Men's knitwear in the sale

Men's knitwear in the Hackett London sale brings together jumpers, cardigans and layering pieces in merino wool, cashmere and technical blends that fill the space between a t-shirt and a blazer with more character than any other category.

Fibres and construction in Hackett knitwear

Hackett's men's knitwear works primarily with double-twist merino wool in weights between 200 and 280 g/m². The double twist produces a fibre more resistant to pilling than standard merino, with better elastic recovery after repeated wear: the jumper returns to its original shape more readily than a single-twist equivalent. Cashmere models use two-ply fibre — softer and warmer than single-ply — at a lower weight for the same volume, making them the ideal choice for layering under a blazer. The neck construction is the defining detail: the crew neck is the most versatile; the V-neck allows a tie to be worn without the knitwear competing with the shirt collar; the roll neck or polo neck reduces the need for an outer coat.

Available models in Hackett knitwear sale

Hackett's men's knitwear in the sale includes crew-neck and V-neck jumpers, button and zip cardigans, and higher-volume pieces such as cable-knit and chunky-knit jumpers. Cardigans are the most functional piece: they allow temperature to be adjusted through the day and work equally well as a layer under a blazer or as the main piece over a shirt. The cable-knit jumper in high-density cotton is the most recognisable model in Hackett's casual collection — more relaxed than merino but with stronger visual character.

Two ways to wear knitwear from the selection:

Marl-grey merino crew-neck jumper under a navy wool blazer, with a white shirt visible at the collar: the layer that adds warmth without the outfit losing its structure.
Camel merino cardigan over a small-check shirt, with a mid-rise chino and leather loafer: weekend casual with more intention than a polo shirt.

How do I wash a Hackett merino jumper without it shrinking?

Hand-wash in cold water with a specialist wool detergent, or machine-wash on a wool programme at a maximum of 30°C. Spin very gently or without spinning: wet wool loses its shape when subjected to high centrifugal force. Dry flat on a level surface — never hanging: the weight of the wet fabric stretches the shoulder seams irreversibly. No tumble dryer under any circumstances.

Does Hackett knitwear itch?

Hackett merino uses fibres between 17 and 19 microns in diameter — below the itch threshold perceptible to most skin types. Cashmere models are finer and softer still. Those with high wool sensitivity may notice slight irritation at the neck and wrists; the most common solution is to wear a cotton t-shirt underneath.
