Our navy sailor sweater in virgin wool
Known as the ‘true sailor jumper’, our virgin wool sailor jumper has been a major factor in the success of Le Minor hosiery. This unconditional garment has remained unchanged since its creation almost 100 years ago - long cut, close-fitting - and is an absolute classic in women's fashion wardrobes: it's the garment that every woman must have in her wardrobe.
The cut is narrow and the body quite long, because this sailor's knit has always been designed to be worn close to the body, especially when it was first created to keep sailors warm without getting in the way when manoeuvring boats. That's why this navy blue knit is also known as the ‘sock jumper’: it's tight-fitting and has been worn that way for over 100 years. Its Breton tradition makes it worth calling on the ancestral Breton hosiery company Le Minor, which first started making them in 1922. If you're hesitating between two sizes, opt for the smaller one. If you're not happy with a close-fitting cut, opt for our more comfortable navy jumpers: the Newport model, the fisherman's jumper... or a slimmer, softer model in plain merino.
Creation of our sailor sweater in virgin wool
This emblematic piece of marine clothing is made of 100% wool, giving a certain elasticity to our marine sweater for women. This is a real source of resistance that makes the good reputation of its natural origin. Moreover, this authentic material also allows the garment to be more breathable than those made of synthetic fabrics.
Simple and classic, this women's navy sweater will blend with ease with other pieces in your wardrobe. Whether paired with a light colored chino, jeans or even a light blue shirt, it's easy to make it stand out.
