LA HAINE INSIDE US 3K M1195 Long Knitwear - Black Gauge 7 Roller Treatment Cotton Wool High Neck Men's Italian FW25/26

Gauge 7. Roller Treatment. High Wide Neck. Long. Italian Avant-Garde.

The LA HAINE INSIDE US 3K M1195 is a men's long knitwear in black. Gauge 7 knit construction in a four-fibre blend: 75% cotton / 10% viscose / 10% wool / 5% wool-polyamide. Roller treatment applied to the finished knit surface. High wide neck (lupetto). Long body: 70cm at XS, 78cm at XL. Relaxed comfort fit. This is a technically specified comfort knitwear — the gauge, the roller treatment, the four-fibre blend, and the long length are each a deliberate design and material decision, not incidental. Made in Italy. Fall/Winter 25/26.

Why This Knitwear Is Different

• Gauge 7 — the knit structure: Gauge in knitwear refers to the number of needles per inch on the knitting machine; gauge 7 (7 needles per inch) is a medium gauge — coarser than fine-gauge jersey (gauge 12–14, which produces a smooth, close-knit surface similar to a T-shirt) and finer than heavy chunky-gauge knits (gauge 3–5, which produce open, thick stitch structures with visible loop patterns); at gauge 7, the 3K M1195's knit structure is mid-weight: the individual stitches are visible as a defined knit pattern at the fabric surface, the fabric has substantial body and warmth without the thickness or heaviness of a coarser gauge, and the cotton-dominant blend (75% cotton) at gauge 7 produces a knit that is structured and warm without the trapped-air insulation of a wool-dominant heavy-gauge sweater; gauge 7 in cotton-dominant blend = the textural and weight sweet spot for a comfort knitwear intended for daily autumn and winter wear
• Roller treatment — the finishing process: After knitting, the 3K M1195 fabric passes through heated rollers that compress and smooth the knit surface; the stitch structure remains intact (the gauge 7 knit pattern is still visible), but the surface yarns are partially flattened and consolidated; the result is a softer hand (reduced prickle and surface texture relative to untreated gauge 7 cotton-wool knit) and a slightly denser surface appearance; roller treatment is a mechanical process — no chemicals, no applied coatings; the treated surface feels measurably softer than an untreated gauge 7 knit in the same blend, which is the basis of the product name “comfort knitwear”; the roller treatment is why this gauge 7 cotton-wool knit can be worn next to the skin without discomfort
• Four-fibre blend — each fibre's function: 75% cotton provides the structural matrix of the knit, the breathability, and the matte black surface character; 10% viscose is added to the cotton base to reduce the cotton knit's inherent stiffness and improve drape — at 10% in a gauge 7 knit, viscose softens the hand of the predominantly cotton yarn and adds a slight surface smoothness to the cotton-dominant fabric; 10% wool is the thermal modifier — wool's three-dimensional fibre crimp traps air between and within the fibre clusters, adding insulation to the cotton-viscose base without requiring a wool-dominant composition that would produce a heavier, more wool-characteristic surface; 5% wool-polyamide is a reinforcement specification: a blended yarn where wool is bonded with polyamide (nylon) fibres; wool-polyamide yarns are specified in premium knitwear for wear-points (cuffs, neck ribbing, hem ribbing) because polyamide is significantly more abrasion-resistant than wool or cotton, extending the structural life of the knit at the points that experience the most repeated friction and stress in wear; at 5%, the wool-polyamide contributes durability rather than surface character or thermal performance
