The half-sleeved crew-neck sweater is made of fineness 14 Sea Island cotton, called Gossypium Barbadense. This yarn grows only in the best climatic conditions and is cultivated exclusively in the Caribbean islands of the British West Indies. WEST INDIAN SEA ISLAND cotton is harvested by hand and contains the longest fibres in the world. Strength, brilliance and silkiness are guaranteed by the fineness of the fibre, micronaire around 3.0. The strict control system guarantees the purity of the raw material. The delicate contrasting tipping gives the garment an iconic look.
