A skipper jumper is practical
The fisherman's sweater was specially designed to protect skippers against the unpredictable weather on the water. Originally they were woollen turtlenecks with a button fastening that fitted comfortably under a skipper's jacket. Nowadays a fisherman's sweater is also known as a half-zip or zipper because in most cases the buttons have been replaced by a zip in a stand-up collar. In addition, there are versions in which cotton, polyester and stretch (elastane) are worked into the fabric. Still, it remains a warm sweater ideal to wear during winter or bleak autumn and spring days. Too warm? Then you unzip the sweater to cool down.
Peacoats you can rely on
Someone who used to wear a handmade fisherman's sweater from his wife could get through his whole life with it. Even though we nowadays have a stack of half-zips in the wardrobe, they're still sweaters that can take a beating. This means you can enjoy a men's fisherman's sweater for years. In addition, the >woollen variants are ecologically responsible. Wool is, after all, a sustainable raw material that is not only hard-wearing and self-cleaning, but also 100% biodegradable. So it's not surprising that fisherman's sweaters are often worn during outdoor activities.
Peacoat sweaters are effortlessly stylish
A fisherman's sweater is a versatile garment that you can easily work into layered outfits. Besides relaxed days with family and friends, you can also wear them perfectly well at the office. Combine the half-zip with a shirt and tie for a luxurious business casual look. A fisherman's sweater over a basic T-shirt and your favourite jeans create a playful, casual look. In addition, they look stylish with both smart men's shoes and stylish sneakers. The contrast between the rugged appearance of the zipper and other garments gives you a striking outfit with a raw edge.
