LA HAINE INSIDE US 4K W5130 Women's Oversized Asymmetric Knitwear - Grey / Black Gauge 3 Wool Acrylic Perforated Italian FW25/26

Gauge 3. Wool-Acrylic. Asymmetric. Perforated. Italian Avant-Garde.

The LA HAINE INSIDE US 4K W5130 is a women's oversized asymmetric knitwear in grey and black (two colourways, one product). Gauge 3 knit construction in 30% wool / 40% polyamide / 30% acrylic. Perforated openwork pattern. Asymmetric silhouette. Two banded sizes: XS-S and M-L. 0.6kg. The 4K W5130 shares its gauge (3), polyamide proportion (40%), and structural logic with the LA HAINE INSIDE US 4K W5131 oversized cardigan, but differs fundamentally in fibre composition: the W5130 uses acrylic at 30% in place of the W5131's mohair; acrylic is a synthetic fibre that provides lightweight warmth, dimensional stability, and consistent colour without the mohair's natural halo or lustre; the W5130's gauge 3 surface character is determined by wool crimp and stitch architecture rather than by a fibre halo; the two pieces are related in construction logic but distinct in surface character and fabric behaviour. Made in Italy. Fall/Winter 25/26.

Why This Knitwear Is Different

• 30% wool / 40% polyamide / 30% acrylic — the correct composition (not mohair): The 4K W5130 is a wool-acrylic-polyamide gauge 3 knit; it does not contain mohair; the acrylic at 30% provides: lightweight warmth (acrylic fibres trap air similarly to wool but without wool's natural crimp structure; acrylic at gauge 3 fills the open stitch spaces and contributes to the knit's thermal insulation at a lower weight than an equivalent wool proportion would); surface consistency (acrylic fibres are smooth, uniform, and stable — they do not develop halo, pilling from halo extension, or the natural lustre variation of protein fibres; the gauge 3 stitch structure in a wool-acrylic blend reads with clear stitch definition rather than the cloud-surface softening that mohair halo produces in the W5131); dimensional stability through washing (acrylic is hydrophobic — it does not absorb water and does not change dimensionally through washing; at 30% alongside the 30% wool's inherent tendency to absorb moisture and change dimensions when wet, the acrylic component stabilises the overall knit through the washing cycle and drying process); and colour retention (acrylic dyes bond deeply to the synthetic fibre and are resistant to fading through washing and light exposure, which is relevant to the W5130's grey and black colourways — both are colours where colour integrity is most visible)
• 40% polyamide — structural matrix at gauge 3 oversized: As in the 4K W5131, the 40% polyamide in the W5130 is not a trace reinforcement but the dominant structural fibre by proportion; at gauge 3's open large-loop stitch structure in an oversized garment at 0.6kg total weight, the polyamide's tensile strength holds the stitch loops in their knitted dimensions through the mechanical stress of wear; without the 40% polyamide network, the gauge 3 wool-acrylic stitch structure at oversized dimensions and 0.6kg would permanently elongate under its own weight; the 40% polyamide also provides elastic recovery alongside the 30% wool's crimp — the knitwear returns to its oversized geometry after being worn, stretched through body movement, and removed; LA HAINE INSIDE US's consistent specification of 40% polyamide across both gauge 3 oversized knits (W5130 and W5131) confirms this as a deliberate structural specification for the construction category rather than a fibre-specific addition
• 30% wool — thermal insulation and crimp recovery in gauge 3: The W5130's wool at 30% functions identically to the W5131's wool at 30%: wool's three-dimensional fibre crimp provides elastic recovery to the open gauge 3 stitch structure and traps air for thermal insulation within the large stitch spaces; in the W5130, the wool's crimp contribution to stitch recovery works alongside the acrylic's dimensional stability (rather than alongside mohair's smooth halo fibres as in the W5131); the wool and acrylic components are complementary: wool provides crimp and thermal performance; acrylic provides surface consistency and washing stability
• Gauge 3 stitch architecture without mohair halo — a different visual register from the W5131: At gauge 3, the stitch structure is large and architecturally visible; in the 4K W5131 (mohair at 30%), the mohair halo softens the gauge 3 stitch architecture into a cloud surface — the individual stitches are blurred by the extending mohair fibres; in the 4K W5130 (acrylic at 30%), there is no halo; the gauge 3 stitch architecture is the primary surface character — the individual stitches are clearly defined, the yarn's surface is smooth and consistent, and the perforated openwork pattern reads with clean, defined openings rather than halo-softened edges; the W5130 reads as a structured open-stitch knitwear; the W5131 reads as a cloud-surface knitwear; both are gauge 3, but the surface character is determined by the third fibre (acrylic vs mohair) rather than by the gauge or the structural fibres (wool, polyamide)
• Perforated openwork at gauge 3 — cleaner pattern definition than in the W5131: In the W5130, the perforated openwork pattern within the gauge 3 base knit reads with sharper definition than in the W5131: the acrylic component's smooth surface does not halo across the perforation edges; the openings in the W5130's openwork pattern are visually clean and architecturally defined; the pattern is the dominant surface feature, with the gauge 3 stitch structure as the background; this is a design-legible openwork pattern rather than a halo-softened texture
• Asymmetric design — LA HAINE INSIDE US avant-garde silhouette: The 4K W5130's asymmetric design creates an intentional structural imbalance — different hem lengths or opening treatments on the left and right sides; the asymmetric cut in a gauge 3 oversized knitwear at 0.6kg means the heavier weight of the knit reinforces the asymmetric hang — the fabric falls with the drape weight of 0.6kg, and the asymmetric hem's longer side hangs lower from its own weight, making the asymmetric silhouette more pronounced in wear than in a lighter knitwear
• XS-S / M-L banded sizing — two sizes for an oversized piece: The W5130 sizes in two bands: XS-S covers body sizes XS and S within the one garment size; M-L covers M and L; this banded sizing is appropriate for a heavily oversized asymmetric knitwear where the garment's substantial ease means that the same cut reads as oversized on both XS and S bodies, and similarly on both M and L bodies; buyers size to their actual body size and select the band that covers it
• Grey and black colourways — same product, two options: The 4K W5130 is available in grey and black; both colourways are in the same product with colour as a variant option; grey in a wool-acrylic gauge 3 knit reads as a textured warm grey, the stitch architecture visible in the grey yarn's surface; black reads as the deepest version of the same stitch architecture; without mohair halo, both colourways read with their intrinsic yarn colour rather than a lustre-modified version of that colour

