Story & heritage
The Elder Statesman began after Greg Chait became absorbed by a cashmere blanket, made samples for himself, and saw Maxfield sell them in Los Angeles. The Simple Crew carries that origin into a wearable everyday form: a plain crewneck where the emphasis is on the fiber, the hand, and the relaxed silhouette.
Official product copy repeatedly presents the Simple Crew as a classic and beloved house shape. Its role is less seasonal novelty than baseline: the sweater against which the brand’s brighter, striped, and personalized cashmere pieces can be read.
Materials & craft
Official product copy describes it as: Our classic 100% cashmere crewneck sweater in a heavyweight knit. Hand-loomed in Los Angeles, the Simple Crew is made of the softest Italian cashmere.
How to choose & style
Wear it as the low-noise center of the wardrobe: over a tee, under a soft jacket, or with easy trousers when the texture should do the work. The stronger colors read best when the rest of the outfit stays deliberately simple.
