Regal Merino Johnny Collar Sweater
This Theory long-sleeve polo sweater is a pullover knit top made from 100% fine-gauge merino wool in a dark charcoal heather, with a regular fit, Johnny collar (a short V-shaped open front with no visible buttons), and finely ribbed cuffs and hem. It is worn as a base or mid-layer for casual and smart-casual outfits, with long sleeves reaching the wrists, a straight hem sitting at the waist, and construction that allows layering over a crew-neck undershirt. The fine, smooth knit is lightweight and slightly heathered, and the garment features visible shoulder seams and ribbed finishing at the neckline, cuffs, and waistband.

A refined knit polo for dressed-up or everyday outfits
Theory's long-sleeve Johnny collar polo is knit from soft, pure merino wool for a delicate feel. The retailer positions it as a versatile piece from the fall collection that works for both polished and casual looks.[3]
Garment Maintenance
To maintain the sweater, avoid washing, bleaching, and tumble drying. It should be dry cleaned with any solvent except trichloroethylene and may be cool ironed if needed.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Regal Merino Johnny Collar Sweater: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve Johnny collar pullover in a fine-gauge, ultra-soft knit of 100% merino wool from Australia, spun and knit in Italy. It has a standard straight fit with long sleeves and regular length, and the brand advises it runs true to size, so pick your normal size; it comes in Charcoal in medium, large, and extra-large. Note that care is dry clean only—it should not be washed, bleached, or tumble dried—which matters if you prefer machine-washable knits.[2,3] | Myhlo Textured Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a solid-color, 100% cotton crewneck with a bird's-eye texture the merchant says lends casual elegance, in a regular fit with a straight, slightly boxy silhouette. It features a crew neck with an over-seamed V detail, ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, and long sleeves; the medium measures about 30.5 inches from shoulder to hem and the model wears a relaxed fit. It comes in a dark navy (shown) or black colorway from Theory's spring collection in sizes small through extra large.[4,5,6,7,8] | Soris Cable-Knit Polo: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve knit polo with a raised cable texture: it's a 100% cotton regular-fit style with a two-button placket, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, offered in green and blue in sizes small to x-large. Note the solid muted green shown is just one option, and the loose drape seen on the model was observed on one body, so fit may vary.[9,10,11,12] |
