Jacob in navy by Derek Rose

Designed to sit in our resort and leisurewear collections, this smart sweater can withstand heavy-duty relaxing, sport, informal and sophisticated events alike. Featuring a ribbed collar, knitted back neck tape to minimise stretching and tubular knit hem and cuffs, the devil really is in the detail with our Jacob collection. The Jacob, seen here in a rich navy blue, is perfect layered atop or under other pieces, but honestly, you won't want to cover up this beauty.

The Jacob is an incredibly durable garment. The fabric is considered the strongest naturally grown cotton in the world which means it will resist wear and last a lifetime. The definition of a luxurious investment. The fabric also has an unrivalled softness as the long-staple yarns create a smooth and silky surface. This is not cotton as you know it.

Sea Island Cotton comes from the seed of the Gossypium Barbadense plant which produces the longest fibres in the world with pile lengths of more than 50mm. Genuine Sea Island Cotton is the rarest type of cotton, making up less than 0.0004 per cent of the world’s cotton production. The West Indian Sea Island Cotton Association (WISICA) inspects and certifies every kilogram of locally produced cotton and the hologram on our swing tag is a sign of 100% authentic Sea Island Cotton.
