The cotton of choice for personalities from Queen Victoria and Edward VIII to prominent fashion designers, this sea island cotton has been grown in the West Indies for over 300 years and is famous for its length (50% longer than traditional cotton fibers), resulting in a fabric that is stronger and softer than any other cotton. Seeds are passed down through generations of growers, and the extended growing season of Barbados and Jamaica allows the two ply cotton yarn time to mature and lengthen so it feels more like cashmere than cotton. Breathable enough to wear year-round, the v-neck sweater is 100% sea island cotton (unlike others that are mixed with traditional cotton) and has a saddle shoulder and ribbed cuffs. Woven in Italy. Machine washable. Specify Black, Red, or Blue. Available in men's sizes M (40-42), L (44-46), XL (48), XXL (50).
