Stylish and comfy

A superb colour, great fit and so comfortable

I recently ordered two 100% Merino Wool Roll Neck Jumpers (model Treath) from Oliver Sweeney, taking advantage of a 35% discount. The original price was 129 GBP (182 EUR) per jumper.Delivery to the EU was quite fast and smooth by DHL. Though the price for each garment was about 20-30 EUR higher than in GBP.Fabric Quality:The fabric, stated to be from the Zegna Baruffa Mill, is quite fine and feels sturdy and a bit harder compared to other merino knitwear I own in the same price range or even lower. While the fabric quality appears decent, only time will tell how well it holds up with wear. That said, I prefer softer merino wool, which makes this fabric feel just "good" rather than exceptional.Fit and Design:One of the highlights is the fit - size M is perfect for tall individuals like me (190 cm) with long arms. The slim shape and overall proportions are well-executed, and the longer sleeves are a big plus.Finishing and Labeling Issues:Unfortunately, the finishing quality leaves much to be desired:- Loose threads are present on every second hem (bottom, cuffs, neck), which is unacceptable at this price point.- The sewn-in labels (at the center back and inside side seam) are made of itchy, plastic-like material. This cheapens the experience and makes the garment uncomfortable to wear without modification.- Removing the labels is unnecessarily difficult. While the care label was easy to remove, the brand logo label on the side seam was sewn into the main seam and had very sharp edges, making it unbearable to wear. Removing it without damaging the garment was quite a challenge.Final Thoughts:I decided to keep the rollnecks because of their good fit and long sleeves, which are rare to find. After removing all the labels and fixing the loose threads, the pieces became wearable. However, the lack of attention to detail in finishing, the itchy and poorly attached labels, and the omission of the garment's country of origin on the label reflect negatively on the overall experience.For now, I’d rate these jumpers a 3.5 out of 5 but round it up to 4 stars in the hope that Oliver Sweeney will address these minor yet important issues. With better finishing and more thoughtful label design, these garments could be truly outstanding.

Just bought this in the sale. Top quality as always from OS. Looks even better on. Only down side is that it’s been further reduced in price since I ordered the item, hence only four stars

Got an email ten days ago saying it had been dispatched but according to Royal email, they have not received it!

Update - got it and worth the wait!

Great fit and amazing quality paired with grey Pamela trousers
