Product information
Saint James Matelot 1 R - marine/Austral
This legendary classic is an evergreen at Saint James and is known to many generations of fishermen. It is so tightly woven that neither wind nor salt water can harm it. It fits close to the body so it won't snag, and it's long enough that it won't ride up. At the same time, the highly twisted wool is so elastic that it fits like a second skin.
This quality also has its weight, as no less than 23 meters of wool are needed to make one Matelot sweater. This means that 3 matelot sweaters can be made from the fleece of one sheep. The finished sweater weighs 2 pounds and has gone through 18 steps from knitting to packing. The wool is first knitted into courses on the looms, the configuration and supervision of which is done by the knitting masters. After knitting, the webs are steamed to stabilize them. Particularly, its material stabilization is also done by flattening the webs on racks for 72 hours.
The robust Matelot is a sweater for life. Made for the rigors of everyday fishing, this authentic and rugged classic is built to last.
