Waltzing into winter
This hand-knit 6-ply Scottish cashmere Waltz Jacket is my longed-for winter companion. Cardis can be stodgy, but this one has details: the pockets wrap from the sides to the back, the moss-stitch collar and shoulder add interest without fussiness. It's available in intense colours: Beetroot, Kelp, Othello (the moodiest blue) and neutrals. The yarn's spun by Todd & Duncan and knit by Hillary Rohde's team of artisans.
£490 (about $900); 8% of the net profit benefits the National Museum of Scotland. Order by October 15 for Christmas delivery.

I also emailed Eric Bompard for a catalog, and didn't receive it. Does it take a long time? Thanks for sharing these sources, shopping is limited where I am
Though the price is hefty, this is hand knit, in very substantial weight, which kind of explains it.
Alas, it was 98F here yesterday (we're in the thick of Santa Ana's right now) so my sweater wearing days seem like a distant dream.
I really, really want it as I like to layer and a chemise underneath and a lovely scarf would do just fine and feel warm yet, uncluttered. Thanks for the great ideas.
