Alma

“After an hour or so the upward flood of the tide held its breath for an elongated moment and then it changed direction and we were being pulled back the way we had come, down towards the meeting of river with sea…”

Threads-The delicate Life of John Craske. Julia Blackburn

The Alma Cardigan
Rooted in heritage and reimagined for today, Alma takes inspiration from the Nautical Stripes once worn by sailors and fishermen alike. Crafted in Italy by expert knitters using certified British wool, Alma and Middleton are the lightest pieces in the collection—an easy layer for shifting seasons. Her neat hem, tailored shoulder, and seamless stripes create a graceful silhouette, while oversized navy corozo buttons add character.

With stripes flowing uninterrupted across the front, shoulders, and side seams, Alma carries a quiet elegance and sense of movement. Versatile and refined, she can be styled casually over a tee or worn simply on her own.

Named after “Alma” West, a Sheringham fisherman from the early 20th century, this cardigan honours both tradition and craftsmanship, set to become a modern classic in its own right.
