The Cross 7 gg in Charcoal from Pittari, a small family-run British brand, blending the silhouette of a sweatshirt with the warmth of a merino knit, knitted in extra-soft lambswool with a crewneck and ribbed cuffs, listed at 140 GBP and in stock in all four sizes. It is worth beginning with one sentence on this page, because it is the first fit claim in this run the run can actually test. It is worth then reading it, which is that these jumpers fit true to size, so take your regular size. It is worth then stating what makes that different from every other fit word the run has met, which is that it is a claim about the body and not about the shape. It is worth then stating what true to size would mean in a measurement, which is an ease of about two or three inches at the chest. It is worth then stating what this garment measures, which is five. It is worth then turning to the care text, and it is worth then stating what the run has been asking for on every garment and not getting. The reference is the Cross 7 gg. 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
- The first fit claim the run can test, and it fails: true to size, with five inches of ease. See the note below
- A sleeve row that reads as two pairs of shared figures and is not: a quarter inch grade rounded down. See the note below
- A length row whose last step is double the others, the second case of that shape in two batches and at the same end. See the note below
- The longest care text in this run, with a proper order of preference, three methods in order, drying answered in full, and storage answered too. See the note below
- A percentage attached to a place and not a fibre: 100% British and Irish yarn. See the note below
- Three countries on one garment again, so the third field the run proposed on the coat in this same batch is needed twice. See the note below
- The fourth sustainability claim in three batches and the emptiest: the word, with nothing after it. See the note below
- No style code at all, the first garment in this run without one. See the note below
Customisable Options
- Yarn: an extra-soft merino lambswool to the reference with the fibre share stated and the micron count given, or a merino wool with the micron stated, or a lambswool with the shear named, or a British and Irish yarn with the split between them given, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Fit: a true to size fit to the reference with the ease published for every size and the body table it was computed against named, or a relaxed fit with the same figures, or an oversized fit with the same figures, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Shape: a sweatshirt silhouette to the reference with the shoulder, chest and hem published so the dropped shoulder is measured, or a standard knit shoulder with the shoulder width stated, each quoted separately. See the note below

- Storage: folding and hanging guidance given with the reason, and moth deterrence stated. See the note below
- Grading: a constant grade on every row, published unrounded or with the grid stated, so a shared figure never appears in the chart. See the note below

Size Chart as Published by the Reference
| Size | Pit to pit (inches) | Sleeve length (inches) | Length (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 21 in | 20 in | 24 in |
| M | 22 in | 20 in | 24.5 in |
| L | 23 in | 20.5 in | 25 in |
| XL | 24 in | 20.5 in | 26 in |
The pit to pit figures are flat half measures, doubling to 42, 44, 46 and 48 in around. Against men's bodies of roughly 37 to 43 in at the chest, the ease is about 5.0 in at every size. Note the claim on the page, which is that these fit true to size, and note what the run must say about it: true to size would be an ease of two or three inches, and five is not that, and five is what the run has measured on garments called slightly oversized and oversized. Note what that makes this, which is the first fit claim the run has been able to test, and it fails. Note the sleeve, which reads 20, 20, 20.5 and 20.5, and note what that looks like, which is two pairs of sizes sharing a figure. Note what it is: a constant quarter inch grade, rounded down to a half inch grid, and note that this is the fourth garment the run's rounding tool has rescued and the first sleeve row. Note the length, which steps 0.5, 0.5 and 1.0, and note what the run says about that shape: it does not alternate, so it is not a rounding grid, and the last step being double is the second case of that in two batches and at the same end. Note the sleeve against the length, 20 against 24, and note that the run has the opposite case elsewhere in this run, where the sleeve exceeds the length, and that no page says which point either was measured from. Note the body table, which is men's of 37 to 43 in. Our proposal below publishes the fibre share, the micron count, the gauge, the sleeve point, an unrounded grade, and the ease for every size against a named body table.

