The Cashmere Crew Pullover in Flannel from Hartford, a crew neck knit in a wool and cashmere blend with raglan sleeves and ribbed cuffs and hem, listed at 225 GBP with every size in stock. It is worth beginning with the sleeve row, because it is the only flat row this run has been given. It is worth then reading it, which is twenty-seven point five inches on every one of the five sizes, and it is worth then stating what the chest does over the same sizes, which is grow by an inch at every step, and what the length does, which is grow by half an inch at every step. It is worth then stating what that makes the sleeve, which is the one measurement on this garment that does not belong to the size. It is worth then turning to the page for an explanation, and it is worth then stating what is there, which is one word: raglan. It is worth then stating what a raglan sleeve is, which is a sleeve with no shoulder seam, and it is worth then stating what that does to the run, which is remove the very point it has been asking for on every garment for a hundred and twelve of them. It is worth then turning to the ease, and it is worth then stating what it is here, which is exactly five inches, and what it is on the jacket from this same house in this same batch, which is exactly three. The reference is the Cashmere Crew Pullover. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable knitwear on OEM and ODM terms, from fabric and trim development to retail or FBA ready packing. We publish this as a development reference and build your own version of it, and we do not supply the branded original or reproduce anyone else's label.
Key Features
- A sleeve row that is one figure on all five sizes, the only flat row in this run, and the page supplies the reason in one word: raglan. See the note below
- An ease of exactly five inches, against exactly three on the jacket from this same house in this same batch, so the grading rule is the house and the ease is the garment. See the note below
- A colour field that says Flannel, which is a cloth and not a colour, and the other colourway is called Nut. See the note below
- Do not dry clean here and dry clean on the jacket from this same house, so the same house gives both answers on the same instruction. See the note below
- Seventy per cent wool and thirty per cent cashmere, and cashmere is wool, so the garment is one hundred per cent wool. See the note below
- Cashmere blend in the bullet and thirty per cent in the composition, so the run now has two measurements of the word blend and they are thirty-five points apart. See the note below
- Fibre given as codes, WO and WS, and the codes are less ambiguous than the words beside them. See the note below
- One photograph, on the second most expensive garment in this batch, against five on the least expensive. See the note below
Customisable Options
- Cloth: a 70% wool and 30% cashmere knit to the reference with the yarn count, the micron and the gauge stated, or a 100% cashmere with the same figures, or a 90 and 10 blend with the same, or a merino with the micron stated, each quoted separately. See the note below

- Sleeve: a raglan sleeve to the reference with the sleeve measured from a stated point and that point named, or a set-in sleeve with the sleeve measured from the shoulder, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Colour: a colour reference stated as a code and as a plain colour word, or the colourway named for what it looks like rather than for a cloth, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Fit: a regular fit to the reference with the chest, waist and hem all published and the ease given for every size and the body table it was computed against named, or a relaxed fit with the same figures, or a slim fit with the same figures, each quoted separately
- Care: one cleaning method stated, or where two are given, the order of preference stated, with the reason the garment cannot be treated otherwise. See the note below

Size Chart as Published by the Reference
| Size | Pit to Pit (in) | Sleeve (in) | Total Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 21 in | 27.5 in | 27.5 in |
| M | 22 in | 27.5 in | 28 in |
| L | 23 in | 27.5 in | 28.5 in |

