THE U-BOAT is a classicNautical Roll Neck Sweater.

Knitted from a full kilogram of premium virgin wool, this weighty roll neck is Heimats take on the classic submariners jumper, worn above and below the waves during WWII.

Not only is the wool heavy, but so is the gauge s a hearty 5-gauge knit thats designed to keep you warm on even the coldest of days. Made from extra-long fibres, its highly resistant to pilling and will look continue to look fantastic even after years of regular wear, and unlike most knitwear producers we leave the natural oils in the wool yarn, meaning the jumpers have self-cleaning and water-resistant properties.

The sleeves and collar are attached by hand, which is more time consuming and labour intensive than using a standard machine stitch but results in a superior finish.

Heimat sweaters have a lot of stretch, buy your normal size they will sit a bit slim on the body when you wear them first but will break in just like your favourite pair of denim.
