Collection: Crew neck sweaters for men

The Story of the Crew Neck Sweater

Crew neck sweaters for men have been an essential part of the male wardrobe for generations. Originally popular among fishermen and workers in 19th century England, the sweater – or ‘pullover’ – was made popular by the practical warmth of the knitted fabric. Around the middle of the 20th century, the crew neck sweater made its debut in men’s fashion, first as a sporty knit and later as a stylish everyday garment. The simplicity of the crew neck, without buttons or a turtleneck, made it universally beloved. Today, the crew neck sweater for men is considered the epitome of a classic that never goes out of style, both in casual combinations and under a blazer or jacket.

Materials, colours and fits

The success of crew neck sweaters is not only due to their timeless design, but especially to the versatility of materials and finishes. Modern men can choose from a wide range of fabrics, from airy merino wool and sturdy lambswool to supple cotton or soft cashmere. Merino wool is known for its breathability and temperature regulation, making the sweater comfortable to wear in both spring and winter. Cotton crew neck sweaters offer coolness on warmer days. The color palette ranges from classic navy, gray and anthracite to contemporary shades such as olive green and pastel.
