In the 1980s, Benetton sold the world colour. Starting from a family knitwear business in Treviso, it turned bright, bold sweaters into an international language, and this crewneck is that language at full volume. Royal blue wool carries bands of geometric jacquard in sun yellow, hot pink and cream, broken by a single dark stripe across the chest, with a looser stone-and-blue pattern running down both sleeves. The label reads "Made in Italy" above the green Benetton script, with a small tricolour and the line "Styled in Europe." That's the look of the brand at its height, before "United Colors" became the name. The knit is substantial and the colours are still vivid.
