Andersen-Andersen

Andersen-Andersen

Andersen-Andersen designs heavy and durable knitwear. Based on traditional maritime models, they produce clothing created to be used. The focus is on long-lasting materials and a construction that retains its shape, even after long-term wear.

Merino wool knitwear

The sweaters from Andersen-Andersen are made of 100% merino wool and produced in Italy. The yarn is spun extra tightly, which gives the knit a very dense structure that insulates well. The dense spinning also means the sweater can feel substantial at first, but it will slowly shape itself to the body.

Design and fit

A characteristic detail of several of the classics, such as the Sailor sweater, is the symmetrical design. The sweater is the same on the front and back, inspired by old sailor sweaters. The fit is classic and regular, and the weight of the material makes the sweater drape straight and steadily.

FAQ

How do I wash my Andersen-Andersen knitwear?
Wool is naturally self-cleaning, so you can often just air the sweater out in the fresh air. If it needs to be washed, it should be done by hand or on a wool cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees. Always use wool detergent and let the sweater dry lying flat to maintain its shape.

How is the sizing at Andersen-Andersen?
The fit is regular. Due to the tightly spun yarn, the material gives a little less than standard knitwear. If you are between two sizes or prefer a looser fit, you may want to choose the larger one.

Does the merino wool from Andersen-Andersen itch?
Merino wool is naturally softer than regular wool. Because Andersen-Andersen spins the yarn very tightly to ensure durability, the sweater does have a slightly coarser surface. Most people can easily wear it directly against the skin, but you can always wear a t-shirt underneath if you prefer.