The pit to pit figures are flat half measures, doubling to 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50 in around. Against men's bodies of roughly 37 to 45 in at the chest, the ease is exactly 5.00 in at every size, and the grade alone explains it: the garment grades by one inch and the body grades by two, so twice the grade less the body grade is zero. Note what that figure is on the jacket from this same house in this same batch, which is exactly 3.00, and note that both use the same grading rule of one inch, and note what follows: the rule is the house and the level is the garment, and the level is set by the first size and by nothing else on the page. Note the sleeve row, which is 27.5 on all five sizes while the chest grows by an inch at every step and the length by half an inch, and note the one word on the page that accounts for it, which is raglan. Note what a raglan does, which is remove the shoulder seam, and note what that does to the run: it has asked for a sleeve measurement point on every garment for a hundred and twelve of them, and on this one there is no shoulder to measure from. Note that the run cannot prove this is why the row is flat, because the page does not say where the sleeve is measured from, and it should say so. Note the useful figure count, which is eleven and not fifteen, because one row carries one figure. Note the body table, which is men's of 37 to 45 in. Our proposal below publishes the sleeve type alongside the sleeve measurement point, the yarn count and micron, the knit gauge, the fibre codes spelled out in words, the overlapping share named, a colour reference as a code and a word, and one cleaning method or an order of preference.

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, layering, smart casual dressing and autumn and winter. A fine cashmere blend pullover carries a shirt or a tee under it and a coat over it, and a raglan shoulder sits easily under a jacket.
Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes three measurements for all five sizes, states two fibres with both shares summing to one hundred and gives the standard codes as well, names its fibre, fit, neck, trim, sleeve construction and country, gives six care instructions including a drying method and a prohibition, gives a code, and every size is in stock. It gives no fabric weight, no knit gauge, no stitch name, no yarn count and no micron although softness is the selling point, no sleeve measurement point, no shoulder width, no waist, no hip, no neck width, drop or rib depth, no rib width, no explanation of the fibre codes, no note that cashmere is a wool so the shares overlap, no washing temperature as a number, no certification, no model, no size conversion, no shrinkage figure and no pilling grade, and it carries one photograph. Three things follow: the only flat sleeve row in this run, on the only garment that says raglan, which removes the point the run has been asking for; an ease of exactly five inches against exactly three on the jacket from the same house in the same batch, so the grading rule belongs to the house and the level to the garment; and a colour field containing the name of a cloth.
Twenty-seven point five, five times, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what the other two rows do before saying what this one does. It is worth then stating what the chest does, which is grow by an inch at every step, and what the length does, which is grow by half an inch at every step. It is worth then stating what the sleeve does, which is nothing. It is worth then stating what the run has found in a flat row before, which is a single zero step, twice: once on a cardigan and once on a thermal, and it is worth then stating what this is, which is four of them in a row. It is worth then turning to the page for the reason. It is worth then stating what it finds, which is one word: raglan. It is worth then stating what a raglan is, which is a sleeve set in on a diagonal from the neck, with no shoulder seam. It is worth then stating what that does to the run: for a hundred and twelve garments it has asked where the sleeve is measured from, and on this garment the place it keeps asking about is not there. It is worth then stating what it cannot say, which is that this is the reason. It is worth then stating why not: the page does not give a measurement point, so the run has a hypothesis with one case and not a confirmation. It is worth then stating what it should do with a hypothesis like that, which is ask for the sleeve type as well as the point, from here on.
Five and three, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying whose the two are. It is worth then stating that both are this house, and both are in this batch, and both grade the chest by exactly one inch. It is worth then stating what the rule gives, which is twice one less two, which is nothing, so both should be flat, and what they are: five inches on this garment and three on the jacket. It is worth then stating what sets the difference, which is the first size: this one starts at 42 inches around on a 37 inch body, and the jacket starts at 40. It is worth then stating what the run has been doing with house charts, which is reading a house's fit off them, and what this shows, which is that there is no such thing. It is worth then stating the split: the rule is the house, the level is the garment. It is worth then turning to the colour. It is worth then reading the field, which says Flannel, and it is worth then stating what flannel is, which is a cloth, and what the garment is made of, which is cashmere and wool and not flannel. It is worth then stating what the other colourway is called, which is Nut, and what nut is, which is a food. It is worth then stating what the run should conclude: this house's colour vocabulary is a cloth and a food, and the run has been asking for a colour with a code, and this is what it gets instead. It is worth then closing on the photographs: one, on a garment at 225 pounds, against five on a tee at 59.
