All three styles feature fully fashioned shoulders, a mark of quality which produces a superior fit and rib cuff and hems which allow the garments to fit perfectly around the body and wrist whilst giving the garment an iconic knitted finish. Made from 70% cashmere and 30% silk, Judson, Gilon and Ciro are available in classic Black and Silver.
