Description

The Navy Full Zip in Dark Indigo by Andersen-Andersen is made in a full cardigan stitch, heavyweight, 5-gauge, 100% New Merino Wool knit with exclusively developed long fiber extra spun yarn. This unique Italian yarn development from Andersen-Andersen utilizes natural indigo from France and India with no chemical or synthetic color additives. It is the only natural indigo-dying recipe approved by Woolmark. Designed as a sweater jacket or a layering garment, this cardigan draws inspiration from traditional naval sweaters needed for 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, dyed, 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 Deep Sea Dark Indigo, this piece from Andersen-Andersen is heartily knit in a multi-generational style worthy of maritime lore. Designed to subtly patina, this natural indigo Full Zip Sweater is a modern style based on vintage sailor knitwear with a perfected fit, sure to become a definitive staple in your wardrobe from fall through spring.
