The soft and warm knitted fabric of this sweater not only has a beautiful melange texture, but also a "Donegal fleck" effect. This is created by firmly incorporating wool fibres in contrasting colors into the yarns, which creates irregularly distributed splashes of color in the knit, giving it a striking character. The sweater is knitted in stockinette stitch and the cuffs on the neck, sleeves and body are designed as a wide rib knit. The yarns consist of 80 percent wool. The remaining 20 percent is recycled polyamide to make the sweater more durable and comfortable to wear.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.
