Our sailor sweater in virgin wool

The genuine sailor jumper has made Le Minor hosiery a success. In this women's model, it's available in yellow, to recall the shade worked in the 70s by our workshops, and offers a dynamism and originality that contrasts with traditional navy fashion. This essential garment never goes out of fashion: it's been made in the same way for over a hundred years - it's fitted, close to the body with its long cut - and is an absolute classic that every woman should have in her wardrobe.

Hand-knitted in Guidel, our sailor jumper has always been designed to be worn close to the body: originally, to keep sailors warm without hindering boat manoeuvres. That's why it's also known as the ‘sock jumper’: it's tight-fitting, and has been worn that way since its inception. Although its button placket is a Scottish innovation, our sailor jumper is worth enlisting the services of the oldest hosiery firm still operating in the Brittany region: Maison Le Minor, which dates back to 1922. If you're hesitating between two sizes, opt for the smaller size. If you're not comfortable with our narrow virgin wool, check out our more comfortable models: Newport jumper, fisherman jumper... or opt for our soft, comfortable merino wool in this revisit of the sailor jumper.
