Our sailor sweater in virgin wool
The ‘real sailor jumper’ for men has been the success story of Le Minor hosiery for over 100 years. A timeless model in our collections, our sailor jumper has remained in our workshops since its creation - with its long, close-fitting cut - and is now the must-have item in every man's wardrobe, in this trendy apple green colour inspired by a 70s archive.
This navy knit, in an elegant, tangy shade of green that stands out from the traditional navy colour, has always been designed to be worn close to the body. Its primary function was to keep the men on the boat warm, without getting in the way of manoeuvres. If you're hesitating between two sizes, go for the larger one. If you're not comfortable with the tight fit associated with this garment, opt for our looser models such as the Newport jumper and the fisherman jumper. We also recommend our plain merino wool navy jumper.
Creation of our sailor sweater in virgin wool
The real green sailor sweater for men is knitted in Guidel, in the same way as the previous generations. The material selected for this sweater gives it a good hold and warmth. By dealing with demanding customers for almost 100 years, Le Minor has been able to develop an unparalleled quality. This authentic sailor sweater is therefore made to last a lifetime, and be passed on to the next generation.
