Pike Brothers 1923 Turtle Neck Dark Navy

The Pike Brothers 1923 Turtle Neck in Dark Navy takes inspiration from the traditional sailor sweaters of the 1920s, combining authentic heritage styling with the natural warmth and comfort of 100% RWS-certified Merino wool.

Turtleneck sweaters have their roots in practical 19th-century workwear, when their high collars provided sailors and workers with additional protection against cold weather. By the 1920s, the style had moved beyond purely functional clothing, becoming a favourite among athletes and artists and establishing itself as a timeless piece of everyday menswear.

The Pike Brothers 1923 Turtle Neck stays true to those early designs with a close-fitting cut, high roll neck and substantial knitted construction. The result is a warm, versatile sweater that works equally well as a standalone piece or as an insulating layer during colder months.

1920s Sailor Style in RWS Merino Wool

Made from 100% RWS-certified Merino wool, the yarn is sourced from renowned Italian spinning mill Tollegno, bringing together natural warmth, breathability and a soft feel. The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certification provides independently verified standards covering animal welfare and land management within the wool supply chain.

The high turtleneck provides additional warmth around the neck, while the fitted silhouette maintains the clean, understated appearance associated with classic 1920s sailor sweaters. Finished in versatile Dark Navy, it pairs naturally with denim, workwear trousers, jackets and other heritage-inspired clothing.

Made in Portugal, the Pike Brothers 1923 Turtle Neck is a timeless choice for anyone looking for a men’s Merino wool turtleneck, vintage sailor sweater or heritage knitwear with authentic 1920s inspiration.
