DESCRIPTION
Ribbed knit has a long tradition in European knitwear. It has been prized for being dimensionally stable, comfortable, and easy to move in. Italian manufacturers, in particular, have developed these lively longitudinal structures into an essential part of menswear since the 1950s.
The secret of this mariner sweater is a special rib, the Royal Rib. It is an advancement of the half-cardigan stitch and is more than just a pronounced, three-dimensional surface structure. It is a technical masterpiece that gives the garment remarkable volume, stability, and elasticity through a special needle technique, without compromising on lightness. Despite its architectural rigor, it is wonderfully soft and retains its shape.
The look of this sweater evokes the elegance of Italian yacht and club culture. With its quarter-zip closure and classic stand-up collar, it is a prime example of timeless sophistication. The zipper can be opened and closed with a TOM RIPLEY logo puller.
For this garment, TOM RIPLEY uses only the finest merino wool. This natural fiber is known for its extreme softness, natural thermoregulation, and high level of comfort.
Wear this mariner sweater over a shirt for a smart-casual look or simply over a T-shirt for relaxed elegance on the weekend. It is so comfortably soft that you can also wear it directly against your skin.
The sweater unfolds its carefree 1950s Riviera elegance particularly well in combination with tailored chinos. Those who prefer pure "quiet luxury" should combine it with medium-grey wool flannel drawstring trousers.
