The design of the sweater is based on the submariner, a turtleneck sweater originally worn by British submarine fighters, which has become a permanent classic of men’s style.

Instead of traditional lambswool, we made it from the Andean gold: 100% Fine Special quality alpaca wool. This rare, high quality fibre feels comfortable against the skin, is warmer than regular lambswool and stays clean even in heavy use, being naturally stain and odour resistant. The knit is a sturdy but pleasantly flexible 4-ply rib that has been used in our Shawl Collar cardigan for many years.

The Ultimate Submariner knit

It’s exactly what I expected when I purchased the Vesikko, great fit and if I had one criticism, it seemed a little short for a tall man at first…but it’s not! Fits perfectly. The knit really does soften after a couple of wears and is very soft around the neck…although if you have a couple days stubble on your neck, it tends to scratch on the yarn and fluff up a bit! Overall, absolutely worth every penny. Extremely warm, comfortable and I shall be buying another colour!

Soft, fit and warm

My new VESIKKO turtleneck, off-white is SO nice to wear!. It’s heavy because of it’s soft wool knitwear. Due to the knitting pattern it’s smooth and body fit. It’s just like I hoped: The classic british navy sweater with turtleneck, not itchy from ordinary wool, but soft from the alpaca wool.

VESIKKO turtleneck, navy

I received my beautiful sweater just in time for Xmas. The quality is super. The Alpaca wol is really great quality and comfortable to wear. I would highly recommend these products. I was complimented on it by a stylist from a A brand out of the blue when I first wore it. Lauri also personally followed up with me on shipping when I asked him about timing (As just before the holidays that is always a challenge).

Beautiful knitwear

I am so happy that i bought this Submariner. The Off-White is beautiful. I was surprised by how heavy this knitwear actually is. And by how warm it is also. It was a bit itchy at first, but as advertised, it gets softer and softer the more one wears it. The sleeves have a perfect length (THANK YOU !), as also has the turtle neck which allows to unroll it up to the ears if you want to. The fabric seems incredibly solid, but still i do not let my cat express his satisfaction on it… I gather this submariner is one of those clothes you keep and use during years and years, if not decades. Since I bought this one and am so happy with it, i have also ordered the new Crew Neck and i can’t wait to try it.
