Apparel

Classic items from Norway, Ireland and England.

Although our emphasis is on fine woolens in Scandinavian and British Isles traditions, we feature other apparel in season - also look at our better footwear (see footwear). We would like to call attention to fine brands that actually make product in the U.S.A.

The first is "Tianello" whose shirt/jacket made from "Tencel" easily crosses the line from casual to workplace year-around. Basic stock is the "Aida" - a straight line shirt/jacket (shown) in either a smooth, very soft fabric, or a grape leaf, light texture fabric. Both are tencil. Both have a 3/4 sleeve. Black is the most popular. Other colors are stocked or ordered in season. A basic pant is also stocked;

Tianello, known for their easy care Tencel jackets cannot be forgotten.

"Alps", a modestly priced knitwear line for year-around use. An old American manufacturer from Maine who still makes great cottons - shown is "Nadia', a sweater design we carried some thirty years ago. Several new styles and colorways are on the floor.

The major part of the line is 'daily use', modestly priced, better quality casual sportswear. You will like it.

Alps summer cottons are a favorite - a favorite for style, quality and price.

Summer brings casual separates, coordinates, and accessories in wearable fabrics and comfortable styles for summer activities.

Summer Cut Loose Dark red shrug/sweater

Cut Loose presents "real clothing for real people" emphasizing two weights of linen in casual cuts with an integrated complementary colors.

A hint of the 1970's that reflects the Cut Loose theme "real clothing for real people."

Karen Hart offers a number of summer tops - good value and good quality.

Nomadic Traders

Don't forget the Tranello jackets in summer colors - same tencel.
