A men's turtleneck in pure merino wool, plain knit: wear the collar up or folded over, and under a jacket it takes the place of a shirt. The fine yarn keeps it light, so it works from early fall through winter. In cream, under a navy duffle coat with dark jeans; in black, under a leather jacket.

The yarn is a 2/48 count, and a fine one: two plies twisted together, each measuring 48,000 meters per kilogram of wool (about 23,800 yards per pound). The higher the number, the finer the thread. Twisting two plies together helps the knit hold its shape in the wash and pill less than a single ply.

Knitted in our own factory in Prato, in the Tuscan textile district, from 100% extra-fine merino wool. The wool is certified RWS – Responsible Wool Standard and the yarn is certified OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. Origin traceability certified Tfashion 100% Made in Italy, which certifies the making and not just the label.
