Meyers Manx
The inspiration here is the movie, The Thomas Crown Affair, the original 1968 version: Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway driving around on the beach in a dune buggy in the winter. The essence of cool and easy style in a snuggly, thick, off-white pullover sweater. The Meyers Manx is a simplified version of that Aran sweater inspiration, with a broken rib body in a lush tweed, suitable for any gender. And it’s a great movie, too.
