Online Store Buy your Armor-Lux sailor sweater SEA SWEATER, navy sweater. Warm, knitted in a dense and thick wool ... the sailor sweater, the real one, the unique one. The sailor sweater is just like the waxed one, a clothing accessory that smells of the sea, the spray and possibly some somewhat capricious Breton summers. But where does this sailor sweater come from? In France, the chronicle places its birth at the time of the coarse shirts in raw wool that the fishermen, especially Bretons, put on like a second skin when they left for Newfoundland or Iceland and that it was necessary to protect oneself from everything. Spray, wind, cold, frost ... Au fil du temps, la maille se fit plus serrée pour mieux isoler et rendre imperméable ce vêtement de laine qu'on allait aussi appeler chandail par une curieuse déclinaison phonique. Elle serait peut-être liée aux Johnnies, ces pêcheurs ou paysans bretons qui traversaient la Manche pour aller vendre l'ail et l'oignon aux Anglais. Et c'est parce qu'ils parcouraient parfois les rues en criant "Marchand d'ail" que leur vêtement de laine finit par être baptisé "chandail" en référence sonore à leur technique de vente ambulante. Et bien avant cela, ce vêtement d'homme avait été colonisé par les femmes, dans des coloris dépassant largement le bleu traditionnel. Because it is a timeless garment now worn by the greatest number of people in the world, Armor Lux wanted to develop a very wide range. Men, women, children, everyone can now find a sailor sweater in their size, striped or not. Styles abound. And they're all at Armor Lux. These three buttons became highly identifiable. To be attractive, this Franco-English version is however less likely than that attesting that it was at the Halles de Paris that the garlic merchants gave a more French version to the sweater, an English term meaning that it is a garment that we remove from the top. Dans la Marine nationale, aussi, le pull marin fit partie de l'uniforme des engagés comme des appelés qui trouvaient dans cet accessoire joliment taillé une consolation à l'obligation d'aller servir sous les drapeaux et d'affronter le mal de mer. The sailor sweater spun its wool for a few decades before experiencing its heyday in the 60s and 70s when the impressive explosion of yachting made the sailor sweater a fashion accessory, stamped by the presence of three buttons on the side. They were there to facilitate the opening because by the simple collar, the head was sometimes difficult to pass. These three buttons became identities and the momentum given continued well beyond pleasure since designers put the sailor sweater on catwalks all over the world. With or without stripes.
