The verdict
Fit
Turnbull & Asser's knitwear is tailored for refinement; expect a more fitted silhouette than casual loopback pieces.
Quality
Cashmere construction befitting a Savile Row house; seaming and finishing reflect decades of shirting expertise applied to knitwear.
Is the price fair?
Premium luxury pricing. Much of the cost reflects the house's heritage and reputation rather than material alone.
Best for
Wealthy traditionalists investing in iconic British knitwear with heritage brand association.
Care
Hand wash in cool water with cashmere-specific detergent; lay flat to dry only.
What owners report about Turnbull & Asser zip-ups
There is very little direct coverage of Turnbull & Asser's zip-up range; what exists comes from menswear forum threads about the brand's cashmere knitwear more broadly. Posters there describe the Scottish-made cashmere as very durable and soft, and treat the brand as a safe pick at the top end of the market. Zip styles surface mainly as purchase reports — one forum member bought a two-ply cashmere full-zip hoodie, and only after a deep markdown from a four-figure list price. Owner reporting on fit, long-term wear, or the non-cashmere zip styles is essentially absent.
- Strengths
- Forum posters consistently rate the Scottish-spun cashmere behind the knitwear as very durable and soft.
- Watch out for
- List prices are very high — the zip-up purchases owners actually report were made on steep discount — and there is almost no owner reporting on fit or how the zip styles wear over time.
