Burberry sweaters

Pre-owned Burberry jumpers for women and men, from crewnecks and V-necks to quarter-zip and full-zip styles in wool and cotton.

Crewneck, V-neck and zip

The crewneck has a round neckline that sits close at the neck, so it works on its own or over a shirt with the collar showing. The V-neck leaves more of the shirt visible and suits a smarter outfit. Quarter-zip and full-zip jumpers open at the front and are easier to layer. Burberry jumpers usually have ribbed cuffs and hem, and some have the Equestrian Knight, the logo Burberry selected through a public competition around 1901, or a check panel.

Wool and cotton

A wool jumper is warmer and suits autumn and winter, worn under a coat or over a shirt. A cotton jumper is lighter and suits spring. The material of each jumper is stated in its description. Every jumper is professionally cleaned, and any imperfection is stated in its condition description.

Size and measurements

A size label from decades ago rarely matches a modern one. For a jumper that is worn under a coat, comparing the chest with a jumper already in the wardrobe shows whether it will sit comfortably underneath. The method is explained in the guide to measuring pit to pit.

Knitwear that opens at the front is collected under Burberry cardigans, and Burberry is also available for women and for men. The complete guide to Burberry covers the labels and the history, and Spotting fake Burberry explains what to check.

Questions about Burberry jumpers

How can a real Burberry jumper be recognised?

The label, the care label, the stitching and any logo should agree with each other and with the era of the jumper. Every jumper is authenticated through LegitApp.

How can the age of a Burberry jumper be told?

The label gives a first indication. It reads Burberrys on jumpers made before 1999 and Burberry after that.

How does Burberry knitwear fit?

The fit varies by era and model, so the label size is a rough guide. The four flat measurements in the description of each jumper are the most reliable reference.

How should a wool jumper be washed?

The care label comes first. As a rule, wool is washed by hand in cold water or on a wool cycle and dried flat, never hung.
