Mens Knitwear

Shop merino knitwear for everyday wear

Merino men's knitwear is always adjusting to the strange little climates of modern life. The mid-weight Merino Polo has a relaxed, straight silhouette that works alone or beneath tailoring. The Crewlo adds warmth and character through its Milano-knit collar, while the Cable Knit gives polos more texture without losing their clean line. 

For colder starts and shifting temperatures, the relaxed Merino Quarter Zip is the jumper most likely to disappear from your wardrobe to someone else’s.

Royal cashmere sweaters and cardigans

Cashmere brings a private kind of pleasure to the outward business of getting dressed. The Santiago Royal Cashmere Sweater sets substantial softness against tailored trousers and winter layers. The Royal Cashmere Cardigan changes the proposition with dense ribbing and a two-way zip, moving easily between outer layer and luxurious middle ground.

From there, the Cashmere Crew Neck keeps things simple, while the finer Cashmere Silk Superfine Crew Neck slips beneath men’s blazers without disturbing the line.

Knit blazers and jacket-weight knits

At the heavier end of men's knitwear, the distinction between knit and jacket becomes pleasantly uncertain. The Milano Blazer uses a complete Milano knit to hold its shape while retaining stretch, making it a softer substitute for tailoring. 

The slightly heavier Torino Jacket adds a short stand collar and enough structure to replace lighter jackets. The Yachtie Cable Sweater brings maritime texture to casual trousers, while the dense cotton Cormac Knit takes over when a blazer would feel like too much construction. 

Pair your knitwear with trousers and shirting

Good men's knitwear makes the rest of the wardrobe more sociable. Wear a merino polo over casual shirts when the collar wants to remain part of the conversation, or pull a crew neck on with tailored trousers for a cleaner silhouette. Finer knits sit comfortably beneath tailoring: heavier gauges belong under coats where warmth can gather without turning the whole arrangement bulky.

How to care for merino and cashmere

Treat men's knitwear gently, and it will return the favour. Cold hand wash with a mild wool detergent, following the individual care label. Reshape the garment while damp and dry flat in the shade. Before storing between seasons, clean each piece, fold it rather than hang it and consult the garment care guide for the finer points.

How should a men's knit jumper fit through the shoulders and torso?

On men's jumpers, the shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your natural shoulder. From there, the knit should lie smoothly across the chest and skim the torso without pulling or creating excess fabric.

What is the difference between merino, cashmere and cashmere-silk knits?

Merino comes from the merino sheep and is breathable, resilient and well suited to regular wear. Cashmere comes from goats and feels softer, lighter and warmer for its weight. Cashmere-silk blends cashmere with silk for a finer, smoother knit with a subtle lustre.

How should I hand-wash and store my P.Johnson knitwear?

Follow the care label, wash gently in cold water with a mild wool detergent and dry flat in the shade. Store knitwear clean, folded and protected between seasons.

Which knitwear works best for layering under a blazer or coat?

Fine merino polos and cashmere-silk crew necks sit beneath blazers. Mid-weight merino and cashmere styles work well under coats, while jacket-weight knits are better worn as the outer layer.
