Description

The Skipper Jacket in Black by Andersen-Andersen is made in a half cardigan stitch, heavyweight, 7-gauge, 100% New Merino Wool knit using an exclusively developed long-fiber extra-spun yarn. Designed as a sweater jacket with knit side welt pockets completely integrated into the piece, this outerwear or layering garment draws inspiration from traditional naval sweater jackets, which were required for the varied weather conditions at sea, and reimagines a comfortable, luxurious piece suitable for various dress or casual style journeys. 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 features a knit ribbed band collar, cuffs, and hem to ensure it stays well-placed on worldly expeditions, along with a buffalo horn button front to offer styling and layering utility in a fully functional, finely finished, and magnificent sweater jacket. In a Black of the Abyss colorway, this piece from Andersen-Andersen is heartily knit in a multi-generational style worthy of maritime lore. This sophisticated and stalwart Skipper Jacket is a modern style inspired by vintage sailor knitwear, featuring a perfected fit that is sure to become a definitive staple in your wardrobe for fall, winter, and spring.
