The Edgar 2-Ply Cashmere Long-Sleeve Polo
2-ply 12-gauge Long-sleeve polo
Spun by Todd & Duncan cashmere in Kinross · Knitted in Hawick
A polo that keeps its collar.
The Edgar is a three-button cashmere polo: casual enough on its own, sharp enough under a sport coat, and an easy alternative to a starched shirt. It is knitted in Hawick, Scotland from 100% Todd & Duncan Grade A cashmere, spun in Kinross.
The collar is worked in a Milano stitch, a denser construction that takes more time and more yarn, so it holds its shape even under a jacket.

Why the Milano Stitch Matters
Most knitted collars curl or flatten after a few wears. A Milano stitch builds a firmer, double-faced fabric that keeps its line, which is why the Edgar's collar still looks crisp at the end of the day.
Around it, two strands of Todd & Duncan Grade A cashmere give a fine, smooth knit. 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
Fine Todd & Duncan cashmere, 15.5-micron fibre at 35mm staple, the Grade-A spec.
The raw fibre starts on the high plateaus of Mongolia, then travels to Scotland where it's spun into yarn in Kinross with Loch Leven water.
Fine enough to sit against the collarbone all day without irritation.
OVER 200 YEARS OF HISTORY
Built by experience for all life’s experiences
Knitted at 12-gauge in the Hawick mills.
The Milano-stitch collar holds its structure where a plain rib collar wouldn't.
Three-button placket.
Finished with a careful, restrained wash that opens the fibre for softness without stripping it, so the polo softens naturally over years of wear instead of being over-processed to feel soft on day one.
Top-shelf comfort
From fiber to finish, made in Scotland.
