What to know about Howlin
Howlin' by Morrison is an Antwerp knitwear label run by two brothers who grew up in the family knitwear business, Morrison, started by their parents. The range centres on Shetland-style crewnecks, brushed mohair and lambswool sweaters, cardigans, beanies, scarves and socks in saturated colours and heathered marls, with folk and music-culture references throughout. Production stays with family-run mills and factories in Scotland, Ireland and Belgium. Knitted polos, woven shirts and light outerwear fill out collections sold through SSENSE and specialist menswear retailers.
The pieces that define Howlin
Shop Howlin →Bass Culture Mesh Polo
An open-mesh knit polo named for the label's dub and music-culture obsessions, it captures Howlin's habit of turning record-shop references into wearable knitwear.
Explore Bass Culture →Future is Mixed Up Scarf
Howlin's scarves are pure house style — brushed lambswool and mohair in heathered, folk-inflected colour blocks, made on the same family mills as its sweaters.

How Howlin fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Most people find Howlin' knitwear runs a touch generous and boxy for the labelled size — comfortable and roomy rather than fitted, with enough room to layer over a shirt or tee.
Tip: Take your usual size for the intended relaxed look, or size down one if you want a trimmer, closer knit fit.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackets | slightly large | relaxed overshirt/chore-style cut built to go over knitwear | Stay true to size if you plan to layer a thick sweater underneath, otherwise size down. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed, soft-shouldered; knitted polos are boxier still | Usual size works for a casual drape; size down if you prefer a neater silhouette. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy with a wide body and dropped-ish shoulder | Consider one size down if you dislike a boxy tee. |
