Protect your neck this winter with turtleneck jumpers
Turtleneck jumpers can also be known as a skivvy or a roll neck, and they're a must-have for man modern men's wardrobes. They're called turtlenecks because they have a high rolled collar, which makes the head look a bit like a turtle as it pops out the top.
Turtlenecks have been worn since at least the 1400s, and for centuries they were seen on sailors or working-class men. They generally were not something an aristocrat would wear back in the day, and they didn't really come into true fashion until the 1920s. In the 1980s, turtlenecks hit the big time, particularly when paired with acid wash jeans or leather pants. And like many good fashion trends of the latter part of the 20th Century, they're making a comeback. And eBay is where you can find them.
Features of a men's turtleneck jumper
Aside from the high-rolled collar that turns down and covers most of the neck, turtle neck jumpers are also known to be slim fitting, so they're cosy enough for you to wear under your favourite men's winter jacket. The neck is generally made from a ribbed knit, while the body of the shirt is usually solid knit. This can allow for more breathability and flexibility around the neck.
There are fine versions, which are usually made from merino wool or cotton, mid-weight, which is often a thicker style cotton or cashmere design, and heavy – the ideal winter solution with a heavy wool knit.
There are plenty of popular brands available on eBay including Ralph Lauren and H&M, and a full range of sizes from S right up to 4XL.
