The Arlo 2-ply Cashmere Hoodie
2-ply 12-gauge Hoodie
Spun by Todd & Duncan cashmere in Kinross · Knitted in Hawick
The hoodie, made properly.
Few garments have travelled as far as the hooded sweatshirt, from warehouse floors to boxing gyms to boardrooms. The Arlo keeps its easy shape and swaps the fleece for 100% Todd & Duncan Grade A cashmere, spun in Kinross and knitted in Hawick, Scotland.
A two-way zip, patch pockets and a fine 12-gauge knit keep the silhouette clean. Warm and breathable, it earns its place most of the year.

Why 2-Ply Matters
Two strands of cashmere are plied together before knitting. Knitted at 12 gauge, that gives a fine, smooth fabric with real warmth for its weight: light enough to wear indoors, warm enough for a cool evening.
At about 15.5 microns, Todd & Duncan's Grade A fiber is exceptionally soft, and a long staple means a stronger yarn that resists pilling. Read more about what Grade A cashmere means, and how ply and gauge shape a finished sweater.

A LUXURY FABRIC THAT LIVES UP TO THE HYPE
Todd & Duncan Scottish Cashmere Yarn
Two-ply Todd & Duncan cashmere, 15.5 microns at 35mm staple, spun in Kinross with Loch Leven water.
Two-ply means two strands of yarn twisted together, the lightest weight in the range and the reason it works as an all-season layer, warm enough for winter, breathable enough not to overheat by spring.
The Grade-A spec on the piece most people actually reach for daily.
OVER 200 YEARS OF HISTORY
Built by experience for all life’s experiences
Knitted in Hawick using full-fashioned construction, where each panel is shaped directly on the machine rather than cut from a larger piece of fabric and sewn together.
That method, refined over two centuries of Scottish knitwear, leaves no raw edges to fray and gives the hoodie a cleaner, longer-lasting shape than a cut-and-sew equivalent.
The YKK Excella zipper runs smoothly beside the cashmere without snagging.
Patch pockets built to be used, not just decorative.
Casual Elegance
From fiber to finish, made in Scotland.
