To target the value-oriented segment, this version uses a cotton-polyester blend and a midweight jersey knit, which lowers production costs and allows for easier care (machine washable). The fit is a more standard, less slouchy silhouette with set-in shoulders instead of dropped shoulders, appealing to a customer who may prefer a more traditional look. Standard, color-matched plastic buttons replace the oversized Corozo buttons to further reduce cost while maintaining a clean aesthetic.

This product is elevated to a premium status through its material composition, using a luxurious and soft blend of baby alpaca and merino wool. The design is differentiated with a sophisticated cable knit pattern and a versatile funnel neck that can be styled in multiple ways. A hidden button placket and genuine horn buttons create a cleaner, more elevated finish. The sleeves are updated with a subtle balloon shape and elongated cuffs for a more fashion-forward silhouette.
