Friends of Colhay's: The Superfine Lambswool Fisherman Cable Rollneck in Ecru.


The Superfine Lambswool Fisherman Cable Rollneck in Ecru offers unparalleled versatility, effortlessly transitioning between casual and smart-casual occasions. In this edition of Friends of Colhay's, we spotlight looks from Sunghyun Lee (@l.l.wood) as they explore the art of dressing this timeless piece up and down.

From layering with tailored trousers for a sophisticated edge to pairing with relaxed jeans for weekend comfort, they showcase how this rollneck shines across a range of textures and tones. Discover how to integrate this wardrobe staple into your outfits, elevating your style with subtle contrasts and refined simplicity.

Causal Denim

The classic Fisherman Cable Rollneck is a standout staple for 2025, exuding effortless cool when paired with wide-cuffed indigo jeans and a glossy leather jacket. The jumper's matte texture and neutral ecru tone beautifully offset the jacket’s sheen, creating a balanced and eye-catching contrast. Complemented by the subtle matte finish of suede workman boots, this look is not only stylish but also perfect for staying warm in cooler weather.


The Fisherman in Ecru’s light neutral tone pairs effortlessly with lighter denims. Its ideal length offers a sleek look when styled with a slightly cropped, hip-length jacket and remains equally elegant layered under a longer wool coat for winter. For a trendy work man look the fisherman remains sleek under a stiff dungaree. 

Recreate these effortlessly layered looks featuring the Fisherman Cable Rollneck in Ecru as the core piece. In one variation, the jumper is paired with an olive green parka and black sweatpants for a relaxed, rugged feel, with the jumper's neutral tone contrasting the jacket's earthy green and brown combat boots grounding the outfit for winter practicality.

Alternatively, for a more polished take, style the rollneck with dark indigo denim, an olive parka featuring a fur-lined hood, and sleek black leather shoes. The jumper’s matte texture complements both the denim and the sheen of the footwear, while the neutral tones tie the outfit together for a refined yet approachable winter-ready ensemble. Both looks demonstrate the jumper's versatility in combining textures and tones for style that’s as functional as it is sophisticated.

Experimenting with Neutrals 

The Fisherman Cable Rollneck in Ecru pairs effortlessly with olive chinos, creating a balanced and earthy palette that feels both timeless and refined. The neutral tone of the jumper softens the richness of the chinos, while the textured knit adds depth and contrast to the sleekness of the trousers, making it a perfect combination for smart-casual occasions.

Keeping the palette dark and neutral with brown cords and a blue wool coat creates a harmonious and sophisticated look, where the rich tones complement each other while allowing the textured ecru jumper to subtly stand out. 
In a lighter palette, the soft green and brown tones evoke a sense of freshness and warmth, bringing much-needed brightness to winter months while pairing seamlessly with the neutral ecru jumper.

 

You can match other subtle textures, as seen here, with the dark check complementing the Fisherman’s subtle weave, adding depth to the outfit. The ecru colour of the jumper brings light to the face, softening the otherwise dark grey tones for a balanced and refined look.


In the final look on the left, David Evans of (@greyfoxstyle) pairs the Fisherman Cable Rollneck with classic grey trousers, showcasing it as an effortless go-to for smart-casual dressing.
