<h3 class="entry-title">“THE YELLOW MILANO STITCH SWEATER JACKET”</h3>

Published on April 5, 2015</abbr> in From Louis. 2 Comments

I told you earlier in the season that I was doing two “MILANO STITCH SWEATERS”, and here is the second one, A265550……Some of you may recognize this sweater as something similar to a popular sweater from the past……you would be correct…..Every so often I look through my archives in search of something that I feel is as relevant, as important now as it was when I first introduced it….Something that new Linea customers, who didn’t have the chance to purchase it the first time it was offered, might want to add to their new Linea wardrobes…This sweater jacket met all of the criteria…………It is similar, but not exactly the same to another I have offered before. The COTTON/ACRYLIC yarn is the same, and if you may own the previous one, you know just how well this yarn has stood up to time. It has a zip front [one way], RIBBED COLLAR and RIBBED POCKET BANDS, the pockets are functional…. all as before….. but this time the sweater has a 3/4 length sleeve with a RIBBED START. This gives the jacket some what of a retro feel….so popular today…….The length of the XS sweater is approx 23 inches……The shape is definitely boxier than the newest Milano stitch sweater, but exactly as the vintage one…..and similar to ottoman sweaters from the past……………The color above is YELLOW. If you own anything in SUNSHINE YELLOW as the SHORT SLEEVE MOCK NECK WK above, A251584 , which also comes in IVORY, RED and NAVY……..or the SUNSHINE YELLOW LACE SHELL. A252346…shown above….they all MATCH PERFECTLY. I think the lace shell and the Yellow sweater jacket would make for an ideal outfit for any spring/summer special occasion…..Switch it out with the mock neck or a tank…..pair it with jeans, and you have a wonderful casual outfit…..still pulled together….still sophisticated……Add the GOLD FISH, J278128 and the BOLD GOLD HOOP, J288005, for a little fun…..and you are off…………………………………………………………………………enjoy……………………..much Love…………………..Louis

……………………..DARK DEEP NAVY and GLEAMING WHITE with ICE COLD SILVER…..is a winning combination! Classic….yes, but for me, NEVER boring………..Under the NAVY SWEATER/JACKET, A265550, is the perfect WHITE “T”, A255118. It is in the poly/span that I always use for my printed tops…..What makes this T so special is that the front is DOUBLE FABRIC [in the white only], so there is absolutely NO SEE THROUGH. Really, when was the last time you saw any white T shirt made with a doubled front so you didn’t have to worry about your bra showing through. Many white Ts are so transparent you either have to layer it, or only wear it with a jacket or cardigan over it for modesty?! That’s why I call it the PERFECT WHITE “T” SHIRT…..On the bottom…my WHITE Linea Leisure pull-on pant. If you haven’t gotten yours yet because you think it’s too early for white….you’re almost TOO LATE! Get them immediately before they are gone for the season…..there aren’t any more coming in!…………..To complete the outfit…my SILVER BEADS in the Linea finish. Ladies…..this may be the last time these beads are avail. in the Linea finishes of Silver,Gold, Gunmetal and Chocolate. This was a special finish developed for me at AK and i had it reproduced for my QVC line. The factory where these were made doesn’t want to make them again….it’s the same story as my Roma Ponte [my Linea Ladies who know this fabric know what the story is...the factory refused to make it again because it was to difficult to knit]. This necklace in all the colors and the set of matching stud earring is going to go the same way the Roma Ponte went. I am saying this because these pieces are unique, and will soon be gone forever. I will be showing them in all the colors over and over again….season after season. I felt I had to share this information with you. I wanted to make new styles in these finishes, but so far we have not found a factory who will do it, and the factory that made these bead necklaces and stud earrings was one of the best factories……What can I say….I was thrilled when I was first able to bring these to you…thinking of all the different styles I wanted to do in the new Linea finish, but the end came much quicker than I expected…….so if they appeal to you, I wouldn’t let them slip through your fingers….they are chic, sophisticated, timeless….yet still modern with an edge! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..enjoy…………..much Love………………………………Louis

……………….GREAT WHITE sweaters and jackets are not easy to find…….this SWEATER/JACKET has it all!……You can be sure, with the Milano stitch, there is NO see through. The zipper is SILVER….This white cotton/acrylic sweater will work with ANY of your WK WHITE sweaters……..The V-neck tank, A253408, the short sleeve V-neck, A233942, the sleeveless mock neck, A233947, all work with this cardigan. Don’t forget the “TWOFER”, A255153, in WHITE also works, and that’s the WK tank and the WK short sleeve V-neck…At $59 it’s a terrific buy for two classic WK sweaters…..something for everyone……….To finish it off the SILVER FISH, J288023 and the BOLD HOOP, J288005…..The SWIRL earring and the DEMI HOOP are also avail in SILVER and just back in stock……….Whether you wear it casually with jeans or leggings such as the A252344, which were reordered this past spring, but are now on clearance…..a terrific cotton/span legging….. the new Linea Leisure pant, A262070 for Reg. and A262072 P, in white, navy or black [selling out quickly]…..or more dressed up with trousers such as the NAVY or BLACK PINSTRIPE, A259098 Reg/A259099 P……How much do I love the pinstripe pants with with sweater jacket…..really natty!…..or the navy WK pencil skirt, A253422, with sneakers or killer heels….this is a sweater/jacket that will work for you season after season….year after year………a collectors piece….. an ESSENTIAL……a must have…………………………………………………………………….

………………………………………………………………………..enjoy…………………much Love……………………Louis

I have the original long sleeve version in white, and I can attest to the fact that these wear like iron. Mine still looks new!

This was a Pass for me- until I saw Louis' photos. Now the white is for sure and maybe navy. I need the white with last year's black/white faux linen pants for a more casual look than with the matching blazer.
