The Placket Neck is our flagship sweater; a favourite for over 30 years, a tried and true work shirt that doubles as day-to-day wear. This classic and functional style is loved by tradespeople, outdoor adventure enthusiasts, and athletes. 

With our signature straight body and drop shoulder construction your movements are never restricted. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to work: the stretchy ribbed cuffs will stay in place. Natural lanolin oil in the wool prevents rain from soaking through to your shirt. This classic look works on the job site or in the office, rink side at a hockey game or on the golf course. 

We should warn you, this style has the highest rate of spousal theft. Thwart crime and preserve domestic bliss by buying one for each of you.

Wool that loves to be washed!

Here’s how to keep your sweater looking its best. 

• Machine Wash: Turn your sweater inside out and wash in cold water with a mild detergent. 
• Machine Dry: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting. You can lay the sweater flat to dry but please do not hang it to dry as this may cause it to grow longer from the weight of it while wet.
• Protect Against Moths: Machine washing clears away moth eggs that may be laying in wait to hatch and eat the wool.
• Store Safely: If you are putting your sweater away for the season, we recommend you launder it before storing in sealed plastic or in a cedar chest.
• Renew: Has your sweater stretched? Bring it back to the fit you love with a quick wash and tumble dry.
