TESTIMONIALS
"Mountains for the mountains" - Best Ski Sweaters, GQ
"The fabrics are all-natural and hard wearing, and the cut is Saville Row." - Men's Journal
Designed by Tradition
During the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's, ski knitwear was the gear of choice for gate crashers whose passion, attitude, and on-snow technique endeared them to mountain towns the world over.
Forged Performance
With a tailored crew-neck silhouette, and a heavy-gauge knit, the Ski Race Knit is an ideal choice for mid-layer insulation, or spring skiing outerwear. A water repellent exterior coating keeps you warm and dry .
A Forgotten Art
With a nostalgic mountain graphic, heavy-gauge yarns, and water repellent coating, the Ski Race Knit embodies the panache and personality of alpine sports’ racer elites from the past and present.
