Cropped Striped Polo Sweater with Wide Sleeves - OEM

The Dussyr Knit from Bellerose, a cropped navy and white striped polo sweater with long wide sleeves, a polo collar, a ribbed hem and a slouchy fit in a raccoon and wool blend, listed at 185 GBP with all five sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the fit word, because this batch gives the run two new ones and they come out in the wrong order. It is worth then reading it, which is perfectly slouchy fit. It is worth then doubling the chest, giving 36.22 to 45.67 inches around, and setting that against bodies of 31 to 39 inches. It is worth then reading the ease off, which is 5.22, 5.58, 5.94, 6.31 and 6.67. It is worth then stating where that puts slouchy, which is below the regular fit this run measured on the other knit in this batch at 8.4 to 9.5, and below relaxed at about 12.6, and above fitted at nought point five to nought point eight. It is worth then saying what that means, which is that slouchy, a word that means falling off the body, measures looser than fitted and tighter than regular. It is worth then turning to the second word the garment claims, which is wide sleeves. It is worth then reading the only sleeve number, which is a length, 60 centimetres, and stating what it does, which is that it is the same on all five sizes. It is worth then stating what is missing, which is any sleeve width, any bicep and any cuff opening. It is worth then saying what that makes this, which is a garment that names its sleeve for its width and measures its sleeve for its length, and does not give the width at all. It is worth then turning to the fibre, because there is a naming problem of the same shape. It is worth then reading the description, which says crafted from a soft wool blend, and the panel, which gives 40% raccoon hair, 30% polyamide and 30% wool. It is worth then stating what that means, which is that the largest share is raccoon at 40 and the wool that the garment is named for is 30. It is worth then saying what that repeats, which is the pattern this run met on its first garment, on its last, and now on the second of the new season: a garment named for a fibre that is not the largest share.

Size Chart as Published by the Reference

The pit to pit figures are flat half measures taken with the knit laid down, doubling to 92, 98, 104, 110 and 116 cm around, or 36.22 to 45.67 in. Against bodies of roughly 31 to 39 in, the ease at the chest runs 5.22, 5.58, 5.94, 6.31 and 6.67 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 0.37 on each 3 cm step, matching the chart on all four. That places the ease below regular at 8.4 to 9.5 and below relaxed at about 12.6, which is to say that a garment described as slouchy measures tighter than one described as regular. The sleeve is 60 cm on all five sizes, so the sleeve does not grow with the garment at all, and no sleeve width, bicep or cuff opening is published, so the word wide is never given a number. The length steps 1, 2, 2 and 1, which is uneven: the largest size takes the smallest step, so the XL at 50 is only one centimetre longer than the L at 49, while the S and M are two apart. No waist, no hip and no shoulder width are published, and there is no size conversion, no model, no micron and no fabric weight, so the word cropped cannot be placed on a body. Our proposal below grades the sleeve across the range, publishes the sleeve width, bicep and cuff opening, grades the length evenly, and publishes a model reference and the fabric weight.

Our Proposed Body Chart

Occasions and Styling

Suits everyday autumn and winter wear and relaxed layering. A cropped polo in a soft blend with wide sleeves works over high-waisted trousers and skirts, and the cropped length sits at the waist rather than the hip.

Production and Quality Control

The reference publishes three measurements for all five sizes, grades its chest evenly at 3 cm across five sizes, states three fibres with every share given, names its silhouette, weight, collar, hem and sleeves, states a washing method, and names its country of manufacture, and it carries five photographs and five bullets. Its sleeve is frozen across every size. It grades its length unevenly at 1, 2, 2 and 1, so the largest size takes the smallest step. It gives no micron for either of two animal fibres, no traceability, origin or harvesting statement for raccoon hair at 40 per cent, no yarn count or ply, no knit gauge and no fabric weight although it calls the knit mid-weight, no sleeve width, bicep or cuff opening although it calls the sleeves wide, no measurement point for the sleeve, no model although it calls the body cropped, no size conversion, no stripe width or repeat, no collar depth, spread or placket length, no rib depth or trim width, no shoulder width, no waist or hip, no drying instruction, no iron instruction, no shrinkage figure and no certification. Three things follow: a fit word that measures tighter than the plainer word on the garment next to it; a sleeve named for its width and measured for its length; and a fibre named in the prose that is not the largest share in the panel.

