ANDE-SHZ - Andersen-Andersen - Sailor Half Zip

Designed by Andersen-Andersen in Denmark, the “Sailor” half-zip uses a 7-gauge pure wool knit to create a medium-to-heavy-weight sweater for colder seasons and climates.

Knitted and linked in Italy, this model is fitted with a YKK zippered collar that can be opened for ventilation or fully zipped to provide a neckwarmer in colder weather. For added versatility, the sleeve ribbing has been extended to incorporate thumb holes, allowing the cuffs to be folded at the wrist or pulled down over the hands for extra warmth when temperatures drop.

As for the wool itself, Andersen-Andersen’s signature yarn is made from mulesing-free, 100% pure new wool sourced from Corriedale sheep in Patagonia. The fibres are carefully cleansed and worsted to remove broken and short fibres before being given an extra spin to produce a denser, more durable yarn that is far less likely to pill. Once knitted, this creates a substantial garment with exceptional strength and durability, built to withstand years of wear.
