W5486 Sweater - Black Regular Crumpled Jersey Doubled High Neck Women's Italian

Crumpled Jersey. Doubled High Neck. Permanently Considered.

The W5486 is a regular-fit turtleneck sweater in 96% polyester, 4% elastane crumpled jersey — a fabric with a permanently set crumple that creates surface texture and tonal variation without any additional treatment. A doubled high neck adds structure and warmth at the collar while the crumpled jersey body falls with a relaxed, textured quality. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Sweater Is Different

• Crumpled Jersey: 96% polyester, 4% elastane — the jersey is crumpled — a finishing technique where the fabric is permanently set into a crumpled texture during production. The crumple creates variation in the surface that catches light differently at every angle, and creates a fabric that reads as more complex and considered than standard smooth jersey. Unlike standard jersey, the crumpled W5486 has a surface that rewards close examination and reads as elevated without being formal.
• Doubled High Neck: The collar is doubled — two layers of crumpled jersey folded over each other at the neck. The doubled construction adds warmth and structure at the collar, and creates a visible detail that contrasts with the relaxed, crumpled body below. The high neck rises from the collarbone with a presence that frames the face.
• Regular Fit: The sweater follows the body without being tight — the crumpled jersey creates a relaxed, textured silhouette that works as a base layer or worn alone.
• 4% Elastane: The elastane content ensures the crumpled jersey moves with the body and recovers after wear without distorting the crumpled surface texture.
• Made in Italy: Crumpled jersey finishing, doubled collar construction, and finishing all completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

The crumpled jersey catches the light immediately — the permanently set texture creating variation across the surface that reads as more complex than standard smooth jersey. The doubled high neck rises from the collarbone with structure and warmth, the two layers of crumpled jersey folded over each other creating a visible detail at the collar.

The W5486 is a sweater that works as a base layer and as a standalone piece. Under a structured coat or oversized jacket, the doubled high neck is visible above the collar — a textured, considered detail. Worn alone, the crumpled jersey and doubled neck are enough — a complete, minimal look that requires nothing else.

The Art of Crumpled Jersey

Crumpling is a finishing technique where the fabric is permanently set into a crumpled texture during production using heat and mechanical pressure. The result is a surface with variation — raised and recessed areas that catch light differently, creating a fabric that reads as dimensional rather than flat. Unlike standard jersey, which has a uniform, smooth surface, crumpled jersey has a texture that is visible from a distance and tactile up close. In the W5486, the crumple is applied to a polyester-elastane jersey — the polyester content ensures the crumple is permanently set and does not wash out; the elastane ensures the fabric moves with the body without distorting the crumpled surface.

How to Wear It

• Under a Coat or Jacket: Wear under a long structured coat or oversized blazer — the doubled high neck visible above the collar, the crumpled jersey adding warmth and texture beneath the outerwear.
• Tucked into Trousers: Tuck into high-waisted wide-leg trousers — the doubled high neck and crumpled jersey body create a complete, textured look above the waistband.
• With a Midi Skirt: Wear with a high-waisted midi or maxi skirt — the regular fit and doubled neck create a clean, elongated silhouette with surface interest.
• Alone, Minimal: Wear alone with wide-leg trousers — the crumpled jersey and doubled high neck are enough. The W5486 alone is a deliberate choice about texture and restraint.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, delicate cycle — the crumpled texture requires gentle handling to preserve the surface pattern
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry to preserve the crumpled jersey texture and shape
• Do not iron directly on the crumpled surface — heat will flatten the crumple; steam only at low temperature if needed
• Do not bleach
• Store flat or hung — avoid folding along the crumpled surface to prevent permanent crease marks in the texture
