KOMODO men's wool cable knit sweater MARLEY COBALT in 100% lambswool
A cable knit sweater, but without the stuffy boarding school vibes. The MARLEY by KOMODO is a sturdy, hand-knitted men's sweater made of 100% lambswool in a bright cobalt blue. The color draws attention, while the classic cable pattern ensures you can keep wearing the sweater for years to come.
MARLEY is warm, rugged, and comfortably roomy. It's the kind of sweater you pull on over a T-shirt or shirt and you're good to go. No complicated styling required; the blue does the work.

A classic with color
The cable pattern runs vertically across the front and along the sleeves. This gives the sweater plenty of structure without it feeling overly busy. The back is simply knitted, which keeps the overall look nicely balanced.
The COBALT color is bright and powerful, but surprisingly easy to combine. Wear the sweater with black or dark blue jeans, green cargo pants, or smart chinos in brown, sand, or gray. Under a winter coat, the cobalt blue ensures your outfit doesn't completely disappear into the usual sea of black and dark gray.
Fit & honest size advice
The MARLEY has a roomy fit, with plenty of freedom of movement around the chest, shoulders, and waist. The sleeves are also generous and have sturdy ribbed cuffs, allowing you to let them puff up a little if you wish.
The model in our photos is wearing a size XL. That is his usual size and it gives him the roomy fit you see. However, he could easily wear a size smaller in this sweater. Do you want the sweater to be nice and loose and relaxed? Then choose your own size. Do you prefer it a bit neater and less roomy, or are you between two sizes? Then choose the smaller one.
Why lambswool is so great
Lambswool is warm, breathable, and resilient. The thick knit retains plenty of heat, while at the same time, wool helps to absorb and release moisture. This makes the sweater feel comfortable on cold days, both indoors and outdoors.
How wool feels on the skin remains a personal matter. Lambswool can feel a bit sturdier than, for example, merino wool or alpaca. Are you sensitive to wool? Then wear a cotton T-shirt or shirt underneath, or come and try the sweater on first.
How to care for your MARLEY
Fortunately, you don't need to wash wool after every wear. Let the sweater air out outside regularly; that is often enough. If washing is necessary, opt for a cold hand wash with a small amount of Lanalicious wool detergent.
Do not wring, do not hang, and absolutely do not tumble dry. Gently press the water out of the sweater and let it dry flat in shape. Also, check out our video on washing wool and read the wash guide that comes with your order.
Pilling is part of wool
Friction can cause small pills to form over time, especially under the arms and along the sides. That is normal for wool. You can gently remove them with a Gleener fabric shaver to keep the sweater looking well-maintained.
