Men’s Jumper Guide
If you’re a man—especially a British man—and you don’t cherish your winter jumper collection as you would your own children, then what are you even doing? At this time of year, winter jumpers are man’s best friend, and so you’d better make sure your collection is topped-up and ready to go. This is your guide to which jumpers to include in your winter wardrobe rotation. We’re gonna have you looking better than that irritating little bowl-cut kid’s new dad in The Santa Clause when Tim Allen accidentally kills Saint Nick and becomes the big guy himself.
What are the best jumper brands?
Do you mean aside from Percival? Because, honestly and realistically, we’re the best jumper brand. Although, if it’s sweatshirts you’re after, Champion have been wearing that particular crown for quite some time. Luckily, we recognise greatness and locked in a sweatshirt and hoodie collab with the leisurewear goats.
What jumpers are in fashion for winter?
The classics will never go out of fashion—your cable knits, your fisherman’s jumpers etc. They’re safe bets. How about we walk you through five jumpers and sweaters that are putting the ‘in’ in ‘winter’ this season?
Are hoodies and jumpers the same?
Ah, the age-old pub debate: hoodie versus jumper. Same family, different personalities. A jumper is the clean-cut older brother – neat, dependable, looks good meeting the in-laws. A hoodie’s the cheeky younger sibling – laid-back, always up for a pint, insists on bringing the tunes. Both keep you warm, both play well with jeans and trainers, but the hood and pocket combo makes the hoodie more streetwise, while the jumper leans sharper, more versatile. Not the same, but you’ll want both hanging about. Think of them as Batman and Robin – you don’t really pick one, you let them tag-team your wardrobe.
The 5 Best Jumpers & Sweaters for Winter
1. Raglan Crew Neck
Featuring the classic heavy-knit, ribbed texture, and timeless crewneck, the Raglan Crew Neck is available in three different colours that will get you through the bleak midwinter. This one has never been out of fashion, likely never will be, and is still in fashion today. A real essential of any man’s winter wardrobe.
2. Two Toned Picnic Polo Jumper
Part jumper, part polo, all charm. The Two Toned Picnic Polo is the knit that refuses to pick one lane. Ribbed texture for warmth, contrast collar for flair, and a fit that says I care, but not too much. It’s smart enough for the office, casual enough for the pub, and just stylish enough to make strangers ask where you got it. Spoiler: you’ll say “Percival” with a smug grin.
3. Turtle Neck
The turtleneck: equal parts poet, Bond villain, and Steve Jobs keynote. Warm enough to dodge the scarf, sleek enough to slide under a blazer, and dramatic enough to make ordering a flat white feel like performance art. Ours comes in premium wool blends, soft against the skin, never itchy, always iconic. Wear it once and suddenly you’ll find yourself gesturing more thoughtfully in conversations.
4. Quarter Zip Sweatshirt
Quarter zips are flying right now, and ours are the best money can buy. They’re classic in style but modern in design, made from premium materials, nicely ribbed and snug as the pillows at the Savoy.
5. Button Down Knit Cardigan

Jumper Care Tips
If you’re going to invest in a nice jumper collection, you’d bloody well better know how to take care of it. Follow these handy tips for looking after your jumpers.
How to hand wash a jumper?
Pop your jumper in some tepid or even cold water with a small amount of wool-safe detergent. Give it a little swish around and let it soak for ten minutes or so. Avoid hot temperatures as this can cause shrinkage in knitwear, and avoid harsh chemicals and detergents as they can damage the quality of certain knitwear materials like wool and mohair.
How to dry a jumper?
Remove your jumper from the water, DO NOT wring it dry and DO NOT scrunch it. This can cause deformity to the shape of your jumper. Also avoid hanging your jumper up to dry as this can cause stretching. Simply lay your jumper flat on a dry towel and let it dry naturally. Job’s a good one.
