Influenced by a Gieves V-neck hand-knitted cricket jumper held in the Westminster Menswear Archive, it examines the symbolism of cricket apparel and its impact on perceptions of the sport, through object elicitation and personal narratives. The text draws on academic workshops, personal experiences and contextual analysis to highlight ongoing elitism in cricket.
