SHOP Men's Jumpers

Our men’s jumpers earn their place in the wardrobe all year round — lightweight merino crew necks, half zips and cotton knits that work just as well over a summer evening as they do layered under a jacket on a cooler day. Pull one on when the temperature drops, or pack it for cool nights away.

Barkers men’s jumpers cover everything a New Zealand winter wardrobe needs, from lightweight merino crew necks and V-necks through to heavier cable knits and half zip sweaters built for layering. Pull one on over a shirt for the office, or wear it solo with jeans or chinos on the weekend. Each style moves easily between smart-casual and off-duty, so you’re not reaching for something different every time the temperature drops.

Our jumpers are made from natural fibres chosen for comfort and longevity, including ZQrx certified traceable merino wool alongside cotton and wool blends. Merino regulates temperature naturally, keeping you warm without overheating indoors, and resists odour between washes so it’s easy to wear more and launder less. The result is a jumper that holds its shape through regular wear and gets better with age rather than wearing out.

Men's Jumper FAQs

A Jumper and sweater are the same garment — jumper is just the term more commonly used in New Zealand and the UK, while sweater is used more in the US. Both describe a knitted top pulled on over the head, from lightweight knit tees through to heavier cable knits and half zips.

It depends what you need it for. Merino is the most versatile — warm in winter, breathable enough to layer, and naturally odour-resistant. Cotton knits are lighter and suit milder days or layering under a jacket. Wool blends sit in between, offering extra warmth and structure for colder months.

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a wool-specific detergent, and skip the fabric softener. Lay flat to dry rather than hanging, which helps it hold its shape. Merino naturally resists odour, so it can be worn several times between washes.

Merino is a year-round fibre, not just a winter one. It naturally regulates body temperature, keeping you warm in cooler conditions while still breathing well if the day heats up. A lightweight merino crew or polo works as a layering piece in any season.

For smart-casual, layer a crew neck or half zip over a shirt with chinos or tailored trousers. For off-duty, pair it with jeans and sneakers or boots. Darker, neutral tones layer easily under a jacket for the office, while textured or cable knits hold their own worn solo.
