CRAFT SINCE 1886
What once started as a robust work sweater for skippers and outdoor enthusiasts has grown into a timeless classic.
For decades, the Frisian Skipper's Sweater has been at the heart of our collection and symbolises everything Roosenstein Wolke stands for: craftsmanship, quality, and durability.
For almost 140 years, we have been making knitwear designed to last. Not because sustainability is a trend, but because waste simply wasn't an option in the past. That mentality is still embedded in every garment we make.
The Frisian Skipper's Sweater was designed over fifty years ago and has barely changed since then.
Over the years, we have refined the fit and further improved the quality, but the character of the sweater has always remained the same.
That is precisely where its strength lies.
Today, every skipper's sweater is still developed in collaboration with specialised family workshops within Europe. We work exclusively with high-quality natural materials and consciously produce in small batches. This way, we create clothing that doesn't just last one season but secures a permanent place in your wardrobe for years.
Whether you're on board, walking through the dunes, or simply looking for a timeless sweater that matches everything:
Our Frisian Skipper's Sweater has proven to be a reliable companion generation after generation.
With some pride, we therefore also call ourselves the home of the skipper's sweater.
Roosenstein Wolke Craftsmanship since 1886.
Five generations of craftsmanship knitted for the generations to follow.
