Made in England · 100% Pure British Wool · Traditional Roll Neck

The Klaver Submariner is a woollen jumper with a purpose.

Knitted from 100% Pure British Wool, this traditional roll neck takes its design from the heavy wool jumpers issued to Royal Navy personnel during the Second World War.

The high roll neck provides warmth around the neck, while the deep ribbed hem and turn-back cuffs help keep out cold air. The longer body and substantial wool construction give this jumper the dependable, protective feel that made the original Submariner such an enduring piece of British naval knitwear.

Simple, practical and built for cold conditions, it is a piece of clothing whose design has changed very little because it never really needed to.

That original purpose still defines the jumper today.

About the Fabric

OUR BRITISH WOOL

Our British Wool yarn comes from Shepley Yarns, a family-owned business based in Diggle, Saddleworth in the heart of the Pennine mountain range. Over the past 300 years the area has been renowned for it's manufacturing of quality woollen and worsted products.

The wool is sourced from sheep across the British Isles, with each fleece graded for qualities including handle, fibre fineness, colour, length and strength.

British wool has a natural crimp that helps it retain its shape and creates tiny pockets of air within the fibre, providing natural insulation while remaining breathable.

The result is a robust, versatile wool with the durability to give years of comfortable wear.

100% Pure British Wool sourced from non-mulesed flocks.

Wash & Care

• Can be hand washed in lukewarm water

HANDWASH GUIDANCE

Turn the garment inside out, then wash in clean, lukewarm water, using a mild detergent. Allow to soak for around 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water, followed by cold water and then dry flat.

Wool doesn’t need as much washing as other materials because it’s naturally stain and odour resistant, so wool products can often be refreshed simply by hanging outside on a breezy day.

By absorbing moisture, wool reduces the amount of sweat on the body, helping to keep the skin drier and preventing the build-up of sweat and bacteria.
Wool is naturally stain and water repellent, but after a few minutes, liquid will begin to soak into the fabric.

To spot clean stains, use warm water and mild detergent to soak the stained area and blot with a soft cloth.

BORN BELOW DECK

The white woollen submariner's jumper became an unmistakable part of Royal Navy submarine clothing during the Second World War.

Knitted in heavy wool, with a high polo neck and deep ribbed cuffs and hem, it was designed to provide warmth in the cold, confined conditions aboard a submarine.

These weren't simply details of style. The close-fitting neck and substantial wool construction helped keep the wearer warm in cold working conditions.

The design became closely associated with the submariner's identity, setting him apart from the wider Royal Navy.

Warm, practical and unmistakable. A piece of naval working clothing that has stood the test of time.
