You don’t need a shirt to look well-groomed, but it’s definitely not so dressed up that you feel like you’ve ‘tried too hard’. Just put it on, pair it with some good trousers, and you’re done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that color, \u003cstrong\u003eDark Earth\u003c\/strong\u003e… it’s excellent. A deep, grayish olive\/earth tone that is calm but definitely not boring. We have the FAABES in several colors, including red, but this is one of those colors that seems to go with literally everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is the ARMEDANGELS FAABES such a great men’s sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s primarily the combination of the fine knit and the \u003cstrong\u003ehigh collar with a short zipper\u003c\/strong\u003e that makes this sweater so good. It makes it look just a bit dressier than a regular crew-neck sweater, while still being wonderfully easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can zip it all the way up for a sleek, calm look, but I personally love it partially open with a white or ecru T-shirt underneath. And if you want it to look a bit smarter? You can, of course, wear a shirt underneath it perfectly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFine-knit quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHigh troyer\/skipper collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eShort zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSubtle ARMEDANGELS logo on the chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegular, straight fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSoft and comfortable without wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in multiple colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat kind of color is Dark Earth?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDARK EARTH is one of those colors that might look like just ‘dark green’ at first glance, but it’s much more interesting when you take a closer look. The shade sits somewhere between \u003cstrong\u003eolive green, khaki, and dark earth brown\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it a beautiful, calm appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it is almost impossible to go wrong with styling it. Dark denim, black, sand, beige, ecru, brown, corduroy… all good. Especially with a light T-shirt peeking out just a little bit from under the sweater, as shown in the photo, I think it looks very sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the ARMEDANGELS FAABES DARK EARTH fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FAABES has a \u003cstrong\u003eregular, straight fit\u003c\/strong\u003e. Not tight, but certainly not oversized. You can therefore simply choose your usual size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe length is approximately 69.5 cm. The ribbed cuffs at the sleeves and hem ensure the sweater keeps its shape well and gives it that classic knit look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the FAABES a skipper sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can definitely call it a modern skipper sweater. The high collar with a short zipper is also known as a \u003cstrong\u003etroyer collar\u003c\/strong\u003e and is typical for these types of sweaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, this version is a lot more refined than the thick, old-fashioned skipper sweater you might have in mind. The knit is finer and smoother, which allows you to wear the FAABES both sportily and quite smartly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FAABES is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e. That makes it interesting if you like wearing natural materials but don’t find wool comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton feels soft, breathes, and at the same time gives the sweater that beautiful smooth, fine-knit appearance. Keep in mind that cotton keeps you warm differently than wool. So, this isn't a thick winter sweater, but rather a nice sweater for indoors, the mid-season, and for layering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you style the FAABES DARK EARTH?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVery easily, actually. With dark jeans and sneakers, it works instantly. Combine it with beige or sand-colored chinos, and it becomes a bit dressier. And with corduroy trousers, the whole look gets that beautiful, warm autumn feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also play around with what you wear underneath. A white or ecru T-shirt makes DARK EARTH look a bit fresher. A button-down shirt makes it smarter, and with a dark shirt underneath, you keep the whole look calm and ton-sur-ton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you care for a knitted cotton sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven though it is cotton, it is better not to treat a \u003cstrong\u003eknitted\u003c\/strong\u003e cotton sweater as if it were a regular T-shirt. Wash it inside out at a low temperature with a small amount of detergent and don't overload the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTake the sweater out of the machine immediately after washing and \u003cstrong\u003egently pull it back into shape\u003c\/strong\u003e. Preferably let it dry flat or well-supported, and do not put it in the dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCotton knits can stretch out a bit while being worn and snap back somewhat after washing. That is normal. Gently shaping it while the sweater is still damp helps tremendously in keeping the original fit beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWatch out for snags in fine knitwear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine knit makes the FAABES beautiful, but it also means you have to be a bit careful with sharp objects, rough surfaces, watches, and, for example, protruding zippers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDid you get a snag anyway? \u003cstrong\u003eNever cut or pull the loop.\u003c\/strong\u003e With a fine needle or a snag repair needle, you can usually gently pull the thread to the inside of the knit. This prevents you from damaging the yarn and making the snag bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDon't buy if…\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou are actually looking for a thick, super-warm winter sweater. For that, we would sooner choose wool. The FAABES is a \u003cstrong\u003efine-knit cotton men's sweater\u003c\/strong\u003e that is ideal for indoors, for spring and autumn, and for layering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you are looking for that sweater you put on for work on Monday morning, wear with jeans on Saturday, and can perfectly well keep on when you go out for dinner in the evening? Then we understand very well why the FAABES is such a great wardrobe classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the ARMEDANGELS FAABES DARK EARTH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the ARMEDANGELS FAABES fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FAABES fits normally and quite straight. In principle, just choose your own size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat material is the FAABES made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater is made of 100% organic cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of color is DARK EARTH?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDARK EARTH is a deep earthy shade that sits between dark olive green, khaki, and brown. A calm color that is very easy to combine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this sweater itch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the FAABES contains no wool and is made of soft organic cotton. A great choice, then, if you prefer not to wear a wool sweater directly on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the FAABES a skipper sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you can view the FAABES as a modern fine-knit skipper sweater. The high collar with a short zipper is also called a troyer collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear this sweater over a shirt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertainly. With a shirt underneath, the FAABES immediately becomes a bit smarter. With a T-shirt, it gets a more casual look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the FAABES a warm winter sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides a pleasant layer of warmth, but 100% cotton is less insulating than wool. For really cold days, you can wear it in layers or better choose a wool sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I wash the ARMEDANGELS FAABES?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash it inside out at a low temperature with little detergent. Remove it from the machine immediately, gently pull it into shape, and let it air dry. We do not recommend the dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the FAABES available in multiple colors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. We have this knitted ARMEDANGELS sweater in multiple colors, including DARK EARTH and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAABES DARK EARTH is actually exactly what a good men's basic should be: easy, comfortable, beautiful material, and just enough detail to not be boring.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARMEDANGELS","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":54641760567635,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":54641760600403,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":54641760633171,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54641760665939,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/6525\/7043\/files\/armedangels-basic-sc1hipperstrui-faabes-biologisch-katoen-duurzame-herenmode-rotterdam-1.jpg?v=1787247265","url":"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/en\/products\/armedangels-gebreide-trui-met-rits-faabes-dark-earth-biokatoen","provider":"Natur-el","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
