John Lewis Made in Italy Cashmere V-Neck Jumper

A cashmere piece should be something you treasure. And for this classic V-neck, we've partnered with artisans in a family-run factory in Northern Italy where they dye, spin and knit our cashmere to give you a true taste of luxury. Knitted in a mid-weight gauge with a ribbed knit neck, hem and cuffs, this jumper is an all-season all-star that's even machine washable. A luxurious layer to dress up or down.

Specialist cashmere spinners in Italy use their extensive expertise to twist a finer, softer, more rounded yarn, giving a deeper colour when dyed. We blend three to four different hues to make just one colour, ensuring each shade has a richness to it.

Our own-brand cashmere story starts on the other side of the world, in the region stretching from northern China into Mongolia, where goats survive the harsh winter by growing an extra-fine coat underneath their weather-resistant guard hair — this is where the cashmere comes from. The cold climate and hearty lifestyle of the animals produce the longest, finest, softest fibres: some of the best cashmere in the world.

Our own-brand men's cashmere is 100% Sustainable Fibre Alliance certified. Find out more.
