Supima Cotton Crewneck Sweater
About Brooks Brothers’s sweaters: Brooks Brothers knitwear is American-traditional — Supima cotton, merino and lambswool crews, cardigans and the signature Shetland in classic, conservative cuts.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Brooks Brothers anchors the American-traditional knitwear lane with Supima cotton, merino and lambswool crews and cardigans, plus its long-running Shetland, all in classic conservative cuts. Owners value the timeless styling and the quality fibres. Reviewers see it as a dependable preppy-classic knit, with the caveats that the styling is traditional rather than modern and full-price value is best caught on the brand's frequent sales. The classic cut and quality fibres are the appeal.

How Brooks Brothers sweaters hold up overall
In long-running menswear-forum threads, owners treat the merino line as the quiet strength of the range: it is called a strong value when bought on sale or at the outlet, with reports of no pilling after months of regular wear and good shape retention, and some owners say they prefer wearing the merino over the brand's cashmere because it is lighter and less fuzzy. The cashmere draws a more middling verdict — described as thick and soft but prone to pilling, and not the best relative to its full retail price, so the common advice is to wait for markdowns. Owners also flag that thinner-gauge knit pieces have not held their shape well, and some note country-of-origin shifting (e.g. wool sweaters made in China), so experience varies by sub-line. Much of this reporting comes from older forum threads, so it reflects the line's long-run reputation more than the current season.
- Strengths
- Merino regarded as a strong value on discount, with little pilling and good shape retention reported.
- Watch out for
- Cashmere pills and is judged middling at full price; thinner-gauge knits reported to lose shape; much of the owner reporting predates recent ownership changes.
