Test and Review: The Merino wool sweater
Discover what Comme un Camion thinks about the Marcel sweater
Well, it's official. The sun has betrayed us, sunscreen is put away, and summer has vanished into thin air. Yes, it’s cold, and it’s good to admit it. But, good news, it’s also the perfect time to bring out our secret weapon: sweaters! And not just any sweaters, no, we’re talking about the "sweater of a lifetime," the one that checks all the boxes. Comfort? Check. Style? Absolutely. Careful craftsmanship? Even better.
But don’t think it’s just our opinion, oh no! It’s none other than *Comme un Camion*, the famous online magazine specializing in menswear, that recently put our sweater to the test. And spoiler alert: they were won over.
Why Les Tricots Marcel?
So, why Les Tricots Marcel, you ask? It’s simple. Since the brand relaunched its activity in 2019, it has consistently gained momentum. Made in France? Yes, sir, everything is made in Roanne, just a little over an hour from Lyon. It’s not just a sweater, it’s the legacy of French know-how, modernized for our times. At Les Tricots Marcel, we don’t do things by halves. We’re talking about sweaters made of merino wool, the pinnacle of comfort and style.
The model tested by Comme un Camion
In terms of material, it’s made of 100% merino wool. This magical fiber is known for its thermoregulating properties (understand: you won’t end up sweating as soon as you go from the cold to the warmth of indoors). Bonus: it’s also odor-resistant and biodegradable, just that!
Style and comfort on point
The team from Comme un Camion quickly noticed the impeccable style of the sweater. “With its thick ribbing, this sweater invites us to wrap ourselves in a blanket with a good book,” they say, already nostalgic for the long winter evenings to come. They were particularly charmed by the marked shoulders, which give character to this otherwise very simple model. And of course, the ribbing at the wrists, waist, and collar ensures perfect fit and always impeccable look.
The tester chose the khaki version for his trial, an ideal alternative to the classic navy or black. In his opinion, it’s a shade that pairs perfectly with his entire wardrobe while remaining subtle and chic.
Fitting: A flawless success!
Verdict: Do we love it or not?
In conclusion, the test by Comme un Camion is categorical: this sweater, offered at 199.90 €, is a great investment. Yes, it’s a significant price, but justified by high-quality French manufacturing, exceptional wool, and timeless design. You won’t find this kind of piece on every street corner. Plus, with such a choice of colors, once you have one, there’s a good chance that others will follow in your wardrobe.
In short, whether you're ready to face winter or curl up in a cocoon of comfort, the Marcel sweater from Les Tricots Marcel has everything you need to become your best ally!
