The button placket is a mess
Made in France while dreaming of the sea
Fresh wool
First things first, there’s the wool. Virgin, raised on the wide-open plains of Patagonia — this is the kind of raw material you don’t mess around with. At 26 microns, it hits that sweet spot: serious strength without itching. It’s the stuff the big French marine houses swear by. Long fibre, tightly knit, built to last decades, not seasons.
Truly zero defects
This isn’t just a warm, itch-free jumper. It’s a no-fuss, no-fluff, no-bobble garment. Thanks to those long, dense Patagonian fibres, bobbles will be kept to a bare minimum. And the tighter knit? It keeps its shape without sagging. You’ll age before it does. A real sea dog of a jumper.
Gallic knitting
Born and raised in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, your Sailor Jumper is knitted by the legends at La Manufacture de Tricots in France. With four decades’ worth of know-how in their blood, they’ve nailed the brief: a fitted cut that doesn’t restrict you. Proper gallic effort this.
Finally, a jumper with some weight
This thing clocks in at 840g. That’s nearly a kilo of pure, raw wool. When you put it on, you feel it. It’s not just warm — it’s anchored. Like a lighthouse keeper’s coat. Like a cabin in the middle of a storm. The kind of jumper that doesn’t blink at the cold and doesn’t lose its shape.
Loose at the base, tight where it counts
Down below, we’ve loosened the ribbing ever so slightly to give you more room to move — no riding up, no stiffness. But the mission stays unchanged: no unwelcome drafts and no loss of warmth. This classic 1x1 ribbing holds the fort. Tight. Sharp. Storm-proof.
The sailor’s signature buttonhole
A sailor’s jumper without the shoulder buttoning? Unthinkable. On the left shoulder: four French-made, bio-based horn-effect buttons. Not just a nice touch — it’s a nod to old-school functionality. Sailors used to pop them open for ventilation while working. Now? It’s the seal of the real deal.
French quality that’s earned its stripes
This might be the most proudly French item we’ve ever made. Sourced, knitted, and finished right here — with a low-impact footprint and high-impact style. Call it heritage. Call it craftsmanship. Call it your new go-to every winter for the next 30 years.
A new piece of heritage
This jumper isn’t just for you. It’s for whoever comes next. We’ve built it to last, to carry memories, and to survive every road trip, beach walk, and blustery Sunday from here to who knows when. We stop short of “heirloom” — but it’s not far off.
