Grenat Alpaca Blend Oversized Knit - OEM

The Vitow Knit in grenat chine from American Vintage, a core part of the collection and a versatile piece, oversized with dropped shoulders and super soft, understated and luxurious, listed at 150 GBP with two of three sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the other colourway, because this run published the citronnier in the same batch and the two are the same garment. It is worth then reading this chart, which is 58, 62 and 66 at the chest, 50, 52 and 54 at the sleeve, and 54, 56 and 58 at the length. It is worth then reading the citronnier's, which is the same on all nine figures. It is worth then noting what else is shared, which is the fibre to the percentage, the care label, the country of manufacture, and the style code, which is VITO18PH26 on both. It is worth then saying what that is, which is the fifth colourway pair in this run, the fourth to share its chart, and the first in which the two pages carry literally the same style code. It is worth then setting that against what this run found last batch on the same house's cardigan pair, which carried different codes, VITO19EH26CCI and VITO19EE26, and different charts on eight of nine figures. It is worth then stating what the two pairs together establish, which is that this house's code predicts the chart: a shared code means a shared chart, and a different code means a different chart. It is worth then turning to the stock, because it differs while the chart does not. It is worth then noting that this colourway is missing the large and the citronnier is missing the small. It is worth then saying what follows, which is that a buyer wanting a small must take this colour and a buyer wanting a large must take the other, and only the medium is available in both. It is worth then turning to the ease, because it is what makes the fit words hold. It is worth then doubling the chest, giving 45.67 to 51.97 inches around, and setting that against bodies of 33 to 37 inches. It is worth then reading the ease off, which is 12.67, 13.82 and 14.97. It is worth then stating what the relaxed band is, which is about 12.6, and what oversized and loose require, which is at or above it, and stating the result, which is that every size clears it.

Specifications

Size Chart as Published by the Reference

Every figure on this page is shared with the citronnier colourway of the same style, which this run published in the same batch: the chest, the sleeve and the length are identical across all three sizes, and so are the fibre, the care label, the country of manufacture and the style code, which is VITO18PH26 on both. The pit to pit figures are flat half measures, doubling to 116, 124 and 132 cm around, or 45.67 to 51.97 in. Against bodies of roughly 33 to 37 in, the ease at the chest runs 12.67, 13.82 and 14.97 in, and this run derives that a grade of g centimetres flat moves the ease by 0.79g minus 2 inches per size, which gives plus 1.16 on each 4 cm step, matching the chart. Every size clears a relaxed band of about 12.6, which is what an oversized and a loose claim require. The chest grades by 4 cm while the sleeve and the length each grade by 2, so the proportion widens with size. The panel states 3% elastane, so every figure here measures the garment in one state only. No waist, no hip, no shoulder width, no drop distance, no bicep and no cuff opening are published, and no model is published, so the 54 to 58 cm length cannot be placed on a body. Our proposal below publishes the shoulder width and the drop distance, the neck width, the cuff depth and the relaxed and stretched measurements.

Our Proposed Body Chart

Occasions and Styling

Suits everyday layering all year round. A dark red oversized alpaca blend knit with dropped shoulders reads well over a shirt or on its own, and the boat neck makes it a piece that sits away from the neck.

Production and Quality Control

The reference publishes three measurements for all three sizes, grades its chest by 4 cm and its sleeve and length by 2, states four fibres with every share given, names its neck, shoulder, cuff and trim construction, gives a drying and an iron instruction, and names its country of manufacture, and it carries eight bullets. It shares every figure, and its fibre, care label, country and style code, with the citronnier colourway published in the same batch. It gives no alpaca micron or fleece type, no wool micron, no ply, gauge or weight, no relaxed or stretched measurement despite publishing a stretch share, no shoulder width or drop distance although dropped shoulders are named twice, no neck width or depth although a boat neck is defined by its width, no cuff depth, width or opening although a turn-up cuff has an exact unit, no rib depth or width, no bicep, no waist or hip, no temperature of any kind, no shrinkage figure, no model, no size conversion and no certification, and it carries five tabs of which one is blank. Three things follow: the fifth colourway pair in this run and the first to share a style code, a stock list that differs while the chart does not, and a house whose code now predicts its chart.

