The Kensington Soft-Layer Knit — Allocation No. 105

The knit that does not announce the season it belongs to. It belongs to all of them.

The Kensington is engineered in a fine-gauge knit from a lightweight textile blend that provides thermal regulation without volumetric bulk. It sits cleanly under a jacket or stands alone with equal authority. The weight is precise — enough for a cool morning, light enough for a warm evening. It never becomes the wrong choice.

The Construction

Fine-gauge knit construction in a lightweight, breathable textile blend — engineered for thermal regulation without excess weight or volume. A crew neckline that sits clean against the collarbone. Ribbed cuffs and hem. A fit proportioned to layer cleanly under a jacket or wear as a standalone piece — both configurations are correct.

Archival Care

Hand wash cold or machine wash gentle in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry — never hang a fine-gauge knit while wet. Do not tumble dry. Steam lightly to restore the surface if needed. Store folded.

—

Sizing

The Kensington is cut for a clean, slightly relaxed fit. Take your standard size. For layering under a jacket, take the same size — the fine gauge accommodates without bulk.
