The Struan 2-Ply Cashmere-Cotton Crew Sweatshirt
The sweatshirt, reconsidered.
Struan takes its name from the Gaelic for a small stream, and it is made to move easily. It borrows from vintage athletic wear, with a V-stitch at the neck and raglan sleeves, and knits it in a Todd & Duncan cashmere and Egyptian cotton yarn, spun at Loch Leven in Kinross and knitted in Hawick, Scotland.
Light enough for summer evenings and substantial enough to wear year-round.

Why Cashmere-Cotton Matters
Egyptian cotton gives the yarn a cooler, drier feel than pure cashmere; the Grade A cashmere, about 15.5 microns, keeps it soft. Together they make a sweatshirt that breathes and softens with wear.

A LUXURY FABRIC THAT LIVES UP TO THE HYPE
Todd & Duncan Scottish Cashmere Yarn
A cashmere blend with Egyptian cotton, the finest cotton grown, from Todd & Duncan, spun in Kinross with Loch Leven water.
Two-ply means two strands of yarn twisted together, the lightest construction in the range, keeping the sweatshirt easy rather than heavy.
Egyptian cotton is worked in for structure and breathability, holding the ribbed cuffs and hem crisp through repeated wear and letting the piece move air on warmer days, while the cashmere carries a softness cotton alone can't provide.
Cashmere brings the softness.
Cotton brings the structure and breathability that survive repeated wear.
OVER 200 YEARS OF HISTORY
Built by experience for all life’s experiences
Knitted in Hawick to a relaxed sweatshirt shape with the construction quality of a full cashmere garment.
Turn-back cuffs and a ribbed hem are knitted flat and set by hand, the same exacting process used across the range, so the shape holds through wear instead of stretching out.
The shoulder seam is set with a distinct construction rarely seen on cashmere sweatshirts, and the collar takes a sweatshirt-style treatment rather than a standard crew rib, giving it a shape closer to the sportswear it's modeled on.
Every seam is checked by hand before it leaves the mill, the same standard Scottish knitters have held to for generations, regardless of how casual the finished shape looks.
The most-worn shape in most closets, built from better fibre than usual.
The more you wear, the better it gets.
