Knitwear isn’t all made equal. The difference lies in the yarn and the build. The details that turn a simple purchase into something you’ll reach for season after season. John Smedley has been in the knitwear conversation longer than most brands have been around — since 1784. ts Lea Mills base in Derbyshire, the oldest continuously operating factory of its kind, is where the brand treats heritage as a springboard. Every men's John Smedley knit, finished with flat seams, shows how old‑school craft can still feel forward‑thinking.
Across John Smedley jumpers and cardigans, the collection moves from extra‑fine merino — sourced in New Zealand, spun in Italy, finished in Derbyshire — to British wool from local farms and UK‑spun yarns, plus eco‑cashmere. Explore John Smedley knitwear at END.
