Ask the MB: Shawl Collar Sweaters

Ask the MB: Shawl Collar Sweaters
Q: A sweater with a shawl collar: a fleeting trend or an MB wardrobe staple?
--Wadie


A: The shawl-collar sweater doesn't quite reach the high "wardrobe staple" bar, but in 1968's Bullitt Steve McQueen definitively made it more than a "fleeting trend." Wear with confidence this year, and next.

  • 1 part Pimm's No. 1 Cup
  • 1 part sweet vermouth
  • 1 part dry vermouth
  • 2 dashes of orange bitters

Quick shake or stir and pour into chilled Martini glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
