Knitwear Sale
Mens knitwear sale
Mens knitwear sale at Hackett London: jumpers, cardigans and roll-necks in extrafine merino wool, cotton and cashmere blends — pieces built to last that work as a single layer or under a blazer and improve with every season of wear.
Knitwear fabrics: merino wool and cashmere
The mens knitwear sale at Hackett London works primarily with extrafine merino wool — micronage below 18.5 microns — in the higher-grade jumpers, and with wool-cotton blends in the highest-rotation models. Extrafine merino does not itch at direct skin contact, making it suitable for wearing over a shirt or directly over a t-shirt without a layer in between. Cashmere-wool cardigans — generally in a 10% cashmere, 90% wool ratio — have a softer surface and a more muted sheen than pure wool, with a fall that improves with wear. Weight ranges from 200 to 280 g/m² depending on the model.
The knit is plain jersey on solid-colour models and jacquard on graphic or textured models. Both have strong elastic recovery and don't form elbow bags in regular wear.
Cuts and styles of Hackett knitwear in sale
The Hackett mens knitwear sale covers four main silhouettes: the crew-neck jumper — the most versatile, under a blazer or alone —, the V-neck jumper — ideal over a shirt with or without a tie —, the fully buttoned cardigan and the roll-neck. The last of these — with a double fold that doesn't constrict — is a piece that Hackett London has worked since its first collections as an alternative to a tie in appropriate contexts. Two suggestions:
Dark grey V-neck jumper over a blue Oxford shirt, tobacco chino and brown derby: the working week look that holds its own from morning to evening, with or without a blazer.
Camel wool cardigan over a white t-shirt, black technical wool jogger and suede loafer: the weekend register with more warmth and presence than a standard sweatshirt.
How to care for Hackett wool jumpers and cardigans
The Hackett mens knitwear in merino wool can be hand-washed in cold water with a gentle wool detergent or machine washed at 30°C on a wool cycle without spin. Dry flat on an absorbent surface: the weight of the damp fabric pulls on the shoulder seams if hung. Between wears, store folded — never on a hanger — to prevent the shoulder seams from stretching over time.
Does Hackett knitwear itch?
Hackett jumpers in extrafine merino wool (micronage below 18.5 microns) do not itch at direct skin contact for the great majority of people. Itching in wool is caused by coarser fibres, not by extrafine merino. Cashmere-blend models have an even softer surface. For those with a known sensitivity to wool, the cotton and modal models are the alternative.
How do you stop Hackett jumpers from pilling?
Pilling in wool jumpers is most frequent in the first weeks of wear and decreases over time. Washing inside out in the first few washes reduces pilling. A fabric shaver — not a lint roller — removes accumulated bobbling without damaging the fibres. Storing in a breathable cloth bag prevents the jumper from picking up lint from other fabrics.
How long does a Hackett merino wool jumper last?
A jumper from the mens knitwear sale Hackett in extrafine merino wool, properly washed and stored folded between wears, is built to last more than five years under normal use. Merino wool has a resistance to wear significantly higher than cotton in knitwear and develops a growing softness with wear that synthetic fibres cannot replicate.
