NSC SUBMARINER - NAVY
£180.00
The Original Submariner sweater was War Office issue to the Royal Navy in both WW1 and WW2, and was used by the North Atlantic convoys to keep out the bitter chill.
Regular Fit
RAF pilots used them under an Irvin flight jacket. Post 1945, motorcyclists adopted submariner sweaters for insulation beneath leather and waxed cotton outer jackets. This North Sea Clothing original Submariner has the same drop shoulder and the same neck reinforcement as the Original Royal Navy Issue sweaters.
Environmental Disposable culture contributes to landfill and CO2 emissions. Quality wool is about robust construction and robust good looks: this means it’ll last, and you’ll want it to last. Wool is sustainable. Sheep produce new fleeces each year. It’s biodegradable. Discarded natural wool fibres take only a few years to decompose, where most synthetics are much slower to degrade. Wool is a Breathable Insulator Wool is one of the most effective materials for all-weather clothing. It helps keep you warm when you’re cold, and it releases heat and moisture when you’re hot. Wool Fits The natural elasticity of wool helps a garment keep its shape. You can bend one fibre 20,000 times and it won’t break. Wool stretches with the wearer and fibres return to the original formation. Wool is Safe Wool has a naturally high UV protection, much higher than cotton and most synthetics. Wool is also, due to its high water and nitrogen content, naturally flame retardant. It has a higher ignition threshold than many other fibres. Easy Care Natural wool has a wonderful hue and is colourfast when dyed. Wool fibres have a protective layer that helps prevent the absorption of stains. Wool also picks up less dust than other fibres, as it’s static-resistant.
Our selection of knitwear is ideal for a relaxed autumnal outer layer, or for layering under waterproof/insulated shells and gilets for more challenging winter weather.
