Keep it long, treasure it long.

Beautiful even when layered.

JOHN SMEDLEY knitwear is a masterpiece that highlights excellent knitting techniques and material selection. The fine gauge knitwear is the charm of this brand.

The unique luster and beautiful silhouette are created by carefully weaving extremely thin threads. The material is made of carefully selected merino wool, which is thin but smooth to the touch and comfortable warmth. In particular, this merino wool crew neck cardigan A4670 is a piece that gently wraps around the body while achieving sophisticated styling. The delicate texture created by the craftsmanship makes this cardigan feel high quality at a glance.

The smooth surface and subtle shine are the crystallization of the traditional techniques inherited by JOHN SMEDLEY. This is a piece that allows you to fully experience its charm.

Carefully Selected Materials

At JOHN SMEDLEY, we contract directly with carefully selected farms to exclusively source high-quality New Zealand merino wool and use it as material for our products. At the farms, we give names to each sheep and carefully manage and raise them. Merino wool with long hairs has a crimp that gives it elasticity and stretch, and the snow-white yarn creates products with a beautiful, elegant luster and a supple feel. At JOHN SMEDLEY, we twist and dye only the long-haired raw wool from this top-quality merino wool and turn it into products. All of our products are made in our own factory, so we can maintain high quality and a luxurious feel that lasts for a long time.

The feel of the merino wool crew neck cardigan can be described as "smooth" and silky. Even though it is wool, there is no need to worry about it feeling itchy, and the parts such as the cuffs, hem, and the seams between the body and cuffs are carefully knitted so that it fits your body perfectly when you put your arms through the sleeves. It does not show too much of your body line, which is common with knits, so you can wear it alone with confidence. Because of its basic design, it is an item that you can use for many years.

Available in three colors: SNOW WHITE, which goes with anything, LAPIS BLUE, which gives a sophisticated impression, and WINTER VIOLET, which will add an accent to your autumn and winter outfits. Choose the one that matches your favorite coordination.

Inherited tradition and technology

JOHN SMEDLEY was founded in 1784 in Derbyshire, England by Peter Nightingale and John Smedley. When the company was first established, it started with spinning cotton and making fabric, and by the end of the 18th century, it had begun to manufacture woolen fabrics and socks. In 1819, John Smedley's son, John II, took over from his predecessor at the young age of 24 and set a policy of carrying out all processes from spinning to knitting and sewing in-house. This policy was the driving force behind JOHN SMEDLEY's rise from a small spinning factory to a known knitwear manufacturer. In addition, the fourth generation introduced the most advanced spinning and knitting machines of the time and began manufacturing fine gauge knitwear.
