Auster is a handsome modified raglan with a branching cable motif layered over a tracery of diamonds. The front and back are patterned with allover texture standing proud against reverse stockinette sleeves. This straight-bodied crewneck in *Shelter* is designed for a classic fit, just right for wearing over buttondowns during the cold months. Choose a pale neutral to emphasize the cable motifs; for the wearer who prefers an understated look, pick a dark shade like *Artifact* (shown here), *Soot*, or even *Cast Iron*. -------------------------------------------------------- **Construction** The pieces are worked separately and sewn together.
