Stormy winds whip salt off the crashing waves as the small fishing boats take shelter in the stone harbour. The clouds rumble in from the night as the hardworking fisherman battle through the elements and pull on their trusty, jumpers and take refuge next to the warm crackling fire in the village pub.
The Cornish fishermen are considered to be among the hardiest and venturesome of the south coast, our Ahab Submariner is inspired by these men and refined with the classic details you’ve grown to love. Our navy knit is made from a responsibly sourced wool blend creating a soft and warm garment that isn’t itchy and will age gracefully with time.
The asymmetrical neckline can be worn down creating a beautifully timeless silhouette, with button details down the left shoulder. During colder weather, the collar can be buttoned up into a roll-neck style for extra warmth.
We recommend wearing the Ahab Submariner with our Raw Elder Henley and classic New Frontier Jeans with some brown leather Drover boots.
The quality of the knitwear is amazing and the sizing is perfect.
Cornish tradition collides with classic novel...
Origins
When designing this jumper, Phil was hugely inspired by Captain Ahab, the fictional character and one of the main protagonists in Herman Melville's “MobyDick”. The neurotic captain of the whaling ship and the traditional jumpers worn by the tough and rugged Cornish fisherman made the perfect springboard for our very own Ahab Submariner.
