The authentic Breton fisherman's jumper for men
The men's fisherman's jumper is one of the rare pieces of men's clothing to have survived the ages, from the Navy to luxury brands. This sweater, called a sweater in the 18th century, was made by merchants to combat the cold and wind during the garlic and onion trade between Brittany and England. This sweater was later adopted by the French Navy. It was there that the sailor sweater made its appearance to differentiate sailors from officers. Its timeless nautical style has been reinvented as a striped sweater, but its success is still due to its quality and its practical and comfortable function. At Armor-Lux, we have been making the authentic Breton sweater for 80 years. The men's fisherman's jumper is as comfortable as a sweatshirt and can be worn in any season.
