Full size guide →The khaki sailor sweater, an earth colour on a sea knit
The khaki sailor sweater brings together two wardrobes that long ignored each other. The construction comes from the deck knit: high collar, snug ends, no metal fastening. The colour comes from the land troops. The word khaki comes from Persian khāki, "earthy", "dusty": the British army in India first used it in 1848, and the shade attached itself to military uniform in the early years of the 20th century. Dark blue dressed the sea; khaki, the dust of the roads.
- Material: 100% lambswool, knitted
- Origin: made in Morocco
- Detail: troop shade
- Detail: civilian reading
- Detail: virgin Schoeller® lambswool
Cut and sizing
Straight cut, in the tradition of the deck knit: it leaves room for a shirt underneath without flapping. Sizes S to XXL. Take your usual size; if you hesitate, the size guide helps you decide.
How to wear a khaki sailor sweater
Under a work jacket: khaki on khaki works when the materials differ, knit underneath and canvas on top, for example under a sand moleskin jacket. With a dark trouser, a navy chino or Japanese jeans, the khaki becomes the light piece of the outfit. On its own, collar closed, in cold, dry weather. The same sweater also exists in indigo.
Care
Machine washable at home, dry cleaning is not necessary: hand wash cold, or wool cycle at 30 °C (86 °F) with a wool detergent. Do not rub or wring: press out the water, roll it in a towel, then dry flat, reshaped. Steam from a distance rather than ironing. Store folded, away from light, with cedar.
A khaki more green than beige
Our khaki is muted, more green than beige, close to troop shades. Placed on a maritime knit, it keeps all the advantages of the deck sweater without its immediate reading: you don't think of a sailor when you see it. That is why it wears more easily than the blue version, which cites the uniform more. It goes with navy, ecru and brown, and becomes the light piece of a dark outfit.
Patina and durability
In three years, this khaki sweater will have the patina of a field wool.
The construction comes from the deck knit: high collar, snug ends, no metal fastening. The colour comes from the land troops: khaki, from Persian khāki, "dusty", used by the British army in India from 1848. Knitted in virgin Schoeller lambswool. Here is how it ages.
-
dense wool, even surface, structured hold.
-
it softens at the shoulders and elbows and follows your movements.
-
arm and waist creases mark gently, without wrinkling.
-
brushing after wear lays the nap back in place and removes dust.
-
hung and aired, the wool loses creases and odors; cleaning stays rare.
-
the nap lies down in the friction zones, the color gains relief.
-
the cloth has found its shape, shoulders and collar sit right.
-
wool withstands flexing far better than cotton: the cloth lasts.
-
a well-kept cloth gains patina without wearing out; a button is sewn back, a lining is mended.
A sea knit in an earth colour: it is the sailor sweater for those who don't go to sea. Khaki warms jeans and ecru. It is the sailor sweater you haven't yet seen everywhere.
A deck knit construction
The knit is made in virgin Schoeller® lambswool, a fine fibre that resists wear and humidity: this sweater stands regular outdoor use. The collar and cuffs are knitted in double thickness. These are the two zones through which cold gets in, and the first to relax on an ordinary sweater; doubled, they gain on both counts, the thermal barrier and hold over time. The pieces are joined by linking, stitch by stitch, on a Complett HS.K VD machine. The sweater is made in Morocco.
