The Nelson is made from 100% lambswool, providing natural insulation and a comfortably soft feel.
Lambswool helps retain warmth while remaining breathable, making this jumper well suited to autumn, winter and cooler spring days.
A practical half-zip fastening allows the funnel neckline to be worn open for ventilation or closed for additional warmth around the neck.
This versatile design makes the jumper easy to adapt throughout the day and allows a collared shirt to be shown underneath.
The seven-gauge knitted construction gives the Nelson a substantial feel without making it unnecessarily bulky.
It works well as a warm outer layer in mild conditions or beneath a wax jacket, quilted coat or waterproof jacket when additional protection is required.
Ribbed detailing around the collar, cuffs and hem helps create a comfortable fit and supports the jumper’s shape.
These traditional knitted finishes also provide a neat appearance around the wrists and waist.
A contrasting inner back neck introduces a subtle point of difference when the zip is worn open.
This understated detail adds character without reducing the jumper’s versatility or timeless appearance.
The regular fit provides comfortable room through the body and sleeves, making the jumper suitable for everyday wear and straightforward layering.
Choose your usual size for the intended fit, allowing additional room if you plan to wear a thicker shirt or base layer underneath.
Wear the Nelson over a checked or Oxford shirt with chinos for a polished smart-casual outfit.
For a more relaxed country look, pair it with jeans, leather boots and a wax jacket. Its understated styling also makes it suitable for work, weekends and casual social occasions.
