A rare new unworn style made at #caerleemills #innerleithentherealhomeofballantyne was originally made under style name of Zetland (diamonds/rakers) likely to be same gents shape of the famous #ballantyne #lorne with backs, sleeves and trims made on 15gauge frame and #intarsia front on a 7n OO dubied intarsia hand machine, when buying a garment look at the tension/density and for the handcrafted finish, not all garments are #madeinscotland as some claim via the supposed heritage but likely to be sold and made in a European country or the Far East ! The knitters of #innerleithen are #mastersofthecraft of #intarsia and #fullyfashioned #handflat (at Innerleithen)

Catching up on my #rollneckoftheday game, here another #CaerleeMills #madeinscotland #cashmere in a color I had been looking for for years, royal blue, on top of my usual mess #berlutihistoryofafamilyofartists #anthonydelos #edwardgreen #grandemesure https://www.instagram.com/p/CNKiMQfr1DF/?igshid=l78b952avuwx

Rollneck of the day: it’s gotten cold so these are my uniform, each and every one made by Caerlee Mills from the 1950s up to 2012 when it went out of business. All Scottish cashmere is not equal and these were perhaps the best ever. Two-ply — what today would be called four-ply — cashmere in a light brown sugar — turbinado— color. #caerleemills @scottishclassicknitwear #madeinscotland #steez #elegant #menswear https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-ftI_rvm9/?igshid=1g0swdlt01lea

The incredible original #DieAnotherDay super thick pure cashmere turtleneck made in Scotland by #CaerleeMills, probably the best thing about that movie. Unimaginably warm and comfortable. #madeinscotland #cashmeremadeinscotland #ballantyne @scottishclassicknitwear #elegant #menswear #steez https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8zjMyst5h/?igshid=1rg4xk8sgiava

#todaystie: a cashmere Ballantyne knitted tie made in Scotland for the first day that feels like fall. I don’t care if it looks like Michael Foot’s old sock, it’s a piece of the old Scottish knitters that no longer exists (you don’t want to hear my rant about the company that bears its name now). Ballantyne used to sell silk ties made in Italy with the tag “Designed by Stefano Ricci for Ballantyne”. I daresay they were far more tasteful than Ricci’s own garish ties but not really my cup of tea. It’s rather amusing that this tie, whose design likely never saw Italian eyes, still has the Ricci design tag. #caerleemills #stefanoricci #cashmeremadeinscotland #steez #innerleithentherealhomeofballantyne https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3hEE4rKvY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inspired by @lorenzocifonelli and @alexander.kraft (my favorite German after @lexialexander1 , Werner Herzog and @laurentmueller ), I kopped a cashmere shawl-collared ski sweater by my favorite maker, #caerleemills @scottishclassicknitwear #madeinscotland #cashmeremadeinscotland #innerleithentherealhomeofballantyne #apresski #dandy #fancyman https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7cL4lJrkT/?utm_medium=tumblr
