O'Neill Brayton Long Sleeve Sweater
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Lightweight Pullover Built for the California Lifestyle
The O'Neill Brayton Long Sleeve Sweater gives you that easy, relaxed layer you reach for when the morning air has a chill or the evening breeze rolls in off the water. It pulls on quickly, sits at a skimmer length that pairs naturally with high-waisted bottoms or a flowy skirt, and wears comfortably from beach town to boardwalk.
Construction and Fabric
The Brayton is knit from a slub yarn blend of 73% Cotton, 18% Nylon, and 9% Acrylic. Slub yarns introduce subtle variation in thickness across the knit structure, giving the fabric its relaxed, lived-in texture. Cotton provides breathability and softness next to skin; nylon reinforces the knit and helps the sweater hold its shape through regular wear and washing; acrylic contributes lightness and keeps the piece from feeling heavy or stiff on warmer transitional days.
Details That Earn Their Place
- Skimmer length: sits above the hip for a modern, versatile silhouette
- Seam details: visible construction lines across the body add dimension to a solid wash without added hardware or graphics
- Rib cuffs: snug at the wrist to keep the sleeve in place and add a clean finish
- Pullover construction: no closures, no fuss
- Solid color wash: easy to layer and style across your existing wardrobe
How to Wear It
The open knit and slub texture make this sweater a go-to transitional layer rather than a cold-weather insulator. Wear it over a swimsuit on a cool morning paddle session, tuck the front into denim for a casual daytime look, or layer it over a slip dress for an easy evening outfit. The skimmer hem keeps proportions balanced regardless of what you pair it with.
Care
O'Neill recommends following the care instructions on the garment label. Because the Brayton uses a blended slub yarn construction, gentle machine wash or hand wash in cold water and a low-heat or air dry cycle will preserve the texture and shape of the knit over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the fabric blend of the O'Neill Brayton sweater?
- The Brayton is made from 73% Cotton, 18% Nylon, and 9% Acrylic Slub Yarns. The slub construction creates subtle thickness variations in the knit for a natural, relaxed texture.
- Is the O'Neill Brayton a cropped or full-length sweater?
- The Brayton is a skimmer-length sweater, meaning it sits above the hip. It is shorter than a full hip-length pullover but longer than a true crop top, making it easy to pair with high-waisted pants, skirts, or shorts.
- Is the O'Neill Brayton sweater good for warm weather?
- Yes. The lightweight slub yarn blend and open-knit structure make it a transitional layer suited for cool mornings, breezy evenings, and air-conditioned spaces rather than deep cold-weather insulation.
- How do I care for the O'Neill Brayton Long Sleeve Sweater?
- Follow the garment label instructions. For best results with a blended slub yarn knit, use a gentle or hand-wash cycle in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low to preserve the shape and texture.
- Where can I buy the O'Neill Brayton Long Sleeve Sweater?
- The O'Neill Brayton Long Sleeve Sweater is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and online at islandwatersports.com.
- What makes the O'Neill Brayton sweater different from a standard knit pullover?
- The Brayton uses slub yarns, which create natural irregularities in the knit for a lived-in, artisanal texture. Combined with seam detail running down the body and rib cuffs, it has more visual interest than a plain stockinette sweater while staying relaxed and easy to wear.
