Pringle of Scotland

Pringle of Scotland is one of the world's oldest knitwear brands, founded in 1815 in the Scottish Borders. It is best known for cashmere and fine knitwear made with traditional Scottish craftsmanship.

The argyle is the pattern people link to Pringle most. It was born in 1930s Scotland and later reimagined as a bold intarsia knit, and it has been worn on golf courses and catwalks. The Duke of Windsor wore it, and the brand says the pattern keeps evolving while staying unmistakably Pringle.

The range covers men and women, with cashmere sweaters, designer knitwear and loungewear. If you want classic Scottish knitwear with real history behind it, this is a sensible place to start.
