escotes chimenea

español al inglés Otros Textil / Ropa / Moda textile
In English? I presume it's high neck but is there a more specific term? I've seen one reference to 'chimney pot type' neckline but I'm sure there's something else??

Context: clothes

Thank you

Funnel neck (neckline)

I'm not totally clear on what an "escote chimenea" is, but I understand it to be a funnel neck, which is a high neckline that runs up from the shoulders and is not as high or tight around the neck as a turtle neck (and is not folded) and is not loose like a cowl neck.

Style A of the first sweater on this web page is an example.

Turtle neck

how about Turtle neck? This is something like "cuello polera" in Spanish.

don't think we use chimney! But a cowl goes on top of a chimney (cover to keep the birds out)

I agree with Clau

If you make a search for chimney neck (unquoted) you get many hits (see below). But if you quote "chimeny neck" you will not get one single hit.
