The Merino Wool Archive Fair Isle Sweater is a knit from Brooks Brothers, $200 at retail. Archive-pattern Fair Isle in merino, down to $199.99 from $398.
Genuine winter warmth, not a shoulder-season compromise. It dresses up, and pairs badly with anything that reads like gym kit.
Tagged Americana and craft, and down for everyday, weekends and cold outdoors — those are the occasions the builder will actually put it in front of you for.
The rest of the fit
One garment per remaining slot, chosen the way the builder chooses: occasion overlap, formality that holds across the fit, warmth that agrees with itself, and the layering rules that stop a collar ending up under a hood. Head to toe with the Merino Wool Archive Fair Isle Sweater: $1,345 at retail.