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, smart casual layering, weekends and autumn and winter. A merino lambswool knit with a sweatshirt shape carries a shirt under it or a coat over it, and ribbed cuffs hold their shape through a long day.
Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes three measurements for all four sizes, states a yarn origin with a percentage, names its fibre twice in the prose, makes a fit claim in a sentence rather than a word, gives three cleaning methods in a proper order of preference, gives a full drying method with a shape instruction and a prohibition, gives storage guidance with the reason, gives a caution about pilling, names its country and its yarn countries, describes its own house, and carries four photographs. It gives no fibre share and attaches its only percentage to a place and not to a fibre, no fibre named in any specification, no micron count, no yarn count, no knit gauge, no fabric weight, no waist, no shoulder width although the shape claim makes one the thing most worth measuring, no sleeve measurement point although 20 in is short for a shoulder and normal for an underarm, no sleeve type, no length measurement point, no neck width, no rib depth, no cuff opening, no washing temperature as a number although it says cold, no certifier for its sustainability claim, no model, no size conversion, no shrinkage figure, no pilling grade and no colour fastness, and no style code at all. Three things follow: the first fit claim in this run that can be tested, and it fails; a care text that answers three asks the run has been making and one it never thought to make; and a percentage attached to a place rather than a fibre.
True to size, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying why this one is different from every other fit word the run has met. It is worth then stating what the others are, which are regular, relaxed, oversized, slightly oversized and boxy, and it is worth then stating what those describe, which is a shape. It is worth then stating what this one describes, which is a relationship to the body, and it is worth then stating what that makes it, which is a checkable claim. It is worth then stating what the run did next, which is measure it: the chest is 42 to 48 in around against bodies of 37 to 43, so the ease is five inches. It is worth then stating what true to size would be, which is two or three, and it is worth then stating what five is, which is what the run measured on garments called slightly oversized and oversized. It is worth then stating the conclusion plainly: the first testable fit claim in this run, and it fails. It is worth then stating what the run should do now, which is stop asking what the words mean and start saying, of each claim that can be checked, here is the measurement that answers it. It is worth then stating the rate so far: the run has now tested two pieces of sizing advice, this one and another house's conversion rule, and one held and one did not.
One hundred per cent British and Irish yarn, and that is the second thing, and it is worth saying what question that percentage answers. It is worth then stating what the run has been asking for on every garment, which is every share stated and summing to one hundred, and it is worth then stating what this percentage is a share of, which is a place. It is worth then stating what the run has never seen before, which is a percentage attached to an origin rather than a fibre, and it is worth then stating what is missing, which is any share for any fibre at all. It is worth then stating where the fibre lives, which is in the prose and nowhere else, and it is worth then stating what the prose says, which is lambswool and merino. It is worth then stating what those two are, which are different things: one is wool from a first shear and the other is a breed, and it is worth then stating that the page uses both and does not reconcile them. It is worth then stating the third thing, which is the care text, and it is worth then stating what the run has been asking for and not getting, which is a drying instruction. It is worth then stating what it gets here, which is dry flat in shape, roll in a towel, and never wring or twist, and it is worth then stating what it never thought to ask for, which is storage, and it is worth then stating what it gets, which is fold rather than hang, with the reason. It is worth then stating what the run should do with that, which is add storage to its asks.
Optional upgrades include the fibre share stated and summing to one hundred, the fibre named in a specification and not only in the prose, the micron count, the yarn count, the knit gauge as stitches per inch, the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the shoulder width and the dropped shoulder measured, the sleeve measurement point, the length measurement point, the neck width and rib depth, the cuff opening, the washing temperature as a number alongside the word cold, the split between British and Irish yarn, the certifier for the sustainability claim, a size conversion, an unrounded grade with the grid stated, shrinkage figures for both length and width, a pilling grade tested after a stated number of cycles, colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light, merino, lambswool and blended yarn options, finer and coarser gauge options, V neck, roll neck and standard shoulder options, further colourways, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling.