• High wide neck (lupetto) — the design signature: The 3K M1195's neck is described as “high wide” — a mock or high turtleneck with a wider circumference than a fitted rollneck; the high neck provides thermal coverage at the throat without the constriction of a tight rollneck; LA HAINE INSIDE US's lupetto specification places the neck as the primary design element of the 3K M1195: the knitwear's silhouette reads high-neck-forward, the collar height and width defining the garment's upper-body character; unlike crew necks (which read casual-sweater) or V-necks (which read classic-preppy), the high wide lupetto reads contemporary avant-garde — the neck treatment that distinguishes LA HAINE INSIDE US's FW25/26 comfort knitwear from a standard cotton-wool crew-neck sweater of equivalent gauge and composition
• Long length — 70–78cm by size: The 3K M1195's body length (70cm at XS, 78cm at XL) is 5–10cm longer than a standard men's sweater at equivalent sizes (typically 65–68cm); the long length is a LA HAINE INSIDE US design decision that changes the knitwear's relationship to the lower body: above trousers, the hem falls below the trouser waistband and toward the upper thigh, covering the trouser-belt zone and reading as a longer, more layered silhouette; the long hem is not a tunic length (not below mid-thigh) but a deliberate extension of the standard sweater's lower boundary to contemporary proportions; the long length at gauge 7 in a four-fibre cotton-wool blend has weight and movement appropriate to the extended length — the hem does not ride up, and the knit's drape through the body is aided by the 10% viscose's contribution to the cotton base's drape
• Relaxed comfort fit — not oversized, not fitted: The 3K M1195's relaxed fit provides ease across the chest and shoulders without the extreme width of an oversized silhouette; at gauge 7 in a medium-weight cotton-wool blend, the relaxed fit allows the knit to fall from the shoulders and chest without the fabric pulling across the body or bunching at movement points; the combination of relaxed fit, gauge 7 weight, roller treatment surface, and long length produces the “comfort” character of the 3K M1195 — a knitwear that wears with ease without reading as shapeless or too casual
• LA HAINE INSIDE US — Italian avant-garde, Made in Italy: LA HAINE INSIDE US is an Italian avant-garde brand; the 3K M1195 combines Italian knitwear construction (gauge 7 with roller treatment, four-fibre specification, lupetto neck, long length) with the brand's design language of structural comfort in dark, near-neutral palette; unlike brands where “comfort knitwear” means a simple cotton jersey, LA HAINE INSIDE US specifies a technically precise construction (gauge, treatment, fibre blend) to produce comfort at a defined quality level; Made in Italy; FW25/26
• Unlike standard cotton crew-neck sweaters (which are typically untreated, single or two-fibre, and standard length), the 3K M1195 specifies roller treatment for skin-contact comfort, four-fibre blend for multi-property performance (breathability + drape + warmth + durability), gauge 7 for mid-weight structure, and long length for contemporary proportion; unlike wool-dominant sweaters (which are warmer but heavier and more care-intensive), the 3K M1195's 75% cotton base keeps the knitwear breathable and relatively easy to care for while the 10% wool adds meaningful thermal insulation at a proportion that does not dominate the fibre character or the care requirements

