FAQ

What types of men's alternative sweaters are available?

The collection includes monochrome striped punk sweaters with metal buckles, ripped and 'beggar hole' knitted jumpers, oversized grunge pullovers with letter prints, distressed acrylic knits, turtleneck sweaters with PU leather sleeves, and slim-fit cardigans.

What is the distressed 'ripped knit' style?

Deliberate holes, laddered stitches, and ragged edges knitted into the garment — a 90s grunge and punk staple. The distressing is part of the construction, so the sweater is stable and won't unravel further with normal wear.

What sizes do men's grunge sweaters come in?

Most styles run M–XXL, with several to 3XL. Oversized jumpers are cut very loose by design — if you want a standard fit, consider sizing down after checking the actual garment measurements in the size chart.

What materials are these sweaters made from?

Mainly acrylic and acrylic-wool blends chosen for softness and shape retention, with cotton knits, PU leather sleeve panels, and metal buckle details on statement pieces. Composition is listed per product.

How do I style an oversized ripped sweater?

Layer it over a plain black tee or long sleeve so skin shows through the holes deliberately, with slim black jeans and combat boots. Striped punk knits pair well with plain dark bottoms — let the sweater be the loudest piece.

How should I care for open-knit sweaters?

Hand wash cold or use a wool cycle in a laundry bag, press water out without wringing, and dry flat. Store folded, not hung. Keep away from velcro, watches, and jewellery that can catch the open knit.
