The jumper is where most men’s wardrobes could stand the most improvement for the least money because a good knit in the right colour and fabric is one of the hardest working pieces you own and yet most men are tolerating mediocre ones that pill after three washes and lose their shape by January. Merino wool is the fabric we’d point anyone towards first because it’s warm without being heavy manages temperature remarkably well is usually machine washable at a low temperature and doesn’t itch in the way that coarser wools do. A crew neck or v neck in a mid gauge merino in navy grey or camel is the version we’d build around because it goes with everything. Over a shirt for something smarter. Over a tee for casual days. Under a coat for warmth. Getting two or three good jumpers right is more valuable than having a dozen average ones.
