A loose knit pullover with ribbed cuffs and hem, made mostly of nylon with acrylic, viscose and a little wool. It suits the cool months, when one rail in the wardrobe has to cover work, errands and the walk home. The listing gives no size or color details.

The fabric is a blend of 45% nylon, 30% acrylic, 20% viscose and 5% finer wool. The acrylic is described as anti pilling, and the listing says the knit helps reduce pilling and keeps its shape, though it gives no timeframe. Nylon is the largest share, so synthetics set the character more than wool does. Soft, lightweight and breathable but warm are the seller’s words, not measurements.

The title says mock neck, while the feature text says classic crew neck. The photos should settle which it is, because the listing does not. The cut is a loose fit with long sleeves, and the cuffs and hem are stretchy ribbing that gives a defined edge at wrist and hip. Sizes, lengths and measurements are not stated. Whether loose reads relaxed or oversized is a matter of taste and of the size chart.

Care is listed as machine wash. The seller adds that hand washing or a cold machine wash in a laundry bag works, with the sweater laid flat to dry. The listing suggests wearing it with jeans, leggings, trousers, skirts or boots, or under a coat. The plain solid color design keeps it easy to repeat through a week. It is imported, and no country is named.
