The Story

During the early-to-mid 1900s, skiing leapt forward from a method of mountain travel with militaristic origins to a novel means of recreation, generating an aura of exclusivity, glamor and fashion that appealed to the royalty, nobility, and celebrities of the times. Participation from highly visibility individuals of significant wealth, fame, and political stature gave rise to skiing's association with modern celebrity culture.

Emblazoned with a crest of Winter Royalty, Alps & Meters’ Ski Race Knit Monarch conveys a story of alpine sports’ first celebrity personalities, their passion for skiing, and their highly fashionable taste on and off the mountain.

Forged Performance

With a point of origin related to the proper and fashionable knitwear of skiing’s Winter Royalty of the early 20th century, the Women’s Ski Race Knit Monarch a classic piece of winter wear with form fitting characteristics and a beautifully crafted Forged Performance material complexion.

Combining softly blend cashmere and merino yarns, total comfort, and traditional personality, this alpine sportswear garment commands a first class expression representing the pure romance of skiing’s fashion culture the past and present.

Designed by Tradition

As skiing evolved into the mid 20th century, ski slopes double as highly photographed fashion runways in which images and reports of royalty and celebrity ski trips were circulated widely among the press and paparazzi from New York, Paris, and London. Determined to adhere to the fashion protocols of the day and unwilling to compromise on high-class style, traditional skiwear came into its own as a unique category of clothing that was as appropriate off-piste as it was on-piste.

Super cute

The pattern is very flattering and I look forward to wearing this sweater in the fall (I purchased the one with camel colored yarn). It’s not a super high quality feeling sweater, but for the clearance price, I thought it was appropriately priced at $125.

Okay, but not a $300 + sweater

The sleeves were snug while the body is larger, it’s a poly wool blend, so not sure why it’s priced where it is. I plan to wear mine under a silver puff vest, so it will look cute, but not a super cute, I can’t wait to wear it out with the girls cute. More like, running to coffee, throw it on easy/effortless cute.

Beautiful Sweater!

I love this sweater. It is so soft and very well made. Very nice how you can make it a turtleneck or unbutton it if it gets too warm.

I ordered the large and the medium to compare. I kept the large because I will layer a cotton long sleeve undershirt under it. I am 5'9 and weigh 120, so I'm not big but have very long arms and torso. Even the medium sleeves were very generous in length though; you can fold them or leave them to cover more of your hands, very nice! And I just like a more roomy sweater.
