This striped cotton sweater is short-cut and slightly fitted at the waist. The horizontally-striped knitted top is inspired by the traditional French sailor's sweater, which was introduced as part of the naval uniform with its standard 21 stripes in 1858.

"Armor" is the word for sea in the Breton language, and "lux" can only mean the light on the coast. In any case, many of the garments produced by Armor lux still have a maritime character today - sweaters and shirts, dresses, pants, hats, caps and scarves. Founded by a Swiss man in Quimper at the end of the 1930s, the company combines simple, comfortable cuts, classic colors and uncompromising quality in terms of materials and workmanship.
