Soft jumper for a man?

5 replies

DP has sensitive skin, prone to occasional eczema and he gets hot really quickly, as a result wool drives him mad with itching.

He'd like a jumper for Christmas, probably plain navy with a round neck but it must be incredibly soft and not itchy.

Budget up to £80 but anything between £15 & £100 is fine really.

I'm fine with finding styles but not skin- friendly fabrics.

Any ideas?
TIA Smile

Sounds like he needs some cashmere

Or does cashmere make him itchy too?

Woolovers do a silk/cotton mix

Thanks squoosh
He's never tried cashmere because he's worried that it would make him itch too. His skin can bleed so I can understand him not wanting to experiment with an expensive cashmere jumper.

I'll look at Woolovers now...

Heard that merino wool is meant to be particularly good for sensitive skin
