Puroego Clay Brown Roll Neck

The brown turtleneck that replaces the shirt and tie under a suit, in fine-knit 100% cotton.

A turtleneck under a suit or blazer is one of the most elegant moves in menswear tailoring, with a seventies feel that has never gone out of style. In brown, that move gains warmth: it is a colour that works with ecru, beige and camel, making tonal looks effortless to put together. For the office, a date or an afternoon at a museum, it is the sophisticated alternative to a shirt when the cold sets in.

Its construction starts with the details that shape it: a high neck you can fold or wear straight, long sleeves, and ribbed cuffs and hem that keep the silhouette clean, even under a jacket. The fabric is a fine 12-gauge knit in 100% cotton, light and breathable, so it doesn’t add bulk when layered. Worked in melange yarn, the brown takes on a heathered depth, far from flat colour. A metal logo on the front hem completes the design.
