About the brand

The Elder Statesman is a luxury lifestyle brand founded in 2007 by Greg Chait in Los Angeles. The brand's origin story traces back to a cashmere blanket Chait received as a gift, which inspired him to create his own line of high-quality cashmere products. Starting with handcrafted blankets, the brand has evolved into a full lifestyle label encompassing men's and women's clothing, accessories, and home goods. Known for its impeccable craftsmanship and artisan methods, The Elder Statesman operates from its own factory in downtown Los Angeles, using vintage Japanese handlooms and employing skilled knitters, weavers, and dyers. Each piece is unique, reflecting the brand's commitment to human skill and traditional techniques. The brand embodies a laid-back Californian aesthetic with whimsical elements, featuring tie-dye patterns and spiritual imagery. With cashmere sweaters starting at $695, The Elder Statesman represents quiet luxury and soulful craftsmanship, sold at prestigious retailers worldwide including Bergdorf Goodman and Mr Porter.

The Elder Statesman is my favorite. Expensive, but prior season or pre-owned can make it attainable and it's exceptional stuff.
