The Top That Finishes a Leather Jacket

Turtleneck closes that gap. It keeps the wind out, frames the jaw and gives the jacket a tailored line that a T-shirt never will. That is why the roll neck has sat under leather since the 1960s, and why it still looks right today.

Every piece in this edit is a breathable cotton knit with natural stretch, so there is no wool itch and no bulk under a leather jacket. They come in sizes S to XXL and machine wash cold.

Mens Turtleneck FAQs

Can you wear a turtleneck with a leather jacket?

Yes. It is one of the most best pairings with leather jackets.

What is the difference between a turtleneck and a mock neck?

A turtleneck has a tall collar that folds over on itself. A mock neck is shorter and does not fold. Mock necks suit jackets with a band or snap-tab collar, like cafe racers; full turtlenecks suit open-lapel bikers and long coats.

What colour turtleneck goes with a black leather jacket?

Black for a sleek all-black look, charcoal or grey for a softer contrast, and red if you want the turtleneck to be the focal point.

What colour turtleneck goes with a brown leather jacket?

White and blue are the classic pairings with brown and cognac leather. Black also works and reads a little sharper.

Are these turtlenecks itchy?

No. They are made from a breathable cotton knit, not wool, so they are soft against the neck and comfortable indoors. They machine wash cold.

How should a mens turtleneck fit under a leather jacket?

Close to the body without pulling. Take your usual size; the cotton has natural stretch. A loose turtleneck bunches at the waist and shoulders under a slim leather jacket.
