Begg x Co Yacht Cardigan, the value of a repair route.

Published 4 November 2026 · WHV

Look at the button bands and cuffs before you try the Yacht Cardigan. They are the parts you will handle repeatedly. The point of this piece is less the occasion suggested by its name than the amount of use a well-fitting layer can get across a year.

Begg x Co refers UK customers to Cashmere Circle, a specialist in the Scottish Borders. The repair partner assesses holes, stains and other problems in knitwear. Some are suitable for a nearly invisible mend. The service can also explain when a piece is beyond what it can reasonably repair.

Try the exact cut over the clothes you normally wear underneath. Ask how the colour and yarn affect a repair, and whether your address and garment qualify for the programme. If you buy second-hand, look especially closely at edges, buttonholes and any previous repair.
