THE ITALIAN MENSWEAR GUIDE - Elite Traveler

Pringle of
Scotland
| Fall Focus | Creative Director Clare Waight Keller
is taking Pringle’s deep heritage of perfect Scottish
cashmere clothing (this is the company that coined
the term ‘knitwear’) in new directions by designing a
full wardrobe of equally luxurious pieces. Military details
sharpen outerwear this season, and purple dominates
the palette to give the collection a regal touch.
| Key Pieces | no Pringle wardrobe would be complete
without a hand-knit sweater, which can take
five days to knit. other standout pieces are a sheared
velvet double-breasted blazer, slim jackets with high
buttons, tuxedos with shawl collars, corduroy, and ensembles
that combine teal with gray and inky blue.
| Where to Buy | The men’s collection is now carried
in 11 specialty stores in the U.S. and abroad in
department stores such as Harrods (UK) and Tsum
(Moscow). Pringle also operates its own boutiques
in such cities as London, Tokyo and Taipei. Visit www.
