Firstly the sweater is not 'Torn' - this is the name given to a series of photographs made of James Dean by the photographer Roy Schatt in 1954. During that photo shoot, Dean wore a navy mock neck sweater which in certain poses, he appeared to be almost tearing at his neck. The photo shoot became known as the 'Torn Sweater', and here is the story. DETAILS 100% Super Fine Merino 'Cashwool' Made in Italy
