Cream Boatneck Sweater

Sale price$ 195.00

A true expression of classic coastal style, our boatneck sweater has remained a signature of Nantucket Looms since its introduction in the late 1960s. Timeless and easy to wear, its clean lines and enduring silhouette offer a natural sense of polish.

The high boatneck collar and distinctive saddle stitch shoulders create a structured, flattering shape, while the versatile fit allows for effortless styling—wear it close for a more tailored look or size up for a relaxed feel.

Equally suited for days spent sailing or casting a line, and refined enough for an evening out, this sweater moves seamlessly between tradition and occasion. Unisex in design and enduring in appeal, it is a staple rooted in the rhythms of New England life.
