OVERVIEW

The Brighton is Tracksmith's winter Runner — an engineered merino mesh in 52% wool, Woolmark-certified, with an open knit through the core for breathability and a closed knit through the sleeves for warmth. Offset neck seam so it disappears under a jacket collar, thumb loops to bridge the gap to a glove, embroidered hare at the chest. Named for Brighton, where the Charles bends cold in January. A base layer on its own in shoulder season, and the first layer under a shell when the temperature drops. Offered in Ivory and Navy. Woolmark certification is rare on this side of the technical apparel world, and the open-knit-core / closed-knit-sleeve construction is a genuine fabric-engineering point, not marketing language.

MATERIALS & CARE

Designed in Boston. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Lay flat to dry, do not tumble dry, bleach, or dry clean. Merino is naturally odor-resistant, so rewear between washes rather than over-laundering the wool. A garment bag protects the weave during wash. Follow the care label on the garment for the last word.
