The Skeleton Sweater, Done Properly

Most skeleton sweaters are a plastisol print on a cheap sweatshirt: they crack in a winter, fade in two. Ours is a real knitted jacquard. The ribcage is made of wool, not ink, knitted bone by bone into the fabric on Italian flat-bed machines. It cannot crack, because it is not on the sweater. It is the sweater.

Good to know

Why a knitted skeleton beats a printed one

A printed skeleton sweater is ink sitting on a sweatshirt: it cracks in one winter and fades in two. A knitted skeleton sweater is a different animal. The ribcage is bone-white yarn, worked into the black wool bone by bone on industrial flat-bed machines. There is no print to peel, because the skeleton is the fabric. It reads from across a room and lasts as long as the wool.

Every piece is knitted to order in an Italian atelier with forty years of knitwear behind it, unisex sizing S to 2XL. Ribcages, skeletons, bats and graveyards: the whole bone family, done properly.

Questions

Skeleton Sweater FAQ

Is the skeleton printed on?

No. The motif is knitted into the fabric itself (jacquard/intarsia). There is no print to crack or peel: the pattern is made of yarn, and it lasts as long as the garment.

What is it made of?

A heavyweight 50% wool / 50% acrylic knit, produced to order in an Italian knitwear atelier with 40 years of experience: warm and substantial like pure wool, but harder-wearing and easier to care for.

How long does delivery take?

Each piece is knitted to order. Current lead time is 2 to 3 weeks plus shipping: the price of not being mass-produced.
