An M.J. Bale icon in the making, the Newcombe Cable Knit Crew is knitted from a luxe blend of Italian-spun linen and wool knitted in a mid-weight cable stitch. Designed in a crew neck silhouette, it features ribbed trims at the neck, hem and sleeve cuffs.
Made from a linen-wool blend, the Newcombe Cable Knit Crew combines the breathability and texture of linen with the softness and comfort of Merino wool. The flax in the linen is sourced from European Flax certified growers, whilst the Merino wool is RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified. This is a garment of integrity for you to up your style quotient.

Fibre Source
Known for its unparalleled softness and comfort, Merino wool is a high-performance fibre perfect for all seasons.
It is breathable and moisture-wicking, transporting perspiration and moisture away from the body and towards the surface of the fabric. The natural crimp and scales on the wool fibres create tiny pockets of air that allow for moisture to be absorbed and released quickly. Merino wool is also wrinkle-resistant, making it a terrifically low-maintenance option (particularly when it comes to travelling).
Linen, on the other hand, isn't quite so winkle-resistant. A vegetal product of the flax plant, linen fabric is characterised by it's 'slubby' texture.
But linen is brilliantly breathable. It allows air to circulate and heat to dissipate, keeping you cool and comfortable in warm weather. And it is extremely strong and durable, capable of withstanding regular wear and tear.
When woven together, wool and linen provide the yin to each other's yang: the soft texture and fantastic drape of wool is combined with the rough durability of linen.
