Description

The Dehen 1920 Lined Submariner Sweater Coat in Dark Charcoal is inspired by pre-WWII U.S. military maritime outerwear garments that William L. Dehen would have been issued as a Submariner in the U.S. Navy. This evolved knit jacket is equally appropriate in both urban environments and on the battlefield, made in an outerwear-appropriate four-end heavyweight worsted virgin wool that is knit entirely in-house on vintage machines utilized since the 1950s. In what has become a timeless addition to our Dehen line-up of hand-crafted outerwear offerings using the best materials available, this piece improves upon the original with a fully satin lined body and sleeves, tonal corozo buttons on the front placket, flap front patch pockets designed for accompaniments, and lined side entry hand pockets. This knit jacket will impress those seeking authentic American workmanship with a buttoned collar latch, interior chest pocket, and locker loop, finished with knit worsted wool fold-back cuffs made with Dehen’s own 1940s weaving machine. The Submariner Knit Jacket is a perfected essential, at home downtown or on deck in fall through spring, informed by the past and built for voyages ahead.
