Truss Merino Tank and Skirt Set

Both pieces are knitted at 16-gauge in extra-fine merino, dense enough at the skirt to be opaque over the seat without a lining, and the tank is knitted with a self-finished scoop neck and armhole rather than a bound edge, so there is no ripple after washing. The skirt is straight and ends just below the knee, with a covered elastic waistband set into a knitted facing that keeps the line flat under a blazer instead of gathering at the hip. Merino is here for practical reasons: it comes out of a carry-on unmarked, it does not hold the smell of a day in air conditioning, and this yarn is treated for the machine's wool cycle. Wear the two together under a trench in July, then split them, the tank under the Beam blazer and the skirt with a shirt, and it reads as three outfits on a five-day work trip.

• The set: a sleeveless fine-gauge knit tank and a straight knit skirt to the knee
• Fabric: 100% extra-fine merino, 16-gauge, machine washable, 260gsm knitted weight
• Care: Machine wash cold on the wool cycle with a mild wool detergent. Do not tumble dry. Reshape while damp and dry flat in shade.
• Fit: The tank is close but not clinging and ends at the hip; the skirt is straight through the hip and ends just below the knee. Take your usual size, or size down for a closer tank. Model is 176cm and wears AU 10.

We choose our cloth from long-established mills in India, where these fibres have been woven for generations, and hold every roll to the same standard before it is cut. Your piece is then made up by hand in our Australian atelier.

Wash cool and gently, dry in the shade, and press on a low heat. Silk and linen are happiest dry cleaned.
