How does the ARMEDANGELS Troyer men’s sweater fit?

According to ARMEDANGELS, this men’s knitted sweater has a regular fit. It isn't tight, but it isn't overly oversized either. In the photo, the model, who is 190 cm tall, wears size M. The total length of the sweater is approximately 68 cm.

The chunky knit gives the sweater some natural volume and texture. That gives it exactly that rugged look you want in a winter sweater like this.

What is this men’s knitted sweater made of?

The sweater consists of 65% organic cotton and 35% recycled wool. The organic cotton is OCS-certified and the recycled wool is GRS-certified.

And we find that combination interesting. The cotton provides a pleasant and relatively soft feel, while the wool adds warmth. So you get a warm knitted sweater with wool, without it consisting entirely of wool.

What is a troyer sweater?

A troyer is a knitted sweater with a high collar and a short zipper at the front. And honestly: we think this is such a fantastic style for men. With the zipper open, it looks nice and nonchalant, allowing you to show off a T-shirt underneath, for example. Is it getting cold? Then the collar can be zipped all the way up.

On this sweater, the collar is nice and sturdy with a wide rib, which makes it drape very well even when worn open.

How do you style this dark green men’s sweater?

Easily. Very easily, actually. The deep olive green color combines beautifully with black, navy blue, denim, brown, and sand tones. Just wear it with jeans or corduroy trousers and you’re basically all set.

And because of the chunky knit, this sweater already has enough character of its own. You really don’t have to overthink it.

Is a sweater made of organic cotton and recycled wool warm?

Yes. Due to the 35% wool content, this sweater is clearly warmer than a standard cotton sweater. At the same time, it is mostly made of organic cotton. This makes it very suitable for men who want the warmth and look of wool, but aren't necessarily looking for a 100% wool sweater.

How do you wash a sweater with recycled wool?

With a chunky knit sweater like this, our main advice is: wash it as little as possible. Wool doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Simply airing it out is often enough.

Does it need to be washed anyway? Then always follow the care label in the sweater and preferably choose a suitable wool cycle at a low temperature. Use a special wool detergent, such as Lanalicious wool detergent, do not use fabric softener, and let the sweater dry flat. So, no tumble drying.

With knitted clothing, some pilling can occur over time due to wear and friction. That is not a sign of poor quality, but is inherent to natural fibers. You can easily remove those pills with a Gleener fabric shaver to make your sweater look fresh again.

Why do we like this ARMEDANGELS men’s sweater so much?

Because this is exactly the kind of sweater that a man can enjoy for years. Not a complicated fashion item, but a good, rugged knitted sweater that you’ll pull out of your closet every winter.

The chunky structure, the heathered dark green color, the high collar, and that combination of organic cotton with recycled wool make it just that bit more interesting than the umpteenth standard men’s sweater.

And honestly? With a pair of black corduroy trousers like the ones in the photo, it's just perfect. Nothing more to add.
