Saint James Navy Officer sweater: navy worsted wool

Description

Why choose this navy sweater in worsted wool?

Designed for both navy maneuvers and outdoor outings, this navy sweater combines insulation, breathability and elegance. Its French combed wool protects against coastal winds, while the 2×2 rib knit naturally wicks away moisture. The result: stable thermal comfort with no “steamy” effect, whether it’s raining in the navy version or the Breton sun is breaking through.

The advantages of the pure wool sailor sweater: material, cut, manufacture

1. 100% pure French worsted wool: high density, light water-repellent effect and exemplary durability.
2. Re-knit round collar: neat finish, zero chafing under a vest or harness.
3. Sturdy canvas shoulder & elbow pads: protected wear zones, officer-style fabrication.
4. Pen pocket on left sleeve: a functional nod to navy uniforms.
5. Fitted cut: follows the silhouette without restricting your movements on deck or in town.
6. Average weight 2 kg: guarantees wire density and warmth while remaining easy to handle.

French knitting expertise from Saint James since 1850

Born in the village of Saint-James, this sailor sweater perpetuates a unique French knitting know-how. The knitting workshop, which has been awarded the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (Living Heritage Company) label, makes every piece on site: from spinning the wool to making the wool sweater. Every sweater knitted in France for over 170 years supports responsible production and a commitment to French manufacturing.

The genuine sailor sweater reinvented: tradition and modernity

Inspired by the real sweater worn by fishermen in Brittany, this plain sailor sweater ensures warmth and durability. Buttons on the shoulders recall the historic buttoning, while the stretchy hemline preserves the shape of the classic garment after every sail.
