Our sailor sweater in virgin wool
Authenticity and symbolism are the watchwords of our genuine navy blue sailor sweater, a staple of the Breton sailor wardrobe since 1922. Crossed throughout with white stripes, it revisits the traditions of Breton fishermen who used to dye their clothes. Iconic and timeless, this long-cut, close-fitting model is knitted in a tight knit from virgin wool yarn.
This historic sweater was originally designed to warm men on boats without hindering maneuvers. Maison Le Minor's beginnings date back to 1922, making it the oldest hosiery in the region still in business. The sailor sweater is made entirely in Guidel. If you're hesitating between two sizes, choose the smaller of the two. If you like to feel comfortable in your garment, choose our Newport and Pêcheur knitwear. And don't hesitate to discover our plain Merino wool model for added comfort.
