"Porto Knit"
The Porto Knit by Blue de Gênes is a classic crewneck sweater crafted from 100 % wool in a fine 12-gauge knit. This style impresses with its refined workmanship, providing warmth and breathability while offering a soft and comfortable hand feel. Designed in a regular fit, it features subtle contrasts in knitting techniques along the body, sleeves, and collar – understated details that highlight craftsmanship and add a touch of sophistication.
The origins of the crewneck date back to the early 20th century when it was first developed for athletes, particularly rowers. Its simple neckline allowed freedom of movement and easy layering. Later adopted by the U.S. Navy in the 1930s, it evolved after the war into a symbol of casual everyday wear. With the Porto Knit, Blue de Gênes reinterprets this historic legacy, blending heritage, function, and timeless elegance.

More than 400 years ago, dock workers in Genoa made robust clothing from Arabic cotton called 'Geanes fustian'. Dyed blue with indigo, the durable material was ideal for dock work. The 'Blue from Genoa' - 'Bleu de Gênes' is exported all over the world and makes the 'Blue Jeans' world famous. This story inspired a beautiful denim brand from Denmark to get its name: Blue de Gênes. "Indigo flows through the veins here," they joked. But it's true. You can tell by looking at each denim how much heart and soul it contains. In a small denim factory in Firenze, Italy, the denims are lovingly made by hand. Individual details, personally signed labels and historical manufacturing methods, such as reinforced back pockets and old rivets, refer to another time when denim production was still a true artisan's craft. The combination of classic, traditional values and the redefinition of the stylish, modern man creates an authentic, refined yet pithy vintage look.
