With a history spanning over 240 years, the British high-quality knitwear brand John Smedley is renowned for its exquisite quality and elegant silhouettes that exude a classic yet luxurious feel. This timeless knitwear brand is beloved all around the world.

John Smedley is especially known for continuously crafting items with a particular focus on the material "Sea Island Cotton." For this feature, we spoke in detail with Motoaki Michihiro of Lea Mills Agency Ltd. about the unique properties of Sea Island Cotton and recommended summer items.

Sea Island Cotton: With the Luster of Silk & the Luxurious Feel of Cashmere

Founded in 1784, John Smedley initially started out making quality socks, underwear, and nightwear. The high-gauge knit techniques developed then are the foundation of what makes today’s John Smedley unique.

These high-gauge knits are crafted from Merino wool in autumn and winter, and from Sea Island Cotton in spring and summer. The silk-like sheen and cashmere-like feel of Sea Island Cotton are what make John Smedley pieces truly stand out.
