The verdict
Fit
Honeycomb knit is less clingy than plain rib; expect a slightly more relaxed geometry that still sits neatly. Sunspel's crew should fit true to size with room for layering.
Quality
Honeycomb cotton is a step up visually and tactilely from plain jersey—the texture adds durability by distributing stress across the knit structure. Solid for rotation.
Is the price fair?
Fair mid-tier. The honeycomb structure and Sunspel's execution justify the price over plain cotton basics.
Best for
A man wanting more visual texture in a cotton piece that remains easygoing and requires no special care.
Care
Machine wash cold; the honeycomb structure is forgiving, so standard cotton care applies. Lay flat or tumble dry low.
What owners report about Sunspel sweaters
Editorial coverage of Sunspel's knitwear is strongly positive: a Robb Report review of the brand's British wool jumper praises how locally the wool is sourced and processed and rates the finished knit's feel highly, at an $835 list price. Buyer reviews are more mixed — some recent Trustpilot customers report the quality slipping, including a jumper arriving unclean and disappointment at a £295 price, while longer-term customers report years of purchases without issues. Forum discussion on Styleforum is generally favorable on the knits' softness but flags that the brand reworked its sizing, with newer pieces cut larger than older ones.

- Watch out for
- The most common complaints are price for what you get and reports from some recent buyers that quality control has slipped, including items arriving unclean.
- Sizing
