Inspiration
First worn by cricket players in the early 20th century, the cricket sweater soon became a classic piece of men's clothing. During the interwar years, the colored stripes showed different schools and sports clubs. It later became a key part of the American Ivy League style.
Today, it is closely linked to the preppy and "old money" look, making it a timeless sweater that never goes out of style. Its enduring appeal makes it an essential layering piece for anyone who appreciates traditional tailoring and vintage-inspired menswear.
