These bulky oversized sweaters have a definite “marine” feel to them. Bands of jacquard and the phrases “Exinction Is Forever” and “Save the Whale” feature on the back and sleeves. The main motif depicts a “Breaching Whale.” A simple cable design completes the look.

Men’s sweater modeled by actor Michael Palin, of Monty Python fame.

Women’s sweater modeled by actress Susan George.
