Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Riga V-Neck Jumper is a sophisticated addition to any professional female wardrobe, designed to offer a sharp, tailored appearance while maintaining the comfort required for long shifts. This jumper represents a perfect balance of natural performance and everyday practicality, bridging the gap between formal corporate wear and comfortable casuals. The inclusion of a V-neckline makes it an ideal layering piece, allowing for a neat presentation when worn over a collared blouse or shirt.
Key Features
- V-Neck Design: The classic V-neck provides a flattering silhouette and allows space for a professional collar or neck scarf to be displayed clearly.
- Ribbed Neck, Cuffs, and Hem: These reinforced edges ensure the garment retains its shape throughout the day, preventing the sagging or stretching that can occur with lesser-quality knitwear.
- Double Contrast Inner Neck: A subtle design detail that adds a touch of modern flair and visual interest when the garment is handled or hung.
- Merino and Cotton Blend: This specific combination utilizes the natural temperature-regulating properties of wool alongside the breathable softness of cotton.
Design & Performance
The Riga jumper is engineered using a blend of 50% Merino wool and 50% cotton. This medium-weight composition is particularly effective for indoor professional environments where temperature control is essential. Merino wool is renowned for its ability to wick moisture and regulate heat, ensuring you remain warm in the winter and cool in more temperate conditions. The addition of cotton provides a smooth finish that is gentle against the skin, reducing the 'itch' factor often associated with pure wool garments.
Durability is built into the design through the use of ribbed finishes on the cuffs and hem. These areas are prone to the most wear and tear, but the ribbing provides the necessary elasticity to snap back into shape after repeated use, ensuring you maintain a professional appearance from Monday through to Friday.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To elevate your corporate branding, the Riga V-Neck Jumper is exceptionally well-suited for embroidery. We recommend embroidery for this knitwear as it creates a high-quality, textured finish that complements the premium feel of the Merino wool. Our Telford-based team uses precision machinery to ensure your logo is applied with tight, consistent stitching that won't puck or pull the knit.
While embroidery is the preferred choice for a traditional professional look, print options are also available for larger, bolder designs. Having been in the business since 1976, the MyWorkwear team has the technical expertise to advise on the best placement for your customisation to ensure it remains durable and visually striking.
Use Cases
This jumper is a versatile staple for various professional settings. It is particularly popular for front-of-house staff in hospitality, corporate office environments, and management roles where a step up from a standard sweatshirt is required. Its clean lines and classic navy colour make it a reliable choice for client-facing positions where first impressions are paramount.

Practical Advice
The Riga V-Neck Jumper is a lightweight to medium-weight garment, making it excellent for layering. For a complete professional look, we recommend pairing it with a crisp white blouse. If you are between sizes, consider the nature of your base layer; a slightly more generous fit may be preferable if you intend to wear thicker shirts underneath.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of a wool blend requires a slightly more considered approach to laundry to ensure the garment doesn't lose its shape or soft handle.
This jumper is machine washable, which is a significant advantage for a garment containing Merino wool. We recommend using a gentle cycle to prevent the fibres from becoming agitated, which can lead to pilling. Using a dedicated wool detergent will further protect the natural fibres and keep the navy colour vibrant for longer.
Avoid the use of a tumble dryer at all costs; the heat can cause the wool fibres to shrink or become brittle. Instead, reshape the jumper while damp and dry it flat to ensure the ribbed cuffs and hem retain their original dimensions. Regular care following these guidelines will ensure your professional investment lasts for many seasons.
