Detail: The Harbour Sweater, a lightweight long-sleeved pullover, knitted from cotton and Linen. They took inspiration from the jerseys worn by dockworkers in the Port of Hamburg around the early 20th century. They needed garments that were highly durable yet lightweight, so as not to overheat while loading and unloading ships.

Blend: 70% Cotton 30% Linen. To try and capture this original spirit, we have opted for a fine 8-gauge knit, which is perfect for wearing over a light layer, or directly against the skin. The sleeves and collar have been hand-stitched to the body and the precision of this craft is evident in each piece. There are quicker ways to make jumpers, but they don't yield the same results. Finally, we have left the edges raw as a further nod to the workwear of old.
Fit:

Care: Their wool has natural oils and is self cleaning. Just hang it outside in fresh air for a night. If you still want to machine wash it wash at 86°F degrees wool cycle in a half full machine and use wool detergent.
