A grown man may need to spend more time in the city than the forest, but this classic design brings an outdoor vibe to the urban jungle. Downtown Pullover is one of the few designs in the book that truly was just upsized from the original version, Grove. From the stand-up collar to the leather patches, it is hardy, wearable and perfect for the guy who considers cables or colorwork to be fussy.
