The autumn of the Shawl Neck Collar





The shawl neck collar is literally everywhere you look this autumn. On cardigans and sweaters, on jackets and thick coats. Here is a quick overview of some of the nicer shawl necks around at stores and online right now. First up, Albam makes a damn fine thick woollen shawl neck cardigan, the Irwin. Albam only creates limited runs of its garments, and I hear that many of the sizes in certain colours have already sold out, such is the popularity of this piece of knitwear. Next, Levis Vintage have a great looking shawl neck jacket in blue cotton, simply styled with anchor buttons. Woolrich Woolen Mills also has a version of this jacket in navy, their Maine Guide jacket, in slightly thicker wool and with more detailing. Lastly pictured here is the quilted Signalman's jacket from Oliver Spencer, in 100% polyester with leather buttons.