The Moment You Put It On

The 4K W5130 at 0.6kg is immediately distinct from the lighter tops in the range: the gauge 3 wool-acrylic-polyamide knit has physical weight and presence, the open stitch structure visible and tangible at the hand. The acrylic component's smooth surface means there is no halo extension — the gauge 3 stitches read cleanly, the perforated openwork pattern's openings defined and architectural. The asymmetric hem's longer side hangs with the knit's 0.6kg weight, the drape emphasising the designed imbalance of the silhouette; the shorter side sits above, and the length differential between left and right is a constant visual fact of the W5130 in wear. The wool's crimp within the gauge 3 structure provides elastic recovery: when the oversized knitwear is put on and the body fills the substantial ease, the stitch structure stretches slightly through the torso and the wool's crimp holds the gauge 3 loops in elastic tension rather than allowing permanent elongation. In grey, the wool-acrylic surface reads as a textured warm grey with visible stitch architecture; in black, as a deep structured knit with clean openwork definition.

The Art of Gauge 3 in Wool-Acrylic-Polyamide

The 4K W5130 and 4K W5131 are LA HAINE INSIDE US's two gauge 3 oversized knitwear pieces in the FW25/26 range at TEPHRA. Their shared structural specification — gauge 3, 40% polyamide, asymmetric design, perforated openwork — confirms these construction choices as deliberate standards for the construction category. The difference is in the third fibre: mohair in the W5131 (30%), acrylic in the W5130 (30%). This single fibre substitution changes the garment's entire surface character: mohair produces halo and lustre, softening the gauge 3 architecture into a cloud surface; acrylic produces smoothness and consistency, allowing the gauge 3 architecture to be the surface's primary character. The W5131 is read through its mohair halo; the W5130 is read through its stitch structure and openwork pattern. Both require the 40% polyamide for structural integrity at gauge 3 oversized dimensions; both use the 30% wool for crimp recovery and thermal performance. The construction is shared; the aesthetic outcome is distinct. LA HAINE INSIDE US Italian avant-garde knitwear. Made in Italy.

How to Wear It

• Over a fitted black base layer — stitch architecture as the outer surface: The 4K W5130 over a fitted black top (the W TS 60326 black viscose top or a ribbed base layer); without mohair halo, the gauge 3 stitch structure and openwork pattern are the visual outer layer; the inner black layer visible through the perforations and the open gauge 3 stitches; the contrast between the knitwear's structured openwork surface and the smooth black inner reads as a texture-layering within a tonal palette
• Grey colourway above black lower body: W5130 grey above black trousers or skirt — the grey gauge 3 stitch texture above a black lower body; the asymmetric hem's variable length above the black lower reads as a designed irregular border; the openwork perforations allow the black trousers or skirt to read through the knitwear's lower hem zone
• Black colourway as tonal total-black: W5130 black above black lower body — the gauge 3 stitch architecture and openwork perforations create surface texture within an all-black tonal look; the openwork's defined openings read as a pattern within the black surface rather than as colour contrast; a structural, texture-forward total-black look
• As a contrast piece to the W5131 mohair cardigan: Wearing the W5130 (structured, halo-free gauge 3) and the W5131 (cloud-surface, halo-forward gauge 3) in the same look expresses the range's material contrast logic: two gauge 3 pieces in the same construction category with fundamentally different surface characters, layered or contrasted as a material-literacy statement within LA HAINE INSIDE US's FW25/26 knitwear range

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on delicate cycle or hand wash cold — the 30% acrylic component is dimensionally stable through machine washing (acrylic does not absorb water or change dimensions when wet); however, the 30% wool requires cold water and minimal agitation to prevent felting; cold delicate cycle with wool-safe detergent is appropriate; a mesh laundry bag reduces mechanical contact between the knitwear and the machine drum
• Use wool-safe detergent — the 30% wool requires a detergent without protease enzymes; standard detergents can degrade wool protein fibres through repeated washing
• Do not wring — press excess water out gently; the gauge 3 open stitch structure can distort permanently under wring stress when wet
• Lay flat to dry — the 30% wool has lower wet strength; laying flat prevents permanent elongation under the wet knitwear's 0.6kg weight; reshape the asymmetric hem and overall dimensions before drying
• Do not tumble dry — the wool content will felt under tumble dryer heat; the acrylic and polyamide are heat-resistant but the wool is not; air dry only
• Store folded — the gauge 3 knit's 0.6kg weight will cause permanent shoulder distortion on a hanger; store flat-folded
• Do not bleach. Iron on lowest heat through pressing cloth if needed.
