Why merino wool makes the Goodmans worth keeping

Goodmans · The Merino Polo Cardigan

Nov 1, 2026·

The Goodmans belongs to the Tops range and comes in green striped. It is merino wool, cut for regular wear rather than one season, which is why the construction matters more than the name.

How to wear it

Keep the palette tight — two tones plus green striped — and the outfit needs no further thought.

Fabric

Made from merino wool, the Goodmans resists creasing and holds its colour when washed cold. It feels substantial without being heavy.

Care

Wash cold, inside out, hang to dry. Skip the dryer: heat is what shortens the life of merino wool. A soft brush handles most marks.

Fit

The silhouette is deliberately plain. That is the point: it does not fight a jacket, a knit or a heavier shoe.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

Nothing here is designed to impress at first glance. The point is that it keeps working, season after season.
