The Lakes is the kind of piece that disappears once you put it on, in the best sense. wool, dark 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.
How to wear it
Summer: linen shirt, loafers, no socks. Winter: merino rollneck, boots, heavy coat. The Lakes handles both.
Fabric
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 wool.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
The Lakes is not a statement piece. It is the top you reach for without thinking, which is usually the highest compliment.
