1941 USN Seaman Sweater – 100% Merino – Olive – Pike Brothers

The iconic sailor's sweater worn by the US Navy during World War II. A classic and timeless knit sweater that combines historical accuracy with modern quality.

This sweater is made from 100% merino wool, which provides superior warmth and insulation while being naturally temperature-regulating and breathable. The wool quality has been chosen to recreate the feel and functionality of the original sweaters worn by the Navy in the 40s, but with the characteristic softness of merino wool against the skin.

The design follows the original World War II specification with an authentic fit that is intended to be snug and short. This was crucial for sailors who needed an insulating layer that would not interfere with work on deck. The sweater features a classic round neck with a sturdy ribbed knit and includes an authentic specification label on the inside. Due to the historically accurate, snug cut, it is recommended to go up one size if you prefer a more modern and relaxed fit.
