This year, the mercury can go down as it pleases: you will be ready.
And you will do it in style.
Because today, I present to you two cold-proof lambswool armors .
And armor always comes with its equipment:
- Three new scarves, to protect your neck.
- Five new hats, to protect your ears.
Todd & Duncan spinning: certified Scottish quality 🏴
For the first time in our history we are working with legendary Scottish spinner Todd & Duncan.
Famous for its expertise and for the excellence of its color ranges, it is a supplier requested each season by luxury houses such as Chanel, Dior or Prada.
Next to it, Loch Seven, whose fresh water contributes greatly to the fame of its line. And since we're on the move, we went to meet them in Scotland!
“First sheared” lamb’s wool: fine, soft, and ethical 🐑
For our yarn, Todd & Duncan used superfine merino lambswool : 18.5 microns, the equivalent of grade B cashmere!
This down comes from the first shearing of young merino sheep, whose wool is softer than that of an adult
✔️Respect for the animal world
- This wool comes from mulesing free farms in South Africa
, and of course the European REACH regulation. - Yarns meet strict standards
which exclude many other harmful substances from production.
Patient and perfectionist shadowing 🧘♂️
The second point that makes Todd & Duncan famous is its century of spinning know-how!
It was during the 1950s that Todd & Duncan perfected its approach: the fibers were pulled longer for a more rounded and bulkier yarn.
This requires time and patience, but the result is a more beautiful yarn, which best preserves the properties of the first tent lamb fiber. And that really makes a difference.
An artisanal culture anchored locally, now passed on to new generations.
A knit rich in details 🇵🇹
To knit this yarn, we are leaving Scotland, heading to Portugal.
This is where our workshop knits this sublime Gaelic yarn to give birth to our sweaters, scarves and hats.
“It’s a very large knitting stitch.
And it's essential to give that bouncy, soft and addictive side that we're looking for in a very large knit."
- Julien, Head of Collection
In the end, we find the feeling of a sweater, a hat and a scarf that our grandmother could have knitted for us. A really strong grandmother.
And because this granny would have always taken care of our style
At BonneGueule, the knitted pieces are entirely re-knitted:
1️⃣The yokes are directly knitted into their final shape, with finished edges.
2️⃣The sides are carefully connected by a chain stitch.
3️⃣The collar is linked by intertwining loops.
- A clean and aesthetic assembly.
- A soft and comfortable knit in every way.
- No fraying.
For this European knitting championship, we knitted you...
🔔 Bing! Our cold fighters can enter the ring.
Two sweaters, “heavyweight” category
It's 7 a.m.
You have to go out and face the zero points waiting for you outside. If it were hotter, you would be sweating because you dread this ordeal.
This sweater is made for those moments.
It is there to transform your apprehension into desire.
The desire to go out and face the squalls, wrapped up in your comforting mesh shield .
820g (Eight hundred and twenty grams).
This is his weight in size M. We are very far from these thick but air-filled sweaters
This makes it our heaviest sweater.
"The challenge ?
Obtain a sweater as warm as our superyak sweater, but with a more accessible material, and just as comfortable."
- Julien
Note from Benoit: my experience with this sweater
You'll laugh, but my main fear with this sweater was... being too hot!
And from the first ports, it quickly took off, because the thermoregulatory properties of this first-sheared lamb, and this knitting stitch, work wonders. Even indoors. Even when the radiator gets angry.
It's one of the nicest knits in my wardrobe, with its softness and softness. In terms of "X Factor", we are very good there!
This sweater therefore closes our 2019 knitwear collection with great fanfare, with the great thrill of Scottish know-how. 🔥
How to wear these sweaters?
With this large knitting stitch full of character, leave your suit jacket in the locker room. Time for relaxation.
Without running away from the rain
Well, put on some rain gear. In case of unpredictable weather, waxed cotton will suffice, your sweater will take care of the rest.
And when I talk about the rest, I'm talking about the cold.
By conquering Scotland
Grab your most workwear pants, put on your combat boots, switch the collar of your jacket to attack mode, and don't slip off that cliff.
On an autumn picnic
No need for a diving suit: stick with a flannel vest, for fun, and let its thick mesh taunt the breeze.
With a Thursday night drink
A monochrome shades of neutral tones, a navy jacket with a shirt collar to be chic and a hat to not be too chic.
On a date
Because relaxation and elegance go hand in hand, add a little light to it with white pants and a woolen cloth... yak coat!

Three scarves, to twist your neck with the thermometer
When the mercury flirts with zero, wearing a wool behemoth is good.
Wearing it with a scarf is better.
1️⃣ An ideal length to wrap yourself up flawlessly.
2️⃣ A beautiful flowing drape, so that the scarf can live as it wishes and give a touch of nonchalance to your outfit.
It's even better.
Five hats, headbutt to the weather
The cold attacks from the extremities and your head is one of them.
So it was time.
It was time to answer the big question of the morning:
“Damn, I don’t have a hat that goes with this outfit.”
So here are five colors that will silence that little voice forever.
For versatility: beige, navy and gray
For a touch of panache: burgundy and olive
