Knitwear

Discover men’s knitwear at Peter Jackson, from short sleeve knitted polos to long sleeve layers, crewneck jumpers and turtlenecks. The collection brings together cotton, Merino wool and selected cashmere blends, offering different textures and weights for Australian wardrobes.

Choose knitwear by fabric and silhouette

Cotton polo knits offer a lighter direction, with ribbed, striped and textured finishes. Wool-cashmere layers introduce a softer, warmer feel, while Merino turtlenecks create a clean neckline beneath tailoring. Fibre is one consideration: stitch, fabric weight, sleeve length and fit also affect how a knit feels across changing conditions.

Build a wardrobe of useful layers

Pair a short sleeve polo with chinos for relaxed days, or choose long sleeve polos for more coverage. Crewneck knits sit neatly over a shirt, while turtleneck knits provide a defined alternative for cooler weather. A textured sport jacket can complete the combination when its cut allows room for the knit.

Knitwear FAQs

Can men’s knitwear be worn in spring and summer?

Lighter cotton knits and short sleeve polos can suit milder or warmer days. Heavier wool and cashmere blends are more useful when warmth is needed. Compare the specific garment’s weight and construction rather than treating all knitwear as winter clothing.

How should a knit fit beneath a jacket?

Choose enough ease to move without the knit bunching at the shoulders or sleeves. A finer knit generally layers more easily than a bulky one. Check the garment’s size guidance and the jacket’s room through the chest and arms.

What should I compare when choosing a knit for changing seasons?

Look at fibre blend, knit density, coverage and how the piece layers. A finer polo knit and a heavier sweater can serve different conditions even within one fibre family. Choose for the actual hours outdoors and indoors instead of treating knitwear as a single winter-weight category.

How can I choose knitwear that works with both jeans and tailoring?

Start with a restrained colour, suitable proportions and a weight that works with both outfits. Compare it with jeans and your intended jacket before buying. A fine plain knit may be easier to combine than a particularly bulky texture, but the dress code remains the deciding factor.

Does cashmere content mean that a knit uses pure cashmere?

No. A blend contains cashmere alongside other fibres, and the exact composition should be checked on the individual garment. Cotton-cashmere and wool-cashmere describe different combinations. Neither the collection name nor the presence of cashmere determines the complete fabric, warmth or correct cleaning routine.

How should I choose between a crewneck and a roll-neck for a jacket?

A crewneck leaves a lower opening and can sit over a suitable shirt; a roll-neck creates a higher, more continuous line. Try the neckline with the lapels and check sleeve room. Use a woven shirt where the occasion requires traditional tie dressing.
