Svenson’s handsomely contemporary riff on traditional cabled Aran motifs is revisited for a more petite silhouette. Call it a compelling exercise in the study of textures — irresistible honeycomb panels proudly flanked by horseshoe cables, fields of moss stitch, and half-twisted ribbing to treat the edges — scaled down to shorter, closer-fitting proportions aided by clever compound raglan and saddle shoulder shaping. Complete the picture with long-wearing, mid-weight Arbor for a timeless piece to see you through countless adventures.
