Turtleneck Slit Sweater

How to Measure

For the most accurate measurements, lay the sweater flat on a table and smooth it without stretching. Use a soft tape measure.

1. Chest Width: Measure straight across from underarm seam to underarm seam. Double this number for the full chest.
2. Shoulder Width:
   • Set-in shoulder: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam straight across the back.
   • Drop-shoulder or no shoulder seam: Measure from high point shoulder (where the neck meets the shoulder) to the same point on the opposite side.
3. Sleeve Length:
   • Set-in shoulder: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
   • Drop-shoulder: From the high point shoulder or from where the sleeve joins the body to the end of the cuff.
4. Back Length: From the high point shoulder (base of neck) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double it.
6. Turtleneck Height: Measure from the neckline seam to the top edge when unfolded; note the height when folded once for wearing.
7. Side Slit Length: From the bottom hem up to the top of the slit opening.
8. Bicep Width (optional): Measure across the sleeve at 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole; double it.

Tip: Compare these to a similar sweater you already own. Knit garments allow for slight variations; please allow a tolerance of approximately ±1 cm (±0.4 in).

Materials & Feel

Fabric composition can vary by color or production run. Refer to the product label or details above for the exact blend. Common compositions for a turtleneck slit sweater include:

• Cotton or Cotton Blends: Breathable, soft, easy-care; ideal for transitional weather.
• Wool (Merino/Lambswool): Warmth with natural breathability and odor resistance; mid- to cool-weather ready.
• Cashmere or Cashmere Blends: Ultra-soft, lightweight warmth; more delicate, luxurious handfeel.
• Blends with Nylon/Polyester/Elastane: Added durability, shape retention, and recovery to reduce stretching out.
• Recycled Fibers (where noted): Reduced environmental impact with similar performance to virgin fibers.

Handfeel & Weight: Expect a soft, cozy knit with a relaxed drape. Side slits add ease over the hips and enhance movement. The fold-over turtleneck offers adjustable coverage and styling.

Fit & Model Info

• Silhouette: Intended to sit relaxed through the body with side slits for comfort and layering.
• Length: Designed to hit around the hip; slits reduce cling and accommodate high-rise bottoms.
• Neck: Foldable turtleneck can be doubled for structure or worn scrunched for a softer look.
• Sizing Advice: Choose your usual size for an easy, relaxed fit. Size up for oversized layering; size down for a neater, close-to-body look.
• On-Model Notes: On-model images show the intended drape and coverage. If you prefer more hip coverage, consider sizing up; for a sharper fit at the shoulders, consider sizing down.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first.
• Wool/Cashmere:
  • Hand wash cold with a wool-safe detergent, or dry clean if preferred.
  • Turn inside out; gently swish—do not wring or rub. Rinse in cold water.
  • Press out excess water with a towel; reshape and dry flat away from heat and sunlight.
  • Do not hang when wet; fold to store. Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver to gently remove pilling.
  • Steam to refresh and release wrinkles; avoid high-heat ironing.
• Cotton/Blends:
  • Machine wash cold on gentle in a mesh bag. Mild detergent. Wash with like colors.
  • Lay flat to dry to maintain shape; avoid tumble drying where possible.
  • Cool iron or steam as needed. Fold for storage rather than hanging to prevent stretching.
• Turtleneck & Slits:
  • After washing, gently reshape the turtleneck and align slit edges so they dry flat without curling.
  • Avoid pulling the collar when taking on/off; fold the neck to reduce stress on seams.
• General Care:
  • Rotate wears to let fibers recover between uses.
  • Store folded; if hanging, use wide, padded hangers and support from the body, not the neck.
  • Protect from moths with cedar or lavender; ensure the garment is clean before seasonal storage.

Style Tips

• Everyday Ease: Pair with straight-leg denim and ankle boots. Half-tuck the front to balance the relaxed fit and show the waistband.
• Work Polished: Tuck into tailored trousers; add loafers and a structured blazer. Fold the neck once for a clean, refined line.
• Evening Texture: Contrast with a leather skirt or coated pants and heeled boots. Layer delicate chains over the turtleneck.
• Layered Warmth: Wear over a long-sleeve tee for extra insulation, or under a long coat; side slits prevent bulk at the hips.
• Proportion Play: Balance the relaxed top with slim or straight bottoms; or choose wide-leg trousers and define the waist with a belt over the sweater.
• Neck Styling: Double-fold for structure, single-fold for classic, or lightly scrunch for a casual, effortless look.
• Color Pairing: Neutrals (oatmeal, charcoal, black) ground bright or patterned bottoms; saturated hues pair well with denim or monochrome looks.
