This stunning sweater, featuring ribbed trims and a roll-neck with zipper, is characterized by its robust "pearl fisherman’s rib" stitch, crafted using fully fashioned knitting techniques. Made from 100% Sport Loden Wool by the esteemed Austrian spinner, Schoeller, this soft yet durable yarn matches the comfort of Merino wool but is significantly stronger. As a result, the Douwe sweater is not only rugged and warm but also easy to care for!
Rich in authentic details, the Douwe sweater draws inspiration from the heritage of RW Rooscap sailor cap, which, since 1886, has featured black accessories such as the cord, buttons, and oak leaf band. These distinctive touches have been carried over to the Douwe, with black zippers, labels, and a small black accessory added to each piece. They even incorporated historic elements into the finishing details: all borders are completed with signature stitch, once used to identify the home village of sailors or castaways, making it a beautiful detail with a rich story.
The Douwe Schipper sweater is versatile, perfect for both indoor and outdoor wear, and pairs easily with numerous styles. Thanks to its rugged look and luxurious material, it’s suitable for any time of day and throughout the year. Though often seen as a winter fabric, wool is actually temperature-regulating, keeping you warm without causing discomfort. So, whether you’re in a hurry cycling to work or simply enjoying a winter’s day outside, the Douwe sweater will keep you perfectly comfortable.
Produced from Schoeller’s sustainable wool, this sweater benefits from the strength of wool that withstands even seawater, without sacrificing softness. With a balance of comfort, durability, and timeless style, the Douwe Schipper Sweater embodies quality and craftsmanship in every stitch.
