When the autumn chill takes hold, nothing elevates a gentleman’s wardrobe quite like thoughtfully textured, vintage-inspired knitwear. UK-based streetwear and contemporary menswear brand Bound has mastered the art of bridging retro aesthetics with modern silhouettes, creating statement pieces that feel just as good as they look.

Their latest seasonal knitwear drops are packed with tactile waffle weaves, rich gradient fades, 70s-inspired disc motifs, and washed vintage finishes. Whether you are looking for an open crochet polo for transitional layering or a heavy ribbed jumper to tackle crisp mornings, here are the essential knits from Bound to keep your autumnal style on point.
Botha Sunburst Gradient Knit

A standout piece from Bound’s acclaimed collaboration series, the Botha Sunburst Gradient Knit (£98) brings an injection of warm, sunset-inspired colour to dreary autumn days. Crafted from an ultra-soft touch yarn, this jumper features a seamless gradient fade that transitions gracefully across the body. Its relaxed silhouette makes it an effortless hero piece to throw over a simple white tee, pairing perfectly with relaxed selvedge denim or tailored trousers for an understated yet eye-catching aesthetic.
Retro Disc Knit Sweater – Brown

Channelling unadulterated 1970s nostalgia, the Retro Disc Knit Sweater in Brown (£95) turns vintage design codes into a contemporary wardrobe staple. Built with a rich, tactile knit construction, the jumper is anchored by a bold geometric disc motif spanning the chest. The warm, earthy brown colourway feels tailor-made for the autumn season, delivering a distinct retro vibe that elevates your casual weekend outfit without trying too hard.
Retro Disc Knit Full Zip Polo – Brown

For gents who prefer the versatile functionality of a collared mid-layer, the Retro Disc Knit Full Zip Polo in Brown (£110) takes the brand’s signature disc pattern and adds a sleek full-zip front. Featuring a clean retro collar and structured ribbed cuffs, this piece bridges the gap between casual knitwear and tailored outerwear. Zip it all the way up for a sharp, high-neck profile or wear it open over a tank for effortless, layered cool.
Crochet Knit Polo – Stone

Transitional weather calls for tactile depth, and the Crochet Knit Polo in Stone (£85) delivers it in spades. Crafted from 100% premium cotton in a soft ecru tone, it features an open crochet weave that adds immediate visual interest and breathability. The casual resort-style collar and relaxed fit make it an ideal option for layering beneath a heavy coat or pairing with relaxed chinos when grabbing a weekend flat white.
Mushroom Gradient Knit

Embracing organic, earth-toned aesthetics, the Mushroom Gradient Knit (£95) is a masterclass in tonal dressing. Featuring a subtle dip-dyed gradient effect that fades through rich mushroom brown into softer stone hues, this soft-touch jumper offers a muted, sophisticated look for the cooler months. It is built with a comfortable, roomier fit that keeps you warm without adding unnecessary bulk to your outfit.
Ribbed Cropped Knit – Washed Green

If you prefer modern, boxy proportions with a worn-in heritage feel, the Ribbed Cropped Knit in Washed Green (£105) is an essential pick. Featuring a heavy vertical rib-knit texture and a contemporary cropped hemline, this piece is treated with a vintage garment wash that gives the deep green hue a unique, sun-faded character. It sits perfectly at the waistline, making it an ideal partner for high-waisted trousers or wide-leg denim.
Cable Vintage Knit Polo – Washed Black

Combining classic heritage patterns with an edgy streetwear finish, the Cable Vintage Knit Polo in Washed Black (£90) reimagines the traditional cable-knit jumper. Built with intricate cable panelling down the front and finished with a classic polo collar, the washed black treatment gives the fabric a softly faded, lived-in patina right off the peg. It offers a rugged yet refined option for evening drinks or autumn dinners.
Freddie Marine Waffle Stripe Knit Polo

Rounding out the lineup with effortless resort charm, the Freddie Marine Waffle Stripe Knit Polo (£90) blends a tactile waffle-knit structure with bold marine-inspired horizontal stripes. The open placket and relaxed collar offer a nod to mid-century leisurewear, while the substantial cotton blend keeps you comfortable as the mercury drops. It is a versatile, style-forward layer that brings subtle pattern play to your seasonal rotation.
