THE ROLE
What it should do.
It creates a controlled middle layer and softens the transition between a shirt and jacket or coat.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Fine or medium gauge
Ribbing that recovers after stretching
A neck that sits close without gripping
Navy, charcoal or mid-grey for maximum range
IN THE FITTING ROOM
Check the cuff with a jacket over it
Make sure the hem does not balloon
Fold rather than hang fine merino
