Men's Distressed Letter Round Neck Sweater

How to measure

Use a soft cloth tape measure. You can measure directly on the body or on a comparable sweater laid flat. When measuring a garment laid flat, measure straight across and then double where indicated to get the full circumference.

1. Chest (Bust) — Body: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Garment: lay the sweater flat, measure from one armpit seam to the other (pit-to-pit) and double that number for circumference.
2. Shoulder width — Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam straight across the back. If the sweater doesn't have visible seams, measure from the point where the sleeve joins the neck edge on one side to the other.
3. Sleeve length — Two common methods:
   • From center back of neck to sleeve cuff (common for outerwear measurements).
   • From shoulder seam to sleeve cuff (common for garment flat measurements).
4. Body length — From the highest point of the shoulder (near the collar seam) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width — Lay flat and measure across the bottom hem; double for full circumference.

Quick tips: measure a well-fitting sweater of yours for reference, stand relaxed when measuring your body, and allow 2–4 cm (about 1–1.5 in) extra for a fitted knit, or 5–12 cm (2–5 in) for a relaxed/oversized fit. Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Fabric content can vary by production batch; always check the garment label for exact composition. Typical materials and what to expect:

• 100% Cotton — Soft, breathable, comfortable. Good for milder weather; may shrink slightly if washed hot.
• Cotton & Acrylic blend (e.g., 60/40) — Retains shape better than pure cotton, easier care, moderate warmth.
• Acrylic / Polyester blends — Lightweight, very easy-care, resistant to wrinkles and color fade; may pill over time.
• Wool blend — Warmer and more insulating; may require gentler washing or dry clean.
• Details & trims — Lettering, appliqués or prints may be embroidery, patch, or print; these elements can affect care (wash inside out / gentle cycle recommended).

Model & Fit

For reference: the model shown is 6'1" (about 185–186 cm) with a 39" (≈99 cm) chest and is pictured wearing a size M. This sweater is designed with a relaxed, lived-in silhouette — it generally fits true to size but will appear slightly roomier due to the distressed style.

Fit advice: choose your usual size for a regular look; size down for a closer fit; size up if you prefer an oversized or layered look.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Check the care label first — follow any specific manufacturer instructions.
• Wash inside out on a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water; use a mild detergent.
• Hand wash when in doubt, especially for natural fibers or if the sweater has appliqués/lettering.
• Avoid bleach and strong stain removers; spot-clean small stains promptly.
• Do not wring — gently press out excess water. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a clean towel to prevent stretching.
• Avoid tumble drying to preserve shape and distressing details; if you must use a dryer, use the lowest/air setting only.
• Iron on low heat if needed, using a cloth barrier to protect patches/prints; steam is often safer than direct ironing.
• Remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; carefully trim loose threads around distressed areas rather than pulling them.
• Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf — avoid hanging heavy knits to prevent shoulder distortion. Consider breathable garment bags and moth protection for long-term storage.

Style Tips

• Casual weekend: pair with slim or straight-leg jeans and white leather or canvas sneakers for a clean, lived-in look.
• Layering: wear a plain crew or long-sleeve tee underneath; add a denim or bomber jacket on top for texture contrast.
• Smart-casual: combine with tapered chinos and desert boots or Chelsea boots; choose neutral tones to balance the distressed details.
• Color pairing: neutral sweaters (black/grey/cream) go with washed denim, olive, camel or burgundy bottoms; navy works well with tan and grey.
• Accents: simple accessories like a beanie, leather-strapped watch or a slim scarf keep the look intentional without competing with the distressed lettering.
• Pro tip: keep the rest of your outfit tidy — distressed details make a statement, so let them be the focal point.
