In search of the perfect winter sweater(44771886)

The sweater in this picture looks fairly unremarkable, right? Wrong. According to Benetton, the TV31100 (as it is known) is the design to fulfil all your sweater needs in winter, when getting dressed in the morning requires giving thought to the temperature outside.

Named after the postal code of Treviso, Italy, TV31100 is 90% Merino wool and 10% cashmere when Benetton was founded. At £ 69, it is not cheap, but it is likely to last. It has a version of the man and woman in six colors to choose from mustard yellow can not miss the black one like I wear above. It is even waste-free, with no seams on the machines of Benetton's Treviso plant, and one hour's knitting for each sweater. Even those who are less concerned about sustainable development will be glad to hear that you can also insist on washing at 30 degrees.Convenience scores on most people’s idea of the perfect sweater.

Benetton sweater - the kind of friendly knitting logo - to become the 80's young high-level youth essential goods. The brand is still centered on knitwear but competes for £ 24.90 from other brands, including Gap, John Smedley and Uniqlo, where another version of the perfect sweater competes.
