MEN’S KNITWEAR
Our men’s knitwear collection is designed to be understated and classic, offering everyday silhouettes such as cardigans, crew necks and polos, and accessories such as scarves, bandanas and beanies.
We also lean into the traditional, with our Fife Gansey Knit being a custom pattern, made for us based on a vintage fisherman’s sweater, alongside our true-to-style Aran Cable Knit and custom Fairisle Pattern Vest.
All of these are perfect for layering up during the colder months of the year, however in Scotland, evening layering is important throughout the year.
OUR KNITWEAR FABRICS
Most of our sweaters, beanies and scarves are made from 100% Lambswool, which is often brushed to provide slightly more volume and texture, and a softer feel on the body. Other fabrics include Merino and ultra-fine wool.
A specialist knit this season, the Glencorse, is made from a wool blend outer, which is backed with a soft cotton lining for superior comfort.
WHERE OUR KNITWEAR IS MADE
We’re immensely proud of our focus on supporting Scotland’s manufacturing heritage, with well over 90% of our knitwear collection being made in Scotland.
Our sweaters are made in Dumfries and Galloway, our gloves, beanies and scarves are made in Ayrshire and the Boarders, and our socks are made in Moray, on the north coast.
We also make very select styles in China, using a specialist knitwear manufacturer for more intricate designs. For SS25, this style is the previously mentioned Glencorse Cardigan, fusing together wool and cotton.
HOW DOES KESTIN KNITWEAR FIT?
All of our knitted accessories are one-size-fits-all, and our sweaters, such as our best-selling Shetland Crew and Lewis Polo, generally fit regular, providing room to layer over a tee or a lightweight shirt, or you can easily size up for a relaxed fit.
The Fife Gansey is designed to be more relaxed, and the Glencorse fits slightly oversized.
You can find the size guide for each product on their respective pages.
