Description

The Navy Full Zip Pocket Sweater in Natural Taupe by Andersen-Andersen is made in a full cardigan stitch, heavyweight, 5-gauge, 100% New Merino Wool knit using an exclusively developed long-fiber extra-spun yarn. This natural wool development from Andersen-Andersen is created from a single annual shear, then washed and spun, leaving it entirely undyed to exhibit the genuine color of fine fleece. Designed as a sweater jacket or layering garment, with knit side welt pockets fully integrated into the piece, this cardigan draws inspiration from traditional naval sweaters worn in various weather conditions at sea. With absolute consideration of purpose, an Andersen-Andersen piece carries the provenance of ethically mulesing-free, top-harvested merino wool from Patagonian sheep that's yarn-spun and knit in Italy with hand-linked and bartacked assembly and fully fashioned interiors. To top it off, this piece has a heightened collar to be worn down or up, depending on preference, and a two-way zipper for style and layering utility, along with a knit ribbed hem and cuffs with well-executed thumb holes that can either act as hand warmers or be rolled up with ease for a finely finished, functional sweater jacket. In a Sea Cliff Natural Taupe, this piece from Andersen-Andersen is heartily knit in a multi-generational style worthy of maritime lore. This sophisticated and stalwart Navy Full Zip Pocket Sweater is a modern style inspired by vintage sailor knitwear, featuring a perfected fit that is sure to become a wardrobe staple from fall to spring.
