Story & heritage
DAKS and John Smedley are both British heritage names, so the collaboration reads as a natural meeting of tailoring pattern and knitwear craft. The cardigan turns House Check into an all-over textured knit rather than a surface print.
The official listing calls it a contemporary take on the classic round-neck cardigan and identifies John Smedley’s Sea Island Cotton as the yarn.
Materials & craft
DAKS lists a fine 30-gauge knit, full button fastening, round neck, textured construction, 100% Sea Island Cotton and Made in England manufacture.
How to choose & style
It works best as a refined layer: buttoned over a vest, open over a shirt, or worn under a coat when you want pattern without bulk. The lighter colours make the texture more visible; navy is the easiest daily option.
