I have a beautiful teal blue wool/cashmere blend zip-up hoodie that's starting to show its age that I bought years ago at a big retail chain (like Devred or Jules or Celio). Unfortunately, this model isn't made anymore. It's a shame because it's the perfect mix of chic (cashmere sweater) and casual (zip-up hoodie).

Do you know any brand that makes affordable knitwear hoodies?

Thanks!

Varusteleka. Alpa for alpaca wool, no zipper, more colourful options, more expensive.

I've got a few pieces from them, and they really are worth the praise IMHO.
