The verdict

Ted Baker's men's jumpers run tapered and modern. This ecru should size true and fit neatly; expect trim proportions through shoulders and waist.
Quality
At USD 79, Ted Baker's knit is solid and seaming is consistent. Expect reliable durability, though not premium yarn weight or softness.
Is the price fair?
USD 79 is strong value for a recognized-brand men's jumper in a versatile neutral. Fair pricing.
Best for
Men seeking a warm neutral jumper that layers well and works with both denim and chinos.
Care
Machine-wash gentle in cool water; lay flat to dry to maintain ecru tone and prevent shrinkage.
Fit check: Ted Baker
Varies by lineTed Baker's menswear tops run small and slim — owners consistently size up — while women's numbered pieces skew generous, with bottoms the most likely to run big.
Owners agree the menswear shirts and polos cut slim and small: forum posters call the shirts "on the small side and quite a slim waist," and a golf reviewer who normally wears a medium found a Ted Baker large (size 4) "perfect." The women's side is less uniform: one long-term buyer says the numbered sizing is "on the generous side" (a 3 wearing like a UK 12/14), while forum threads split — tops reported small, trousers and skirts reported big, jackets and dresses roughly true to size. The brand's own 0–7 numeric scales add friction, so checking the per-item conversion chart matters more here than with most brands.
Sizing advice: Size up one in men's shirts, polos, and tees (the cut is slim and small); on women's pieces stay true to size for dresses and jackets but consider a size down in trousers, skirts, and knits.

What owners report about Ted Baker sweaters
Owners describe the brand overall as hit and miss but single out the jumpers as one of its stronger categories — one long-time buyer who graded the range piece by piece rated jumpers excellent while calling t-shirts and polos inconsistent. Another poster's summary was that the brand is generally quite good quality, although certain items may not be as good as others. The recurring complaint is price rather than construction: forum posters call the line a little overpriced at full retail and advise buying on sale unless the fit is exactly right.
- Strengths
- Knitwear is repeatedly named the reliable part of an otherwise uneven range.
- Watch out for
- Full retail pricing — owners describe the brand as more fashionable than good value and say it only makes sense on sale.
