Why We Love This Deal
Many guys recognize Huckberry’s sweaters as some of the finest non-luxury layers, utilizing some combination of interesting knit fabrics and premium wools. What most don't expect is to see sweaters made from yak wool. This "fiber of the gods" is said to be ultra-durable, and Huckberry blended it into a sweater under its Wills line with both alpaca and classic merino wool fibers to produce something truly remarkable. They normally sell for over $200, but now that it's nearly $100 off, it's even more worth the splurge.
Right now, the Wills YakWool Crewneck Sweater is marked down to under $119 at Huckberry. Expertly woven from the same wools men used in ancient times, when nature felt harsher, and animals roamed freer, this is a sweater that will transport your wardrobe to a different time and place. The Huckberry faithful love this sweater: They've given it a collective 4.5-star rating and appreciate its feel, weight, and, of course, its style.

What Shoppers Should Know

- Color Options: Brown, charcoal, and natural

- Best Use Case: A warm and textured sweater with a handcrafted look and unforgettable backstory.
For yaks and alpacas to survive the high-altitude mountain ranges, they need resilient coats. Fortunately for them, they grow their own. The yak wool brings with it a structural toughness that is balanced by the smoothness of the alpaca. Meanwhile, responsibly-sourced merino wool is blended in to increase breathability and give natural odor-resistance to the sweater. Somewhat magically, the sweater is lightweight yet has good strength, nonetheless. There’s a reason that Huckberry wants to remind us that these wools were once so prized.
There are three colors of this sweater available: a light brown that will show off the deep stitching marks of the cuffs and collar, a charcoal that will match with khakis or slacks for a sophisticated look, and “natural.” The natural look is a white that really invokes the feeling and presence of the animals that help define it. When you’re inevitably asked about the sweater and get a chance to talk about the yak and alpaca wool, your audience will see as well as hear the facts.

Another, who noted that this sweater was on a whole different playing field than your standard department store merino sweaters, had a very interesting perspective. “I find it a very nice change and a bit 'old school' when compared to all the modern, high-tech, insulation layers available.”
