Eton is branching out beyond shirts and introducing knitwear as part of its fall collection.

The pieces were created by knitters in Venice — a region known for its classic knitwear — and each is made from RWS-certified merino wool.

The collection features three styles: a classic crewneck, a polo shirt and a quarter-zip pullover. Each of the pieces is available in seasonal fall colors of forest green, navy blue, oxblood red, beige and black.

The three-button polo and quarter-zip feature a slightly thicker 14-gauge knit, while the lighter 18-gauge knit is used for the crewneck.
