North Sea Clothing The Submariner Roll Neck Wool Jumper Ecru

North Sea Clothing is known for manufacturing some of the best knitted wool garments around. The founder Neil Starr has a long background of selling vintage menswear and this way he came to recognize what good quality is, so when the classic Submariner wool sweater started to get hard to find he decided to bring this iconic piece back to production once again!

The Original Submariner jumpoer was issued for the British Royal Navy in both WW1 and WW2, it was used by the North Atlantic convoys to keep out the bitter chill and RAF pilots would wear one under an Irvin flight jacket.

Post 1945, motorcyclists adopted submariner jumpers for insulation beneath jackets made of leather or waxed cotton. The North Sea Clothing Submariner has the same drop shoulder and the same neck reinforcement as the original from the Royal Navy.

The wide knitted waistband might be the detail we love the most. It gives a snug fit, keeps that chilly breeze out, making sure to keep you warm. At a really cold winter day you will understand why this kind of jumper was used by sir Edmund Hillary and his expedition crew when climbing Mount Everest in 1953. 

Douglas is 180 cm tall, weighs 85 kg and wears size 44. Combining the knit with a pair of well loved Orslow Herringbone Trousers, White's Semi Dress boots and in the last pictures a vintage Barbour international jacket from the 1950s.

Ebba is 158 cm tall and wears size 34. Combining the knit with a pair of, Indigofera Roslyn Jeans.
