Handcrafted in Italy

In the valleys of the breathtaking Piedmont region lies what many consider to be Italy's textile mecca: Biella. In this small town sits a family run operation that has, for just short of three centuries, been producing the finest knitwear in Italy. There has been a long standing debate in the world of luxury about which country of the two titans of knitwear, Italy or Scotland, is truly the best. Truthfully, it depends on the product. Where the Scottish may triumph in heavy knits, the Italian masters trump them with blends and lightweight stitches. Whatever the case, with over 10 generations of the highest class of artisans at the helm, who boast an order book of clients that are some of the most sought after luxury houses in the world... you can't really go wrong.

##We create the softest cashmere products by acquiring the rare, finest grade (Grade A) fibres from the underbellies of Mongolian goats. Due to the dramatic fluctuation in temperature in their natural environment, Hircus goats have developed a beautiful, downy under-fleece. Cashmere acquired from Hircus goats is fine in texture, strong, light and soft. It provides excellent insulation and simply lasts longer without shedding or piling, as Hircus goats need to develop hair long enough to withstand the hardy outer Mongolian plains. Archibald London A $3,000 Men’s Scarf for $575? A New Kind of Bargain by S. Christian (03/05/2017), The Wall Street Journal.

Material

Nowadays, it’s not hard to get your hands on a cashmere jumper on the high street. But there’s a reason for that enticingly low price tag.

Low grade, mass produced cashmere makes for a disappointing product that sheds and piles easily. It’s got nothing on the real high-quality stuff, manufactured through traditional processes and sourced from communities that have passed down collection methods for generations.

>The Men’s Cashmere Zip Turtle-Neck

  • 100% Alashan cashmere, sourced from inner western Mongolia
  • Knitted in Biella, Italy
  • Ribbed cuffs
  • Ribbed button
  • 1/4 zip turtleneck feature
  • 2 ply
  • Dry clean or hand wash

The Dark Green colourway draws on deep, forest-rich tones that feel both seasonal and timeless — a welcome departure from the usual neutral rotation. Finished with a ribbed turtle-neck collar and half-zip closure for easy layering.

This version, made for Archibald by one of Biella, Italy’s great mills, is hand-knitted from 100% Mongolian cashmere using only the softest undercoat yarns, known for their warmth and enduring softness. The half-zip and high collar balance smart and casual, with ribbing at the cuffs, hem, and neckline for structure without restriction. Ships to the United States. Free returns.

All made-to-order (MTO) items, including those ordered through our "backed-by-you" service or crafted from special materials such as Vicuna, Shell Cordovan, pre-ordered leather bags, are final sales and cannot be returned, except in the rare instance of adefect.

Please note that any product displaying this policy is considered MTO, even if made with a standard leather from our collection, as it is not a part of our core pre-order collection and adheres to these same terms.

If you wish to return an item due to sizing issues or if it does not meet your expectations, we offer a service to assist in reselling the product to another customer, provided it remains in pristine, unworn condition.

For full details, please refer to our complete return policy in our Terms and Conditions, or contact our customer support team for assistance.
