Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Franklin Turtleneck Jumper represents a refined approach to professional knitwear, bridging the gap between formal tailoring and practical comfort. Designed specifically for the modern male wardrobe, this long-sleeved garment provides a sleek silhouette that works exceptionally well as a standalone piece or layered beneath a blazer. The inclusion of a turtleneck offers a distinguished appearance while providing additional warmth during the cooler months without the need for a tie.
Key Features
- Turtleneck Design: Provides a classic, professional look that offers superior neck coverage and warmth in draughty environments.
- 12-Gauge Knit: This fine-knit construction ensures a smooth, high-quality finish that remains breathable while providing a substantial feel.
- Ribbed Neck, Cuffs, and Hem: These reinforced sections help the jumper retain its shape and prevent stretching, ensuring it remains smart throughout the working day.
- Contrast Inner Neck Strip: A subtle design detail that adds an extra touch of sophistication to the garment's interior finish.
- Cotton-Acrylic Blend: Combines the natural breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing, shape-retaining properties of acrylic.
Design & Performance
The Franklin Turtleneck is engineered from a balanced 60% cotton and 40% acrylic blend. This specific composition is chosen for its performance in a work environment; the cotton ensures the wearer remains comfortable and cool, while the acrylic provides the necessary resilience to withstand the rigours of frequent wear. As a 12-gauge knit, the fabric is fine enough to look elegant but has enough substance to provide a professional drape.
Durability is at the forefront of the design. The ribbed cuffs and hem are not merely decorative; they are essential for maintaining the garment's structure, preventing the 'baggy' look often associated with lesser-quality knitwear after a few washes. This jumper is built to look as good at the end of the shift as it did at the start.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a garment of this quality, we highly recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, can apply your company logo with precision. Embroidery provides a textured, high-end finish that complements the 12-gauge knit perfectly, enhancing your brand's professional image.
While embroidery is often preferred for knitwear, the smooth surface of this jumper can also accommodate high-quality printing for bolder, larger designs. Whether you require a subtle logo on the neck or a more prominent brand mark on the chest, our in-house experts will ensure the finish is of the highest standard to reflect your business's values.
Use Cases
This turtleneck jumper is highly versatile, making it a favourite for customer-facing roles, management positions, and hospitality staff. It is an excellent alternative to a traditional shirt and tie, providing a 'smart-casual' look that remains authoritative. It is equally at home in a corporate office as it is being worn by a business owner during site visits or client meetings.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider how you intend to wear the jumper. If you plan to layer it over a shirt, you may prefer a slightly more generous fit, though its fine-knit design is primarily intended to be worn over a base layer or directly against the skin for a streamlined look. It pairs exceptionally well with charcoal or navy tailored trousers for a complete professional ensemble.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the 12-gauge knit and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend following the machine-washing instructions carefully. Using a gentle cycle will help prevent the cotton-acrylic fibres from pilling and ensure the garment stays soft to the touch.
Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as these can break down the fabric's fibres and cause discolouration, particularly on the navy finish. For best results, allow the jumper to dry naturally; high heat from tumble drying can cause knitwear to lose its shape and may affect the longevity of any custom embroidery or print.
