Description

The Sailor Full Zip Sweater in Tobak by Andersen-Andersen is made in a half cardigan stitch, medium-weight, 7-gauge, 100% New Merino Wool knit using an exclusively developed long-fiber extra-spun yarn. 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 a Teakwood Tobak Brown colorway, this piece from Andersen-Andersen is heartily knit in a multi-generational style worthy of maritime lore. This sophisticated and stalwart Sailor Full Zip Sweater is a modern style inspired by vintage sailor knitwear, featuring a perfected fit that is sure to become a definitive staple in your wardrobe from fall through spring.
