Not every piece needs to be quiet. Aklanda's men's fashion knitwear is the range for when you want the jumper to do the talking - chunky cable knits, bold herringbone patterns, and textured merino pieces that hold their shape and their character wash after wash. All of it 100% Australian merino wool. All of it was made in Melbourne.
The fashion knitwear range is where Aklanda's design capability shows most clearly. Fully fashioned cable knit construction means the patterns aren't surface decoration; they are built into the structure of the garment itself, which is why they stay sharp after years of wearing. Pairs naturally with merino accessories, a scarf or beanie from the same Australian merino fibre completes the look without any effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Aklanda's cable knit sweaters different from mass-produced alternatives?
Aklanda's cable knit sweaters are fully fashioned, meaning the cable pattern is knitted directly into each shaped panel, not applied to a cut piece of fabric. This produces a structurally superior garment that holds its shape and pattern integrity over years of wear. Combined with 100% Australian merino wool, the result is a cable knit jumper that looks better and lasts longer than mass-market alternatives.
Are Aklanda's fashion knitwear pieces suitable for work as well as casual wear?
Yes. Many pieces in Aklanda's men's fashion knitwear range, particularly the herringbone designs and fine-gauge cable knits, work equally well in a business casual office setting and on weekends. The superfine Australian merino wool drapes cleanly and does not pill easily, which maintains a polished appearance. Pair with a collared shirt for office wear or wear alone for a sharper casual look.
How do I style a chunky cable knit merino sweater?
Aklanda's chunky cable knit merino sweaters are a strong standalone piece - they work best over a simple shirt or thermal underlayer, letting the texture carry the outfit. In cooler weather, layer under a wool or waxed cotton jacket. Add a merino wool scarf in a complementary colour from Aklanda's accessories range to complete the look without overcomplicating it.
