John Smedley Cherwell Merino Wool Roll Neck Jumper in Rewilding Green

The John Smedley Cherwell Roll Neck is an enduring piece of British knitwear, combining the understated sophistication of fine-gauge merino with a style that has remained closely associated with Mod and 1960s fashion. Crafted in England from 100% Extra Fine Merino Wool, Cherwell is knitted in a lightweight 30 gauge construction that sits smoothly against the body, making it exceptionally versatile as both a standalone knit and a refined layering piece. With John Smedley’s long history of English knitwear craftsmanship dating back to 1784, it embodies the brand’s enduring approach to quality, natural materials and timeless design.

Cut in John Smedley’s Standard Fit, Cherwell features a finely ribbed roll neck, fashioned stitch shoulders and classic ribbed cuffs and hem. The clean, lightweight construction gives the jumper a sleek silhouette without the bulk associated with heavier winter knitwear, allowing it to sit comfortably beneath a jacket or tailored coat. The roll neck itself brings an unmistakably sophisticated character, recalling the intellectual, artistic and Mod styling of the 1960s while remaining just as relevant in a contemporary wardrobe.

This season, Rewilding Green gives the iconic silhouette a rich new character. Inspired by the deeper tones of the British landscape, the shade sits between forest green and muted moss, offering an elegant alternative to traditional black, navy and charcoal. Its natural depth works beautifully with chocolate brown, camel and warm tailoring, while cream, ecru and stone trousers provide crisp contrast.

Wear Cherwell beneath a flannel blazer for a polished take on classic Ivy League and Mod styling, or pair it with dark denim and boots for a more relaxed weekend look. Lightweight enough to tuck neatly into tailored trousers and refined enough to wear beneath structured outerwear, Cherwell remains a remarkably adaptable expression of John Smedley’s finest knitwear.
