Product Overview
The Russell Collection Women’s V-Neck Knitted Sweater is a sophisticated solution for professionals who require a garment that balances a sharp aesthetic with daily practicality.

The classic V-neck silhouette is specifically designed for seamless layering over shirts or polo shirts, making it an essential component of a polished corporate uniform.
Key Features

- Set-in Sleeves: This construction method ensures a structured shoulder line and a more formal appearance compared to casual raglan styles.
- Quick-Drying Fabric: The blend is engineered to dry rapidly, reducing downtime between laundry cycles—a significant advantage for busy professionals.
- Extensive Size Range: Available from XXS through to 4XL, ensuring every member of your team can be catered for with a consistent look.
Design & Performance
The performance of this sweater lies in its 12-gauge fine knit. This specific gauge produces a smooth, dense surface that provides excellent insulation while remaining lightweight enough for indoor wear. The 50/50 CottonBlend fabric is technically superior to pure natural fibres in a work environment, as the acrylic component introduces stain resistance and prevents the fading often seen in 100% cotton garments. This ensures your team maintains a consistent, high-standard appearance over a long lifecycle.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine-gauge knit of the J710F provides a remarkably stable and smooth canvas for customisation. For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery; the density of the knit allows for high-detail logos and names to sit flat against the fabric without pulling or puckering. This creates a durable, three-dimensional branding effect that withstands the rigours of daily wear.
While print is also an option for bolder, larger designs, our in-house team at our Telford facility—where we have been perfecting our craft since 1976—generally finds that embroidery offers the most sophisticated result for this specific knitwear style. Every garment is handled by experts to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases
This sweater is perfectly suited for customer-facing roles, including front-of-house staff, hospitality management, and corporate office teams. It is an ideal choice for businesses looking to transition from casual wear to a more structured uniform without moving to full tailoring. The wide size range also makes it a dependable choice for large-scale staff rollouts.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note the contemporary fit is designed to be sleek. If you intend to layer this sweater over thicker formal shirts, you may wish to consider the measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders. The XXS to 4XL range covers UK dress sizes 6 through 22, providing a broad scope for inclusive team outfitting.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic of your sweater, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes oils and dirt without causing the synthetic fibres to break down prematurely, ensuring the garment remains soft and stain-resistant.
This item is suitable for tumble drying, which helps to maintain the loft of the knit. However, we advise against the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these can degrade the cotton fibres and cause discolouration in the acrylic, potentially damaging your embroidered logo. Following these steps will ensure your investment continues to look professional for the long term.
