What the Astons gets right about merino wool

Astons · The Merino V-neck

Nov 1, 2026·

The Astons is the kind of piece that disappears once you put it on, in the best sense. merino wool, blue green, nothing to adjust.

Fit

It sits at the natural waist and falls straight. No taper, no break at the ankle, which makes it easy to pair with almost any shoe.

Fabric

merino wool was the right call here: matte surface, calm drape, and enough body that it does not cling after a few hours of wear.

Care

Store folded in a dry place. Hanging stretches the waistband over months, especially on merino wool.

How to wear it

Summer: linen shirt, loafers, no socks. Winter: merino rollneck, boots, heavy coat. The Astons handles both.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

The Astons is not a statement piece. It is the top you reach for without thinking, which is usually the highest compliment.
