Verified claims
- materials
- 48% alpaca, 30% polyamide (nylon), 20% wool, 2% elastane
- materials
- Nylon and elastane are what keep a loose knit from sagging
- comfort
- Soft enough for most people to wear against bare skin at the V-neck
- material
- Brushed, fuzzy knit with a visible halo across the body and sleeves
- performance
- A dense but light mid-weight knit, made for layering rather than deep winter
- fit
- Cut oversized on purpose — take your usual size
- fit
- Sizing down tightens the arm opening and can bunch under the arm
- construction
- Drop shoulders move the hang from the shoulders onto the body
- fit
- Hip-length and boxy, but it can read slightly cropped on a longer torso
- design
- Shallow-to-moderate V-neck finished with ribbed edging
- construction
- Signature knit line runs down the centre back
- construction
- Ribbed cuffs and hem, with a deliberately uneven, minimally finished hem edge
- care
- Hand wash cold, do not bleach, do not tumble dry; professional cleaning is also listed
- care
- Reshape and dry flat, and store folded rather than hung
- durability
- The brushed nap is the wear point; the nylon share supports longevity
- colour
- Black is the only colourway offered
- styling
- Logo-free, monochrome knit that layers easily
- uses
- Works over a base layer and under a coat, thanks to the loose body and deep V
- performance
- Alpaca resists water and wicks moisture, so small spills can be blotted before they soak in
- value
- Designer pricing for an alpaca-dominant knit made in Italy
- sizing
- The run stops at MEDIUM, so larger shoppers can't simply size up

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Tommy Alpaca Wool Blend V-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a luxurious brushed alpaca wool-blend knit (48 percent alpaca, 30 percent polyamide, 20 percent wool, 2 percent elastane) with a soft, slightly fluffy hand in a dense but light knit. It has an oversized, loose fit that is hip length with dropped shoulders, long sleeves and a ribbed V-neck and hem, and it is made in Italy. Note it comes only in Milk or Black colorways, so pick it if one of those suits your wardrobe.[1,2] | 100% Virgin Wool V-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a lightweight, fine-knit V-neck pullover made entirely of soft virgin wool and made in Italy. Its slim cut, ribbed hem and cuffs, and raw-finish neckline with vertical back seaming suit minimal, layered styling. Note that the fine knit appears slightly sheer when stretched, and the fit may read slim by specification yet relaxed on some wearers.[3,4,5] | Temple Pure Virgin Wool Openwork Sweater: Choose this if you want a fine 100% virgin wool knit in Rick Owens' signature aesthetic, made in Italy with a fitted silhouette, slim sleeves, wide ribbed hem, and a dramatic horizontal oval cutout at the chest. Note that the thin openwork knit is slightly sheer, so skin tone and underlayers can be subtly visible through the fabric, and it wears cropped to the waist on the photographed model.[6,7,8] |
