Your first Guernsey should be Navy.  For your second Guernsey, Grey is a great choice.  Both go with everything.

Calling All Yachties! Two Smashing New Guernseys from Le Tricoteur - Made in Guernsey

Port & Starboard.  (Or when wearing it reversed, Starboard & Port.) All Photos of Muffy Aldrich.

An authentic Guernsey is an unparalleled piece of knitwear for when out on the water.  And Guernsey's Le Tricoteur is the real deal.  Their tightly knit worsted wool blocks all kinds of salty wind.  I have worn them for decades.

And now they have re-introduced two smashing versions from their archives.

With special permission from the Royal Navy, they have introduced the Cresta Run (which is a natural ice track in St. Moritz), one of the oldest races in history and one of the first events at the Winter Olympics.   They will donate 10 pounds from each sale to Royal Navy and Royal Marine’s Charity.

• Cresta Run Traditional Guernsey Jumper <https://letricoteur.co/en-us/collections/le-tricoteur-archive-collection/products/cresta-run-traditional-guernsey-jumper>

And also from their archives, the very snappy Port & Starboard Guernsey.  Le Tricoteur will donate 10 pounds from each jumper sold to the Guernsey Sailing Trust.

• Port & Starboard Traditional Guernsey Jumper <https://letricoteur.co/en-us/collections/le-tricoteur-archive-collection/products/port-starboard-traditional-guernsey-jumper>

As always, these garments are Made in Guernsey,

Aran and Navy, a Perfect Combination

Photos by Salt Water New England

One of the most classic color combinations is Aran and Navy.  Each color is fabulous on its own; combined they are unbeatable.  A box from Guernsey's  Le Tricoteur arrived yesterday with proof, in the form of some of the most durable and wind blocking garments we wear.

All Le Tricoteur Jumpers are Made in Guernsey.

Unisex Guernsey Jumpers

A reader comment from Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/muffyaldrich/>:

I still have @letricoteur Guernseys inherited from my Grandfather, along with my RNLI Guernsey which was issued during my time as volunteer lifeboat crew. I’ve added to the pile with more recent sweaters in some of the fantastic colours they have now. They’re the most comforting and comfortable thing to wear ever.

In Search of Lunch

We went to the harbor in search of lunch and came back with this morning's freshly picked lobster and Swedish Cardamom Bread.   The Cardamon Bread was quite good,  but bore little resemblance to my Swedish grandmother's Cardamon Bread.  And the lobster, dipped in melted butter,  was superb.  Only fruits and vegetables for the rest of the day.

Wearing Orange

Some colors, such as orange, can be quite challenging to make work with cotton fabrics but wonderful with richer fibers.
