The troyers, which are particularly popular in a maritime environment and are usually patent-knitted, are characterized by a three-dimensional knitting pattern that gives them a distinctive look. It also makes them permeable to air, which prevents sweating. Armor lux produces this troyer from two-tone yarns, which also create a lively melange effect. The material, pure wool, is soft and warm. Rib-knitted cuffs finish the sleeves and body.

“Armor” is the Breton word for “sea,” and “lux” can only refer to the light on the coast. To this day, many of the garments produced by Armor lux retain a maritime character—sweaters and shirts, dresses, pants, hats, caps, and scarves. Founded in Quimper in the late 1930s by a Swiss entrepreneur, the company combines simple, comfortable cuts, classic colors, and uncompromising quality in both materials and craftsmanship. A significant portion of the collection is still manufactured at the company’s headquarters in France— Armor lux also operates production facilities in other countries.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
