Quick! Someone tell Grandad he's a fashion icon again! That's right, knitwear is back with a vengeance, and our in-house design team here at Route One have been hard at work on a banging new collection that'll put your moth-bitten Christmas beater to shame.

The Route One Letters Knitted Sweater is carefully crafted with a heavyweight 12-gauge cotton yarn and cut to a modern, slouchy fit that places itchy knitwear firmly in the past. Plenty generous, wrap yourself up in this soft and cushy piece on a cold day, close your eyes and let it take you to another cosmos of comfort - feel the warm kiss of a fireplace, a toasty cup of cocoa, and the homely hug of your favourite sofa.

Not only will you feel like a hot dawg in the Letters Knit, you can guarantee you'll also be the coolest looking cat at the function. With its all-over jacquard patterning, this sweater has an aesthetic that is all about opposite forces - Over-the-top but understated, statement but staple, modern but classic. Yin-yang, baby.

Rounding out, the sweater is finished with solid coloured rib knit at the neckline, cuffs, and hem that pulls everything together, giving form to the loose cut and providing the perfect fit for daily wear. Pat on the back team! And to sum it up in three words? BANGIN', KNIT, INIT.
