The verdict
Fit
John Elliott's crew necks sit modern and slightly loose through the body. The wheat color is warm and versatile; size true for a relaxed fit or size down for a closer silhouette.
Quality
Waffle knit wool from John Elliott should have good stitch definition and weight, designed to develop patina over seasons of wear.
Is the price fair?
At $398, the pricing reflects both wool quality and John Elliott's brand positioning. A fair price for a piece built to last.
Best for
Men who want a textured, warm sweater that pairs easily with both jeans and more polished trousers.
Care
Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry; avoid excessive agitation to preserve the waffle texture.
What owners report about John Elliott sweaters
