DESCRIPTION
Ribbed knit has a long tradition in European knitwear. It has long been valued for being shape-retentive, comfortable, and easy to move in. Italian manufacturers, in particular, have made these lively longitudinal structures a staple of men's fashion since the 1950s.
The secret of this mariner sweater is a special rib, the Royal Rib. It is a further development of the tuck stitch and 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 holds its shape.
The look of this sweater is reminiscent of 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 weekend elegance. 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 when combined with tailored chinos. For those who prefer pure "quiet luxury," combine it with mid-grey wool flannel drawstring trousers.
