Zanone

Zanone is an Italian knitwear label, part of the Slowear group, and it has been making knitwear since 1986. Everything is made in Italy. The range covers sweaters, cardigans, polo shirts and T-shirts in merino wool, cashmere and cotton, with minimalist lines and the odd contrasting detail.

The yarns are the draw. Flexwool blends fine merino with a thin stretch thread, so it has some give, stays light and can be washed at home. Ice Cotton is made with a high-twist process, which makes it breathable, fresh to wear and hard-wearing through washing and age.

Slowear suggests wearing a merino cardigan with Incotex trousers, or an Ice Cotton polo with jeans. Trunk Clothiers stocks it too.
