How do you wash the Women's Submariner Jumper?

Hand wash only. Do not machine wash; pull it gently into shape while damp and dry it flat.

What colours does the Women's Submariner come in?

Six: Navy, Ecru, Light Grey, Mushroom, Black and Red.

Does merino wool pill?

Less than most knits. Fine merino fibres pill lightly at first at wear points, and the bobbles lift off easily with a cashmere comb.

Is 100% merino wool warm?

Yes. Merino insulates even when damp and breathes indoors, which is why it outperforms synthetic knits through a British winter.

Women's Jumpers

Gloverall's women's jumpers follow the same rule as the coats they sit under: the right wool, made in England, built for years of wear. The range centres on one style done properly rather than a wall of options, and it is knitted from 100% merino wool for warmth without itch.

The Women's Submariner Jumper

The Women's Submariner takes the heavy wool jumpers issued to Royal Navy submariners and refits the proportions for women. It is knitted in England from 100% merino wool with ribbed cuffs and hem, in a regular fit that layers cleanly. It comes in six colours, Navy, Ecru, Light Grey, Mushroom, Black and Red, in sizes XS to 2XL. Hand wash, dry flat, and it will outlast the trend cycle several times over.

Wearing It

Under a Freda or Monty duffle coat the Submariner is the warmest pairing Gloverall makes; over a shirt with the collar out it does smart-casual without trying. The red is the sleeper pick: naval enough to feel right, rare enough that nobody else at the table has it.
