Dark navy turtleneck sweater - 1923 Turtle Neck Dark Navy Pike Brothers

The turtleneck sweater has a long history dating back to the 19th century. Originally designed as a practical work garment, the turtleneck became popular in England and the United States during the 19th century, particularly among sailors who needed protection from the cold. The high collar, often folded or rolled, served as additional insulation.

In the 20th century, the turtleneck sweater broke through into the world of fashion. In the 1920s, athletes and artists wore it for a look that was both elegant and practical. It was particularly in the 1960s, when figures such as Steve McQueen and Audrey Hepburn wore it, that the turtleneck became a symbol of understated style. Today it is a versatile garment that can be worn in both formal and informal settings.

The version offered here is inspired by a US Navy submariner's sweater from the 1920s–30s.

Its cut is timeless and it continues to be worn to this day. It is extremely warm; its slim fit and high collar are perfect for facing the rigours of winter, the mountains or the sea.

Merino wool makes it incredibly soft. Warm and comfortable, it is ideal for winter.

It pairs perfectly with the N1 Deck Jacket.
