Sailor Turtleneck

Designed in Denmark, 2010

The Sailor Turtleneck by Andersen & Andersen is a medium-weight, symmetrical knit sweater with a clear purpose. Developed for use in cold weather, this model has been worn for years by crews and students on the Danish training ship – designed for warmth, durability, and reliability.

Made from pure, new virgin wool from Corriedale sheep in Patagonia. The yarn is dyed and spun in Italy, then knitted and linked there as well. The compact, fully fashioned construction on a flat knitting machine ensures high shape retention and a long service life.

The half-cardigan stitch gives the sweater structure and substance, while reinforced assemblies with bar tacks secure the areas subject to the most wear. Extended sleeve cuffs with thumb holes enhance comfort in cold and windy conditions.

An honest work and everyday sweater – functional, clear, and timeless.
