Time to be bowled over by our 'Hutton' and 'Hobbs' cable knit cricket jumpers.
Tracing its origins back to the beginning of the 20th Century, the cricket jumper was initially designed to keep cricketers warm during long matches over a typical English summer. Crafted in a traditional cable knit and naturally presented in a crisp cricket white, often embellished with coloured trim at the neckline and cuffs.
The jumper’s aesthetics of clean lines, heritage detailing and traditional textures quickly gained popularity beyond the sporting world. The classic V-neck design means the jumper is an excellent choice over a collared shirt, making it fashion staple for both men and women. Combining perfectly with smart trousers for a polished style or dressed down with denim for a more casual day out.
Although not embraced by the 60s Mods in the same way as other sports items such as tennis/polo shirts, boating blazers and bowling shoes, the cricket jumper has overtime become a more common addition to any Mod clothing collection. The classic design has a slight Ivy League vibe, whilst perhaps on the back of Brideshead Revisited, the 80s saw the item increasingly combined with the aforementioned boating blazer. Now seen as a great choice for a summer’s evening, the bcricket jumper has become the perfect piece of casual Mod clothing thanks to its cool vintage varsity and Ivy League styling.
