Product details+

Thin where most winter knitwear is thick. The Alderley is a fine-gauge wool knit with a half-turtleneck collar, cut for the months either side of winter and for layering under a coat where a heavy knit would crowd the shoulder.

Close to the body without being tight, it drapes rather than stands, which is why it sits so well under tailoring. Regular length, roughly 50 to 65 cm through the body by size.

  • Half-turtleneck collar
  • Fine-gauge wool knit
  • Ribbed hem and cuffs
  • Pullover, no closures
  • Close, layer-friendly fit
  • No logos, no visible branding

Cream, Navy, Olive, Black, Grey, Camel, Charcoal, Plum

What does fine-gauge mean in a wool sweater?

The knit is made on a fine needle with thin yarn, giving more stitches per centimeter and a smoother, thinner fabric. It drapes under a jacket, where a chunky knit adds bulk at the shoulder and armhole.

Is a thin wool sweater warm enough for winter?

On its own in deep cold, no. Under a coat, yes, and often better than a thick knit: the coat blocks the wind and the thin knit leaves room for a layer beneath.

Didn’t expect much at the price but it looks twice what I paid. Wore it to a work dinner and three people asked where it was from.

Fits properly and doesn’t cling in the heat. I’m 28 but always got mistaken for a student — not in this.

Fine wool, close to the body.
The cloth

Fine wool, close to the body.

A fine-gauge wool knit with a smooth, even surface. Thin enough to sit under a blazer or coat without bulk, warm enough to wear alone on a cool day.

Close, not tight.
The cut

Close, not tight.

Shaped close to the body with a half-turtleneck that frames the face. The line stays clean under tailoring, which is exactly where this sweater earns its place.

Quiet, even finish.
The make

Quiet, even finish.

Ribbed cuffs, hem and collar hold their shape. Eight colors, from cream to plum, all with the same restrained surface and no branding.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear it under a blazer?+

Yes. That is what it is cut for. The fine gauge sits flat under a jacket and the mock neck replaces a shirt and tie for a sharper, quieter look.

How does it fit?+

Close to the body without clinging. Take your usual size. If you want room for a shirt underneath, go one size up.

Is it itchy?+

Fine-gauge wool is softer than chunky knits. If your skin is sensitive, wear a thin tee underneath.

How do I care for it?+

Hand wash cold or use a wool cycle, then dry flat. Fold it rather than hanging it.

When will it arrive?+

Dispatched within 24 hours with tracking sent by email. Typically about 7 days, up to 10 for some countries. Shipping is free on every order.

Can I exchange for another size?+

Yes — free exchanges within 30 days of delivery. If the fit is not right, we will make it right.

Is there a discount for buying more than one?+

Yes. The pair and the wardrobe sets save you 10%, applied automatically at checkout.

Is checkout secure?+

Every payment is encrypted, with Shop Pay, PayPal and Apple Pay supported for a faster, safe checkout.
