The Classic Crew Neck

Discover Wild South crew neck knitwear, featuring New Zealand made wool jumpers designed for everyday life. The classic crew neck is a dependable wardrobe staple, offering a simple, versatile style that works across seasons and suits a wide range of occasions.

Our collection brings together crew neck jumpers made with different New Zealand wool fabrics, each with its own feel and character. Fine merino offers a smooth, lightweight feel, while New Zealand lambswool brings a softer texture to traditional wool knitwear. Our Outdoor Wool styles use a more substantial knit for those who prefer a heavier layer when the weather turns cooler.

The choice of wool makes a difference to how a jumper feels and wears. Merino is valued for its softness and ability to help regulate body temperature, while lambswool has a distinctive handle that gives knitwear a relaxed, textured finish. Heavier wool knits offer a more substantial feel, making them a practical choice for cooler days outdoors.

A crew neck jumper is easy to make your own. Wear one with jeans for a relaxed everyday outfit, add it over a shirt when you want a little more structure, or keep one handy for cooler mornings and evenings. Its uncomplicated shape makes it a reliable choice for weekends away, everyday errands and time spent with friends.

Our Merino knitwear and New Zealand Lambswool knitwear offer different takes on this classic style. You can also explore our Outdoor Wool collection for crew neck options made with a more substantial wool knit.

Wild South has a long-standing connection with New Zealand clothing manufacture, with many of our knitwear styles made in Christchurch. We focus on quality natural fibres, considered construction and familiar designs that earn their place in your wardrobe.