VITO eighteen P H twenty six, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying why a style code matters before saying what this one does. It is worth then noting that this page and the citronnier page carry exactly the same code, and that they share all nine measurements, the fibre, the care label and the country. It is worth then recalling what this run found last batch on the same house's cardigan pair, which carried two different codes, VITO19EH26CCI and VITO19EE26, and two different charts differing on eight of nine figures, with one colourway carrying a carry over tag. It is worth then stating what the two pairs together establish, which is that this house's code predicts its chart: a shared code means a shared chart, and a different code means a different chart. It is worth then saying how strong that makes the finding, which is that the run did not infer it from two houses behaving differently, it got both halves from one house in consecutive batches. It is worth then noting the season digits, which are 18 here and 19 on the cardigans, so this knit is the older of the two styles. It is worth then turning to the stock, because it is the part that always differs. It is worth then noting that this colourway is missing the large and the citronnier is missing the small, and stating what follows, which is that a buyer wanting a small must take this colour, a buyer wanting a large must take the other, and only the medium is available in both. It is worth then saying what this run has now seen on every colourway pair it has held, which is that the chart belongs to the style and the stock belongs to the colourway, and the colour and the size can never be chosen independently.

Two, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying what the two are before saying what they show. It is worth then noting that this colourway carries two photographs and the citronnier carries six, and that the cardigan pair from this house did the same thing in the opposite direction, six for the white and two for the cafe. It is worth then stating what that rules out, which is that neither the colour nor the style decides it, since the house has now shot six and two on two different pairs with the larger number falling on a different colour each time. It is worth then saying what is left, which is that the house simply shoots more of one colourway than the other, twice over. It is worth then turning to the care label, because this run can now close the question it has been asking since the first batch. It is worth then reading this one, which says hand wash, iron on low setting, do not tumble dry, and stating what is absent, which is any temperature at all. It is worth then recalling the same house's cardigan pair, which gave 40 degrees on one page and warm on the other. It is worth then stating what one house has now supplied across four pages, which is a temperature as a number, a temperature as a word, and no temperature at all. It is worth then adding the drying instruction, which appears on three of the four, and the iron instruction, which appears on two of the four, and saying what this run has been asking for throughout, which is all three together, and what it has got, which is all three across four pages and never all three on one. It is worth then closing on the two omissions that follow the run's longest pattern. It is worth then noting that dropped shoulders are named in the description and again in the bullets, and that no shoulder width and no drop distance are given, and saying what a dropped shoulder is, which is a measurement: the distance a seam sits below the shoulder point. It is worth then noting that a boat neck is named, and that no width is given, and saying what a boat neck is defined by, which is its width. It is worth then stating what the two have in common, which is that each is the thing the garment is named for, and each is the thing left unmeasured.

Optional upgrades include a temperature as a number on every colourway, the alpaca micron and fleece type and the wool micron, the ply, gauge and weight in grams per square metre behind the word super soft, the relaxed and stretched measurements now that the stretch share is known, the shoulder width and the drop distance, the neck width and depth, the cuff depth, width and opening, the rib depth and width, the bicep, the waist and the hip, a model reference so the 54 to 58 cm length can be placed on a body, a size conversion, shrinkage figures, holding the full size range in stock on both colourways, removing the blank tab, more photographs to match the other colourway, higher alpaca shares, wool and alpaca with no polyamide, merino and alpaca options, crew and V necks, set-in shoulders, plain and ribbed cuffs, size set, colour development, private label, hangtag and care labelling.

Pre-production sample approval, in-line inspection during cutting and sewing, and a final AQL inspection before packing, with measurement reports and photos shared before shipment.
