A top does not need to be complicated to be useful. The Lakes proves it — merino wool, merino wool in dark green, and a cut that stays out of the way.
How to wear it
Pair it simply. A knit polo and suede shoes is enough. Avoid a second pattern — the Lakes looks best when everything else is calm.
Fabric
The fabric is merino wool with a slight texture. Under daylight it reads merino wool in dark green; indoors it goes a shade deeper, which is typical of good dyeing.
Care
Wash with similar tones for the first few cycles. merino wool can release a little dye; after that it settles.
Fit
The cut is regular. Room through the thigh, a straight fall, relaxed without looking oversized. Between sizes, take the smaller one.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
Simple, well made, easy to live with. That is the whole argument.
