Crew Men's Navy Blue Waffle-Knit Wool & Cashmere Sweater

This cashmere and wool blend knit is an exceptional material, a perfect marriage of luxury and comfort. This blend brings warmth and softness and we have been using it in our collections for many years for our sweaters of different shapes as well as for accessories such as hats or scarves. Typically knitted in jersey and in a rather dense fine gauge for sweaters, we also use it in a ribbed version and in looser gauges for scarves and hats.

Our manufacturing process embodies Hartford’s commitment to high-quality, sustainable production. We prioritize local sourcing, with 80% of our products manufactured in the Mediterranean region (Morocco, Portugal, Italy), while the remainder is produced worldwide based on the origin of materials and local expertise—such as in India for certain prints or embroidery, or in China for certain specialty wools, for example. We rely on long-term partnerships, synonymous with reliability and expertise: 50% of our products are manufactured by partners we’ve worked with for over 20 years, and 80% by partners we’ve worked with for over 10 years. Finally, we prioritize contract manufacturing (60% of production) by sourcing materials ourselves in Europe, thereby ensuring full traceability and access to the finest European natural materials.
