Comfortable and elegant knitwear for seafarers Inspired by the gansey jumpers made for fishermen This crew knit is inspired by the Gandhi sweater made for fishermen and infused with our own unique essence. The fabric is made from New Zealand merino wool, which is known for its high quality feel and warmth.
The Italian elbow patches add a touch of classic chic.
Carefully crafted in a Japanese knitwear factory with over half a century of history, it is inversely proportional, three-dimensionally shaped and soft to the touch, as opposed to the gussied-up gansey jumpers that are made in two dimensions.
This is a piece where you can feel the passion of the designer, who originally specialised in tailoring, to "make the silhouette elegant and comfortable to wear".
Exceptionally soft and supple 100% pure New Zealand merino wool.
Raised in stress-free conditions on vast grasslands, Australian Merino wool is the whitest, thinnest and most crimped of all sheep, with excellent elasticity and a distinctive sheen.
It is exceptionally soft and supple to the touch, and although it is wool, it does not feel itchy on the body.
Fine and durable elbow patches Elbow patches in Italian faux suede. The elbow patches are made of Italian faux suede, which is usually single-sided, but BRENA has chosen to use a double-sided faux suede, which is both high quality and durable.
This faux suede is also water resistant.
Unique shape born of rationality The Gandhi jumper is The Gandhi jumper is a traditional fisherman's jumper from the island of Gandhi, between England and France, made for the men who work in the fierce sea.
The knitting has been altered to increase the range of movement in the neck, shoulders and arms. The side slits at the hem are also a point of interest.
This detail was conceived to shorten the length and tighten the fit, while ensuring ease of movement.
