Returns
This sweater is a faithful reproduction of a late 1940s French Army piece, capturing the distinctive style and functionality of post-war military clothing. Designed with an eye for historical detail, it reflects the simplicity and practicality typical of the era while offering a timeless look that suits both vintage and contemporary wardrobes.
It’s made from soft, washed British wool — a material chosen for its warmth, durability, and comfort. The washing process gives the wool a slightly worn-in feel, making the sweater feel familiar from the first wear while maintaining a structured, high-quality finish.
Offered in two carefully selected colourways, Old Red and Army Green, the palette nods to classic military tones. Old Red is a deep, subdued shade that resembles the natural fading seen in aged garments, while Army Green is a staple olive tone with strong vintage associations.
The fit is true to the original design, with a slim body and slightly shorter length. This makes it ideal for layering under outerwear or pairing with high-waisted trousers. The styling is minimal and understated, allowing it to integrate easily into both modern and heritage-inspired outfits.
These sweaters are cut generously, so if you’re after a closer, more tailored fit, it’s recommended to size down. For those who prefer a more relaxed silhouette, sticking with your usual size will provide a comfortable, slightly looser fit.
Made in England, each sweater reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, offering a garment that is as functional as it is stylish.