Five point two two, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what the run measured on the garment beside it before saying what it is. It is worth then reading the fit word, which is perfectly slouchy fit. It is worth then recalling the other knit in this batch, which says regular fit and measures 8.4 to 9.5 inches of ease. It is worth then doubling this chest, giving 36.22 to 45.67 inches around, and setting that against bodies of 31 to 39 inches. It is worth then reading the ease off, which is 5.22, 5.58, 5.94, 6.31 and 6.67. It is worth then stating where that puts slouchy, which is below regular, and below relaxed at about 12.6, and above fitted at nought point five to nought point eight. It is worth then saying what that means, and it is the sharpest word-versus-number result of this batch, which is that slouchy, a word meaning falling off the body, measures looser than fitted and tighter than regular. It is worth then turning to the second word, which is wide sleeves. It is worth then reading the only sleeve number given, which is 60 centimetres. It is worth then stating what kind of number that is, which is a length, and what it does across the sizes, which is nothing at all, being 60 on all five. It is worth then stating what is not given, which is any sleeve width, any bicep and any cuff opening. It is worth then saying what that makes this, which is a garment that names its sleeve for its width and measures its sleeve for its length, and withholds the width entirely. It is worth then noting what that repeats, which is the shape this run has met throughout: the garment names the thing that makes it work, and does not measure that thing. It is worth then turning to the fibre last, and reading the description, which says soft wool blend, and the panel, which gives 40 per cent raccoon, 30 polyamide and 30 wool. It is worth then stating what that means, which is that the wool the garment is named for is 30 per cent and the largest share is raccoon at 40.

One, two, two, one, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying what it breaks before saying what it is. It is worth then reading the length, which is 44, 45, 47, 49 and 50 centimetres, and the steps, which are 1, 2, 2 and 1. It is worth then stating what is wrong with that, which is that it is uneven, and backwards: the step starts at 1, rises to 2, holds at 2, then falls back to 1. It is worth then saying what that does at the top, which is that the XL is 50 and the L is 49, one centimetre apart, while the S and M are two apart. It is worth then noting what the chest does on the same garment, which is 3, 3, 3 and 3, perfectly even across five sizes. It is worth then stating what that makes this, which is a house grading one column evenly and another unevenly on the same garment, and it is the first uneven length grade in this run. It is worth then turning to the weight word, because here the run gets a new kind of omission. It is worth then reading it, which is mid-weight knit. It is worth then stating what that is, which is a weight claim, and what it carries, which is no figure. It is worth then saying why that is new, which is that until now the run complained that weight was left out; here the house raises weight as a category and still gives no number, so mid-weight is a claim about a measurement the house has chosen to discuss without stating. It is worth then closing on the care label. It is worth then reading it, which says hand wash only, and the other knit from this house, which says hand wash or dry clean only. It is worth then stating what that gives the run, which is one house, one season, one garment type, two care lines, and they differ, and neither carries a temperature.

Optional upgrades include the micron for both animal fibres, full traceability for the raccoon with the origin and the harvesting statement, the yarn count and ply, the knit gauge and the fabric weight in grams per square metre so the word mid-weight carries a figure, grading the sleeve across the range, the sleeve width, bicep and cuff opening so the word wide can be specified, an even length grade across all five sizes, the front and back length given separately, a model reference so the word cropped can be placed, the stripe width and repeat, the collar depth, spread and placket length, the rib depth and trim width, the waist and the hip, the shoulder width, shrinkage figures for both length and width, pilling and abrasion ratings, wool rich, lambswool, merino and alpaca blend options, plain jersey options, longer body options, size set, colour development, private label 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.
