The verdict
Fit
Guernsey cuts tend looser than contemporary office knitwear; this one likely offers relaxed shoulders and a boxier body. Size up if you prefer closer fits.
Quality
The 52% cotton blend adds breathing room and reduces care burden compared to pure wool. Guernsey construction is sturdy; typical Turnbull & Asser craftsmanship suggests good seaming and button closure longevity.
Is the price fair?
At 375 USD for a blended jumper, you're at premium pricing for a heritage shape. Fair value if you want relaxed tailoring and texture; overpriced if you expect the finesse of pure cashmere.
Best for
Casual-leaning wearers and collectors of heritage knitwear who appreciate looser, roomier fits and don't need city-business precision.
Care
Cotton blend tolerates warmer water and machine wash better than pure wool; still lay flat to dry to preserve the loose fit.
What owners report about Turnbull & Asser sweaters
Genuine third-party coverage of Turnbull & Asser's knitwear is sparse and lives almost entirely on menswear forums, but what exists is positive: Styleforum members rate the cashmere sweaters as very good quality and note the knitwear is produced by a specialist Scottish cashmere mill. One owner reports his piece shows no signs of problems, while cautioning he hasn't put many miles on it yet. Owners consistently treat full retail as expensive and say the value case is strongest during the brand's seasonal sales, when they report substantial markdowns.
- Strengths
- Scottish-milled cashmere that the owner reports available consistently rate as very good quality.
- Watch out for
- High full-retail pricing is the main caution — forum members advise waiting for seasonal sales — and long-term durability reports are scarce.
