I’m about to use a very tired editorial phrase, but only because, in this case, it’s totally true: the basics from Northwestern Knitting Co. are anything but. The newly-launched label’s crews, hoodies, tees, and sweatpants are crafted in the USA out of Merino Dual Cloth, an exclusive, two-layer fabric that’s woven from a mix of merino wool, cotton / poly, and spandex yarns. The unique – and patented – combination makes the fabric extremely versatile, durable, easy to care for, and, pretty damn good looking too. And then when you add the pieces’ tasteful designs, subtle details, and tailored fits – well, like I said, basics that are anything but.
