Ecru Wool Sleeveless sweater - Le Laboureur

An essential timeless piece — this recycled wool sleeveless sweater is a versatile layer built for everyday use. Warm enough to wear on its own during autumn, yet slim enough to slide comfortably under a jacket or winter coat when the cold settles in.

Made from 100% wool, its recycled yarn blends French virgin wool with off-cuts from Le Laboureur’s iconic burel work coats. A material rooted in function, durability, and purpose — nothing wasted, everything transformed.

The ECRU colour is particularly distinctive: it is undyed. Its tone comes directly from the natural colour of the sheep’s wool — no chemical treatment, no artificial colouring. Every piece carries its own subtle depth and variation, the quiet signature of an authentic, living material rather than a standardized uniform shade.

A simple, practical, and elegant garment — made for those who appreciate honest clothing: well-made, built to last, and meaningful in its purpose.

Size Guide

French sizes are different from North American sizes, SO IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO MEASURE YOUR CHEST SIZE in order to choose the right size.

Note:

• The fit is loose, typical of traditional workwear to facilitate movement. For a closer fit, consider sizing down. For example, I am 6'2" (188 cm) and can wear a size 3 for a snug fit or a size 4 for a looser fit.
• To measure chest circumference, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your chest, under the armpits, keeping it snug but not tight. Lower your arms along your body to take the correct measurement.
