Story A rebellious layer that bucks traditional cable-knit looks The cable-knit sweater got its start in the fishing communities on the Aran Islands that lie just at the edge of Ireland’s Galway Bay. Back in the day, the intricate design of every fisherman's sweater was unique to his family, and each household had a signature pattern of stitches with a special meaning. Over time, its handsome look gained widespread popularity, and these days the style is a venerated classic. This special Patchwork sweater from Schott has a rugged edge, with a tasteful mix of cable-knit pieces blended together in a cool faded wash. Features Heavyweight cut Unique stonewashed finish for a vintage, broken-in look Intricate patchwork cable knit patterns Classic crewneck for a timeless fit Ribbed cuffs, hem, and collar Materials 100% Cotton Imported Sizing Fits true to size Care Do not machine wash Hang dry About Schott Schott jackets have a cult-like fanbase for a whole host of reasons we don't even have the space to cover. But for starters, they are the real-deal OGs of the leather jacket world; we mean it. Their history stretches back far and their influence is without equal. They were the first manufacturer ever to put a zipper on a jacket. A zipper! Back in 1913, Schott motorcycle jackets defined the look as we know it today. Then in 1953, with the release of Marlon Brando's leather-clad turn in “The Wild One,” the moto jacket’s popularity and association with badassery only grew. From there, the Schott leather jacket's connection to youth culture was cemented by the likes of James Dean, and later, The Ramones, along with the early punk scene of downtown New York. We could go on and on about how Schott bomber jackets are still worn by today's rock stars and rebels. But maybe the most persuasive testament to Schott is our own devotion. Our leather jackets are our second skin.
