What's the Difference? Men Knitwear vs Jackets
As the weather becomes colder, people either decide to wear jackets or men knitwear.
Through our experience at Sweaters Australia, we see younger people wearing jackets and as they get older they start to wear men knitwear. Both can be worn however, they do both serve different purposes in the cold weather. Let me identify them for you.
Men knitwear refer specifically to wollen jumpers, woollen cardigans, woollen pullovers and woollen sweaters. Men Knitwear can also be made from blends of wool and acrylic or wool and Possum merino.
Men knitwear made of Australian merino wool is soft and breathable. Men Knitwear keep you very warm, are stylish and these days men knitwear has been refined to be lightweight and insulating.
At Sweaters Australia we sell a very broad range of men knitwear from plain merino wool men knitwear to Possum merino men knitwear and the fancy Geccu three dimensional men knitwear. All of these versions of men knitwear will keep you warm in the winter months.
Jackets
Jackets are generally an over garment and can be worn over a T-shirt, a shirt or men knitwear. Jackets are more focused on wind protection rather than insulation and warmth as they are mostly made from synthetic materials. Jackets can be made from merino wool however they would be lined with a synthetic lining and that creates a gap from the merino wool and your body which limits the amount of warmth your skin gets from the jacket
What are the main differences between a jacket and a mens woollen jumper
A men’s woollen jumper, which we refer to as men knitwear is warm, soft and flexible. Mens knitwear his most often worn over a T-shirt or shirt whilst a jacket can be worn over mens knitwear or a woollen jumper for men
Can men wear knitwear?
Men can certainly wear mens knitwear. There is an extensive range of different style men knitwear.
Men can wear fine weight merino wool jumpers for men. These can be worn over a T-shirt or a shirt and under a blazer. There are many stylish forms of men knitwear. Men can also wear medium weight men knitwear like cable knitwear for men or heavy weight fisherman rib knit mens woollen jumpers.
Do you wear a shirt underneath underwear?
Wearing a shirt under men knitwear is the most common way men knitwear is worn. Wearing a shirt under your men knitwear means you will not sweat directly onto the woollen jumper so you do not need to wash it as frequently. It also means the mens woollen jumper is not directly on your skin – this can avoid any irritation that you may feel if your body warms up too much from wearing your men knitwear all day.
