What is the Westlands Mock Neck Jumper?
It's a traditional, chunky knit jumper with a timeless design that you can wear anywhere, with any outfit. Made with an RWS-certified merino wool blend, it provides optimum comfort and durability for everyday and outdoor adventures.
What is it made of?
This jumper is made with a blend of RWS-certified merino wool, OysterYarn™ (contains recycled polyester), and nylon for added durability.
Merino wool is renowned for its fantastic performance properties, being naturally soft, breathable, fast drying, and odour resistant. It's also effective at regulating temperature, keeping you warm during the winter and cooler in milder conditions, making it ideal for wearing all year round. Wool is also immensely responsible compared to newly made, conventional materials on the market and performs incredibly well. It's biodegradable, renewable, and completely natural. It doesn't use fossil fuels to produce either, unlike synthetic materials like polyester.
As mentioned, the wool used in this product is RWS-certified. The RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certification helps improve animal welfare whilst preserving and protecting land health by assessing the welfare of the sheep that the wool came from and the land they graze on. The RWS also requires all parties, from farmer to seller, to meet the standard, leaving no stone unturned to offer complete transparency.
OysterYarn™ is made from a combination of pulverised oyster shells diverted from Taiwanese landfills, and recycled polyester. This provides an excellent alternative to virgin synthetic materials without compromising performance, comfort, or longevity.
What are its features?
The chunky five-gauge knit in the body of this sweater is lofty and warm. It features a mixture of knit styles to create a distinctive yet subtle look, and is neatly finished with a classic ribbed neck, hem and cuffs.
