Merci, Jacques.

How can you not admire a man who said:

“A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it.”

Jacques Cousteau.

Put on his first pair of diving goggles in 1936 and six years later created the first aqualung.

Spent the next 50 years traveling the world aboard Calypso, a World War II French minesweeper he converted into a research vessel.

Recipient of the Légion d’honneur, the National Geographic Gold Medal, and our eternal gratitude for making us care about the ocean.

He would have been 101 this year. This is for him.

Jacques’ Striped Turtleneck (No. 2837). Made from a hearty, yet comfortable, French terrycloth blend that’s 95% cotton and 5% spandex. Wide 2” blue or red stripes with 1/4” white stripes.

Just the sort of thing you’d expect to see Jacques wearing in the pilothouse.

Men’s sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL.

Colors: Navy Blue and White, Red and White.
