Husbands has shortened and softened the ivy league shaggy sweater for its second Fall/Winter 2026 release, Searching for Francis. The knit arrives cut short and boxy, its raglan sleeves dropped to sit gently on the shoulder, a silhouette that nods to collegiate heritage whilst feeling entirely contemporary.
Knitted in Italy from a brushed superfine alpaca blend, the sweater carries an airy, almost weightless texture that belies its substance. Long ribbed cuffs and matching hem provide definition and proportion, anchoring the relaxed volume of the body. The brushed finish softens the light, giving the knit a muted, considered quality that photographs with particular grace.
The piece arrives in three colourways, each selected to pair seamlessly with autumn wardrobes. The taupe shown here sits between warm and cool, a shade that settles easily into a season of transition. The knitwear is now in store and available online.
