Full size guide →The indigo sailor sweater, between workshop and deck
The indigo sailor sweater crosses two wardrobes. The construction comes from the deck knit: high collar, snug ends, no metal fastening, so nothing that catches and nothing that rusts. The colour comes from the workshop. Indigo is the blue of denim and of the blue work jacket, the shade you spontaneously associate with workers' clothes: from the 19th century, blue became the colour of the working world. This sweater therefore belongs as much to the work wardrobe as to the maritime one, and that is what makes it so easy to match with raw cloth.
- Material: 100% lambswool, knitted
- Origin: made in Morocco
- Detail: workshop indigo
- Detail: livelier than a navy
- Detail: virgin Schoeller® lambswool
Cut and sizing
Straight cut, inherited from 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 an indigo sailor sweater
With denim, two indigos of different depth: Japanese jeans darker or more faded than the sweater, never the exact tone on tone. Over a white poplin shirt, collar out, the contrast brings out the depth of the indigo. Under a khaki or sand work jacket, the sweater returns to the workshop wardrobe its colour comes from.
Care
Machine washable at home: hand wash cold, or wool cycle at 30 °C (86 °F) with a wool detergent, separately for the first washes. 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 blue that changes with the light
Navy is a neutral, closed blue. Indigo leans toward violet and keeps a depth that shifts with the lighting: almost dark indoors, brighter in the sun. It therefore looks less uniform and livelier than a blue sailor sweater, while staying discreet. A wardrobe made of jeans, chambray and work jackets finds a sweater from the same family.
Patina and durability
In three years, this indigo will have changed with every light.
The construction comes from the deck: high collar, snug cuffs, nothing that catches or rusts. The colour comes from the workshop: the indigo of denim and of the blue work jacket. Livelier than a navy, it leans toward violet and shifts with the light. Knitted in virgin Schoeller lambswool. Here is how it lives.
-
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.
Navy is well-behaved, indigo has character. It is the sailor sweater for those who wear denim every day and want a blue that answers it. Between the workshop and the deck, it is at home everywhere.
A deck knit construction
The knit is made in virgin Schoeller® lambswool, a fine fibre that resists wear and humidity. The collar and cuffs are knitted in double thickness: these are the areas through which cold gets in, and the first to relax on an ordinary sweater. Doubled, they stay firm after several seasons. The pieces are joined by linking, stitch by stitch, on a Complett HS.K VD machine, for supple seams that follow the knit. The sweater is made in Morocco.