The Moment You Put It On

The roller treatment is the first contact point: the gauge 7 cotton-wool surface, treated and smoothed, lands against the skin without the prickle of an untreated medium-gauge wool-blend knit; this is what “comfort knitwear” means in the 3K M1195's specification — not a marketing term but a technically achieved result. The high wide neck settles at the throat without constriction; the lupetto's width accommodates the neck's natural movement without pulling. The long hem falls past the trouser waistband, the gauge 7 cotton-viscose-wool blend at relaxed fit hanging with enough weight to stay in position. The four-fibre construction is working at all these points simultaneously: the cotton providing structure and breathability; the viscose's drape contribution to the knit's fall through the body; the wool beginning to add thermal insulation as the knitwear reaches body temperature; the roller treatment sustaining the surface comfort at the neck and forearms throughout the day.

The Art of Gauge 7 With Roller Treatment

Gauge 7 knitwear in a cotton-dominant blend presents a specific construction challenge: cotton at gauge 7 produces a knit with substantial stitch definition and structure, but cotton yarns at this gauge retain more surface irregularity and stiffness than finer-gauge cotton or than wool-dominant yarns at the same gauge (wool's natural elasticity gives wool-dominant gauge 7 a softer initial hand than cotton-dominant gauge 7 at the same needle count). The roller treatment addresses this directly: by passing the finished gauge 7 cotton-dominant knit through heated rollers, the surface yarns are consolidated and the stitch surface is smoothed without compressing the fabric's depth or warmth; the treated gauge 7 surface achieves the skin-contact comfort of a finer-gauge knit while retaining the gauge 7's mid-weight structure, stitch definition, and thermal performance. The addition of 10% viscose to the 75% cotton base further reduces the cotton yarn's stiffness at the fibre level: viscose is inherently smoother and more flexible than cotton fibre, and at 10% in the blend, viscose softens the cotton yarn's hand before the roller treatment; the roller treatment then addresses the remaining surface texture of the cotton-viscose yarn. The 10% wool adds thermal performance and the wool-polyamide at 5% protects the knit's structural integrity at wear-points for the life of the garment. LA HAINE INSIDE US's specification of gauge 7 with roller treatment in a four-fibre cotton-viscose-wool-polyamide blend is a technically complete approach to producing a comfort knitwear that achieves soft skin-contact feel at medium gauge without sacrificing the gauge 7's structural weight, warmth, and stitch character. Italian avant-garde. Made in Italy.

How to Wear It

• As the knitwear layer in a LA HAINE INSIDE US FW25/26 layered look: The 3K M1195's long length and relaxed fit make it the mid-layer knitwear in a three-layer autumn/winter look — worn over a base layer (T-shirt or lightweight top) and under a jacket or coat; the long hem extending below a jacket's hem adds visible knitwear length at the hem break, a deliberate proportion element in LA HAINE INSIDE US's layered styling
• Worn solo over trousers — the long-hem silhouette: The 3K M1195 worn without a jacket above black trousers (straight or tapered) — the long hem falling toward the upper thigh reads as a complete upper-body garment with contemporary proportion; the high wide neck and long hem working together to frame the torso with height and length; a minimal, strong silhouette in black
• High neck as a layering anchor: The lupetto's height means it reads above any jacket's collar; worn under an open-collar jacket or coat, the 3K M1195's high wide neck is the visible inner layer — the knitwear's black lupetto above the jacket's open collar; a structured layering visual without a separate scarf or neckpiece
• Transitional and travel contexts: The four-fibre construction's balance of cotton breathability and wool warmth makes the 3K M1195 effective across ambient temperature ranges from approximately 8–18°C; the knitwear adapts between the thermal demands of outdoor autumn conditions and heated indoor environments more effectively than a wool-dominant sweater (which can overheat indoors) or a pure cotton sweater (which provides less warmth outdoors); appropriate for travel, variable-temperature daily use, and the specific thermal range of autumn-to-early-winter FW25/26 conditions

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold or machine wash cold on delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag with wool-safe detergent — the 10% wool content requires cold water and wool-appropriate detergent (without protease enzymes that degrade wool protein fibres); the 75% cotton is stable through cold washing; the roller treatment is a mechanical finish and is not affected by cold washing
• Do not wring — gently press excess water out; the gauge 7 knit can distort permanently under wring stress when wet
• Lay flat to dry — the 10% wool's lower wet strength means the knitwear should not be hung to dry; lay flat in the garment's natural shape to dry; reshape the lupetto neck and hem to their relaxed dimensions before drying
• Do not tumble dry — heat and mechanical tumbling will cause the wool content to felt and the overall knit to shrink and distort
• Iron on low heat through a pressing cloth if needed — the wool content is heat-sensitive; press through a cloth on low heat; the roller-treated surface can be re-pressed lightly if the surface texture needs refreshing after washing
• Do not bleach
• Store folded or on a padded hanger — the gauge 7 knit's weight can cause the knitwear to distort on a thin hanger; store folded or on a wide padded hanger to maintain the shoulder and neck geometry
