Is this a sweater or a shirt-jacket?

It is an overshirt: a button-front, collared layer in wool, not a pullover knit. Treat it as a light jacket for cool weather.

How does the sizing run?

Overshirts are cut roomier than sweaters to allow layering. If you want a closer fit, size down; if you plan to wear it over a hoodie, take your usual size.

Can I wash it at home?

No. The care instructions call for dry cleaning only, which protects the wool's shape and the enamel buttons.

The sweater ships on its own, typically with brand tags and a garment bag or dust bag depending on the retailer. No extra accessories are included.

Is it worth the designer price?

You are paying for the Versace name, the Medusa buttons and the wool quality. Comparable non-designer wool overshirts cost far less, so buy it for the look and brand, not value.

Designer knitwear tends to drop during end-of-season sales and mid-year markdowns. Check the price history on this page before buying.

Our take on the Versace Black Wool Sweater

The Versace Black Wool Sweater is a men's wool overshirt-style top with a classic collar, button front and two chest flap pockets, finished with enamel Medusa-head buttons. It is dry-clean only and cut in a solid black cavalry wool that reads as a shirt-jacket rather than a pullover. It sits in Versace's mainline casual range, so expect a designer premium over ordinary wool overshirts.
