Can you recommend a black polo neck jumper?

Looking for a plain or ribbed black polo neck jumper, that doesn't shrink or bobble. Preferably in a tall or longer length. Have had M&S before but find the arms and body length shrink in the wash.

I prefer natural fibres but happy with a mix. Has anyone got a recommendation?

Was just going to post the same question after a futile trip to the shops yesterday! Following...

‘My perpetual winter quest is black or navy polo necks.

I found some last week in next that were long enough but haven’t woren or washed them yet,

Glad it's not just me in search of such a basic/simple but seemingly elusive wardrobe item!

Try Hobbs, they have merino polo necks in a few colours.
I do like the M&S cashmere ones, I have shrunk one in the wash (because I wasn't careful) but if you wash them right then they stay like new.
Next used to be a good shout for things like this but haven't shopped there in a while.

Uniqlo? I have a cashmere polo from there but haven't worn it yet so can't say how it will wash.

GAP - merino wool jumpers. I have several styles (some 3 years old) and they don't bobble at all. Sleeve lengths are great plus you can chuck them in the washer on a cool delicate/hand cycle.

I like the silk-cotton ones from Jigsaw. Expensive, but no more so than cashmere, and so breathable and soft. I get away with machine washing them too.

Yup, Gap merino are great.
