style, the collar has a wider rib with a buttoned shoulder seam, ribbed cuffs and base in a traditional navy.
