| Fall Focus | This classic Scottish cashmere brand<br />
(now under Italian ownership) launched in 1921 and<br />
gained fame in the 1930s for mastering the hand-knit<br />
intarsia pattern, or argyle. These beautiful knits continue<br />
to be produced in Scotland, and the collection<br />
is growing to include Italian-made garments too like<br />
outerwear, shoes, trousers, blankets and bags. This<br />
season, designers look to the mountains for inspiration<br />
in a deep and rich color palette dominated by<br />
purples. Knit details throughout are subtle reminders<br />
of the brand’s luxury heritage.<br />
| Key Pieces | Items that every well-dressed man<br />
will want for his weekends include velvet jeans, knit<br />
peacoats, knit bomber jackets and a regal purple<br />
herringbone topcoat. Creative uses if its exceptional<br />
knitwear include knit ties, a knit tuxedo and knit unconstructed<br />
jackets. Soft buffalo hide is used for bags<br />
and other accessories. And the finest, lightest cashmere<br />
is woven into colorful scarves that will sell for<br />
about $900.<br />
