Sweater Officer Le Minor Marine Nationale (100% wool)

DESCRIPTION OF THE NAVY NATIONAL SWEATER

A real military sweater for naval officers, consistent with the one Le Minor made for years for "the Royal", knitted in pure irshrinkable wool, with shoulder reinforcements and shoulder pads. With its authentic manufacture, this sweater has always had a good place in the collections of Le Minor hosiery. Robust, this navy blue military sweater for men withstands all the weather and trials of life. The military style has long permeated fashion, it has a style that pleases far beyond its primary function.

COMPOSITION OF THE NATIONAL NAVY SWEATER

Made for more than 40 years for the French Navy, this knitwear contains details that are as many witnesses of the textile know-how that Le Minor fights to keep in France. The mix between textile and knitting first: the shoulder pads and shoulder reinforcements, in firecloth, are sewn with double needle machines, scrupulously following the rib of the sweater. A helping hand that can only be acquired after several years of training. The collar of the sweater is remeshed: that is to say that the mesh of the sweater is reopened by means of a machine that has several hundred needles, to reattach the collar to the body by sewing it inside the mesh. This ensures a clean finish and foolproof solidity. This last rare and precious know-how, now reserved for the luxury industry (as training costs and execution times are important) is still perpetuated today at Le Minor.

LOOKBOOK OF THE NATIONAL MARINE SWEATER

This authentic model of men's sweater, from the uniform of naval officers, is a concentrate of history, and a resistant "work" garment. Its technical details (shoulder reinforcements, shoulder pads, badge holder, pen pocket) make it possible to structure this sweater, and recalls the difficult conditions it originally had to face. Classic of the men's wardrobe by Le Minor, it fits perfectly into a daily outfit. We love it for its structure and technical details, but also for its foolproof robustness and warmth.
