The Sailor sweater : A must-have room for adults and young people
The history of sailor sweater is intimately linked to that of breton sailors who faced the elements. A simple, warm and resistant garment, it quickly became a must-have piece in the wardrobe of the inhabitants of the French coast. But how can we share this rich and fascinating story with the younger generation?
From their earliest age, children have an insatiable thirst to learn and discover. By offering them one sailor sweater, it's not just a garment you give them, but a story, a legacy. The sweater then becomes a way to make them touch the authenticity, tradition, and Breton culture.
The first sea sweaters were hand-picked by the women of the sailors, each family with its own motive, thus allowing to identify the body of a sailor if he were to disappear at sea. These motifs, with so particular stitches, tell stories, legends, dramas and joys.
With time sailor sweater evolved, while retaining its timeless charm. The traditional patterns have been revisited, the cuts adapted to contemporary modes, but the essence of the sweater has remained unchanged. It remains an iconic garment, merging modern and traditional.
The strength of the sailor sweater resides in his timelessness. Driven by successive generations, it transcends modes and times. Its simplicity, robustness and charm make it a garment that we love to wear, no matter how old it is.
More than just a garment, the sailor sweater has become, over time, a strong symbol of the breton identity. It evokes the sea, traditions, pride of a people. By wearing it, children feel connected to this story, to this culture, and become, in their own way, guardians of this tradition.

We find a variety of sweaters for children, from the traditional sailor sweater striped, with a pattern sweater, as well as revisited versions to suit the contemporary tastes of the youngest. Each model is designed to combine aesthetics and functionality, so that each child can find the pull that suits him.
One of the most important aspects of sailor sweater is probably the quality of the raw material. The wool, mainly used, is carefully selected to ensure not only comfort and warmth, but also durability. One sailor sweater is made to last, to be transmitted from one generation to another, and it starts with the choice of the best raw materials.
Finally, beyond fashion and style, the sailor sweater for children is a symbol, a bridge between the past and the present. By wearing this garment, children connect to a rich history, a centuries-old tradition, while affirming their own style and identity.
Transmission: The Heritage of the Sailor sweater
Transmission is at the heart of the identity of sailor sweater. It's not just a garment; it is a heritage, a testimony of an era, a culture, a history that has been shaped by generations of breton sailors. And in this spirit sailor sweater not only is it transmitted from one generation to another, as a precious family treasure.
The idea of transmission was also the cornerstone of the creation of our child range. We wanted to give the younger ones the chance to proudly wear this timeless piece, to connect to their roots, and to imbue themselves with the adventurer and indomitable spirit of Breton sailors. More than just a piece of clothing, the sailor sweater becomes for them a piece of history, a bridge between the past and the present.
But we knew that in order to truly touch the children, we needed more than just stories. The sweater had to be in their image: comfortable, dynamic, and especially resistant to their countless adventures. That is why we have invested a lot of time and effort to create a range that meets their specific needs. Each model was designed to take into account mobility, comfort and robustness.
And the returns were unanimous. The children not only adopted these sweaters, but they loved, worn, and tested in all imaginable situations. Their smiles and laughter are for us the most beautiful of the rewards, and testify to the authenticity and quality of our range.
Maintenance and Sustainability: Extend the Adventure
When we talk about sailor sweater, one often evokes its history, its symbolic, its place in the breton culture. But what truly makes the reputation of this timeless garment is its durability. Made to resist the harshest conditions encountered at sea, it was designed to last. However, even the most robust treasures require special care to keep their splendor. That is why it is essential to know good practices to maintain its sailor sweater.
The sailor sweater, with its natural fibers and carefully crafted, is an investment. It is therefore essential to cherish it as such. The first golden rule is to avoid frequent washing as much as possible. Wool is a matter that regenerates itself, naturally repelling smells and dirt. Thus, regular air framing can often be enough to cool your sweater again.
When the washing is necessary, opt for hand wash in cold water, using a special wool laundry. Immerse the sweater, let it soak for a few minutes, then gently shake it. Avoid twisting it, prefer to squeeze it delicately. For drying, spread it flat on a clean towel, away from direct sources of heat and sunlight.
Wool is a delicate fiber that can be felt or shrinked if mistreated.
Here are some tips to prolong your life sailor sweater :
- Temperature: Always wash with cold or warm water, never with hot water.
- Return: To avoid direct friction, return the sweater before washing it.
- Wire: Never suspend a wet sweater to dry it, because it could distort it. Press it gently to remove excess water.
- Storage: Put your sweater down to avoid deforming. Avoid suspending it.
- Mites: Wool is a treat for mites. Think about protecting your sweater using natural anti-mite products such as cedar balls or lavender bags.

The universe of sailor sweater is filled with centuries-old traditions. But if respect for these traditions is at the heart of our approach, it does not exclude a resolute commitment to contemporary ethics. To us, merging the authenticity of old methods with modern responsibility is more than a choice; it's a necessity.
When you choose one of our sea sweaters, you do much more than just a purchase: you choose to support local craftsmanship and French know-how. Making our sweaters in France is not just a mention on a label, it is the assurance of exceptional quality, a fair remuneration of craftsmen and an irreproachable traceability.

The sea has always been at the heart of the history of sailor sweater. It represents both the promise of adventures and the source of life. This is why we have a profound responsibility for our planet and its oceans. Our ecological commitment is not limited to words; it translates into concrete actions.
We select renewable and sustainable raw materials. The wool, the central element of our sweaters, comes from sheep raised in respect of animal well-being and the environment. In addition, we limit waste to the maximum during production, and focus on recyclable packaging and ecological dyes.
But our responsibility goes beyond production. We also sensitize our customers to the importance of taking care of their clothing to extend their lifespan and thus reduce their environmental impact.
Laine Douce au Cœur de Notre Pulls Marins
The quality of the fabric used in our children's sea sweaters is at the heart of our concerns. Aware that the skin of the youngest is delicate and sensitive, we carefully selected the wools with exceptional softness. Our choice focused on merino wool, recognized for its thermoregulatory properties, unmatched softness and delicate touch, guaranteeing optimal comfort without the slightest sensation of itching. The fine fibers of the Merino allow the skin to breathe while maintaining a pleasant heat, making the sweater a second skin, ideal for all seasons.
For those looking for a compromise between tradition and modernity, we also offer sweaters designed in a 50% acry-laine blend. This combination offers the warmth and softness of the wool while integrating the advantages of acrylic, including high wear resistance and increased softness. In addition, the addition of acrylic ensures that the sweater retains its shape over the wash, while avoiding the inconvenience of common itching with certain types of wool.
In the spirit of guaranteeing unmatched comfort for our little mussovers, we ensure that every thread, each mesh, is at the height of our requirements, in order to offer a garment that combines softness, warmth and strength.
