In the Netherlands, a jumper needs to do more than look good. You want a style that feels comfortable while cycling, keeps you warm enough on chilly days and is easy to pair with jeans, chinos or a jacket. However, when looking for men’s jumpers, you’ll come across plenty of similar product photos and marketing claims. This can make it difficult to tell which features really matter.
Pay particular attention to these common pitfalls:
Always check the percentage of each fibre. Cotton generally feels soft and is comfortable to wear in layers. Polyester can help a garment retain its shape and is often used in sweatshirts and fleece. A knitted men’s jumper may also contain viscose, polyamide or acrylic. These materials affect the weight, softness and care requirements.
One example is the U.S. Polo Assn. fleece hoodie made from 60% cotton and 40% polyester. According to the product description, this style has a thick fleece lining. This makes the hoodie suitable if you’re looking for a warmer sweatshirt, but check that the thicker lining fits comfortably under your jacket.
According to the product information, the DIESEL A11591 in black is made with a main material of 100% cotton and ribbed trims consisting of 97% cotton and 3% elastane-spandex. The material specification shown may differ for the white and black versions, so check the information on the product page for your chosen option.
Don’t just look at S, M, L or XXL. Also check:
A regular fit usually offers more freedom of movement than a close-fitting style. If you want to wear a jumper under a jacket, you’ll often be better off avoiding an extremely loose cut. For a relaxed weekend outfit, a roomier men’s sweatshirt can be particularly practical.
If you’re unsure, measure a well-fitting jumper at home and compare these measurements with the size chart. Also bear in mind the difference between a men’s jumper, a men’s hoodie and a women’s jumper. A women’s style may have different shoulder lines, length or waist shaping, even when the overall size appears to be the same.
Check the care label before placing your order. The U.S. Polo Assn. fleece sweatshirt states that it should be washed at a maximum of 30 °C, not bleached, not tumble-dried and ironed at a low temperature. According to the product description, the DIESEL jumper should be washed at 30 °C on a delicate programme, must not be tumble-dried and should be dried in the shade.
The Levi’s Original Collection jumper is made from 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. The product information states that it should be cold-washed at up to 30 °C, tumble-dried at a low temperature and ironed at a maximum of 110 °C. Always follow the label in the garment, as care instructions may vary between versions.
The right choice depends on your routine. A cotton men’s jumper works well for the office and leisure time, while a hoodie is more convenient for travelling, walking or relaxing at home. Below are several options matched to different buyer profiles.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
For a casual outfit, a men’s sweatshirt works well with a T-shirt, jeans and trainers. A knitted men’s jumper can also be worn over a shirt for a smart yet relaxed look. When layering, choose a base layer that isn’t too thick, so that the sleeves and shoulders don’t feel restrictive.
Warm winter jumpers require extra consideration when it comes to volume. A chunky knitted style or fleece hoodie takes up more room under a jacket. For this reason, check the chest width and sleeve length rather than automatically ordering a larger size. For a versatile wardrobe, black, blue and neutral shades are generally easy to mix and match.
Measure a jumper that fits well across the chest, shoulders, sleeves and overall length. Compare these measurements with the size chart for the product you’ve chosen. Fit descriptions such as regular fit are useful, but they don’t replace checking the measurements.
Cotton is a practical choice if you’re looking for a soft jumper to wear indoors and outdoors. A cotton-polyester blend may be a good option for a sweatshirt or fleece hoodie with a different texture and lining. Always check the full composition and care label.
Wash it at the temperature stated on the label, don’t use bleach when it is not recommended and avoid tumble-drying if the garment is not suitable for it. Ideally, dry a knitted jumper flat or follow the stated care instructions.
