Rothbury is a great blank classic body to get creative with. Use a hero yarn; add your own creative flair, experiment with colour blocking, fairisle or intarsia pattern work.
The body has been designed with 4 inches of positive ease, however If you want a more roomy fit go up a size or two from your usual size.
We’ve graded this wardrobe essential to fit from a 30 inch chest up to a 50 inch chest, with options given for a bespoke
fit.
