SIZING/FIT

explains how we size and measure our garments.
The MARINER Rollneck Sweater, in both indigo and black, comes pre-shrunk and is ready-to-wear as-is. No soaking required.
This garment is considered true-to-size. At ~57 & 145 Lbs, I opted for a SMALL, for a classic period boxy fit, with the waistband sitting at the natural waist.
Again, this is a period fit that may not work for one only comfortable with more modern and contemporary silhouettes, or with specific body proportions.
The MARINER cable knit pattern allows for generous horizontal (crosswise) stretch, with average natural recovery (= the knits ability to return to its initial size after being stretched.) Therefore, measurements can be a bit misleading, as with all stretchy knit garments.
We recommend sticking to your usual MF size with this sweater. If you are a Medium in mfsc shirting, you are more-likely a Medium in the MARINER.
To save on unnecessary frustration and size swap shipping fees, please reach out to [email protected] to tune-in sizing if unsure. Please do provide body type and measurements, silhouette expectation, and, if available, measurements of a similar garment you own that fits according to your style.

CARE

Turn sweater inside out. Machine wash on DELICATE, cold water, mild eco-friendly detergent. Air dry flat on a clean towel, or hang dry on a well-padded hanger to avoid shoulder stretching.
Wash with similarly-colored garments. Indigo tends to bleed on light-colored garments/furniture.
Do not use the washers heavy-duty cycle. Heat dryer is also not recommended and may result in excessive shrinkage.

Ideal for those chilly days when you need an extra layer
