Pollen Placket Calypso

The Placket Neck Wool Sweater
A flagship style for over 30 years, the Placket Neck is the original Pollen Sweater—crafted for work, adventure, and everyday life. Loved by tradespeople, outdoor enthusiasts, and athletes, this classic wool sweater delivers function, comfort, and timeless style. Available now at Harbour Chandler.

Designed with Pollen’s signature straight body and drop-shoulder construction, it allows natural, unrestricted movement. The stretchy ribbed cuffs stay securely in place when sleeves are rolled up for work. Thanks to the lanolin oil naturally found in pure wool, rainwater beads away instead of soaking through—making this the perfect all-weather, all-purpose sweater.

From the job site to the cabin, rink side at a hockey game, or on the golf course, it fits right in. And fair warning—this style reportedly has the highest rate of spousal theft. Avoid sweater disputes and order one for each of you.

Colours
Available in 26 beautiful colours. Most colours feature a black placket, Gravel Road features a light grey placket, and blue shades include a dark navy placket.

How to Care for Your Sweater
Turn it inside out and machine wash in cold water with mild detergent. Tumble dry on medium or lay flat (do not hang while wet). Washing helps eliminate moth eggs, refresh fit, and maintain the sweater’s natural properties. If storing away for the season, launder and seal in plastic or cedar to protect the wool.
