A turtleneck cut loose rather than close, so it falls away from the body instead of following it, with a collar that stands soft and slouches at the neck rather than gripping the throat. It's knitted in a heavy rib that runs unbroken from the hem right up through the neck, and the sleeves are raglan, which keeps the shoulder line easy and lets the whole thing drape.
It's made from a blend of 40% Better Cotton Initiative cotton and 60% recycled content: offcuts from weaving and knitting mills, post-consumer clothing and recycled plastic bottles, spun back into yarn rather than thrown out. It's knitted in small batches in a family-owned factory in Tuscany. There's real weight in the rib, which is where the warmth comes from.
Wear it with straight jeans and boots, or with charcoal or grey trousers and derbies for something cleaner. Under a pea coat or a bomber it works as a heavy mid-layer through winter, the collar sitting above the lapel. In charcoal it takes almost anything, so what you put with it leads.
