A hood on cashmere is a contradiction, and the contradiction is the point. One belongs to sportswear and the other does not, and putting them together produces something that reads as neither - too soft to be athletic, too casual to be precious.
The hood is knitted in one with the front bands, so it falls back into a deep soft collar when it is down rather than sitting up stiffly behind the neck. There is no fastening at all - the front simply falls open - with a narrow cable running down each edge, wide ribbed cuffs, and shoulders dropped well past the joint.
It gets worn the way a dressing gown gets worn, except outdoors, and nobody has ever questioned it.

- Knitted-in hood - falls back into a deep soft collar rather than standing up behind the neck.
- Open front, no fastening - the panels simply fall apart instead of closing.
- Narrow cable edging - runs down each front band to give the opening a defined line.
- Wide ribbed cuffs - turn back easily over the hand or push up the forearm.
- Dropped shoulders - fall well past the joint so the whole piece hangs loose.
