Musical Rest Sweater

A LUXE KNITTED MUSIC-NOTATION SWEATER FOR MUSICIANS, MUSIC TEACHERS, SINGERS, AND COMPOSERS

Introducing the Musical Rest Sweater: featuring an oversized design composed entirely of musical notation symbols indicating silence and retraint: rests, tacet, silenzio, caesura, and and others that give "shhh" energy. It's equal-parts concert-hall chic and practice-room wit, designed for people who eat, sleep, and breathe music (and occasionally need everyone to stop making noise).

Why Musicians Love the Musical Rest Sweater

  • Knitted (not printed) design with a repeating music-notation pattern

  • Lightweight, soft-feel knit that layers easily for studios, lessons, and cool evenings

  • Unisex classic fit | inclusive sizing

  • A unique gift for musicians, music teachers, choir directors, singers, and music majors

  • Made on demand to reduce overproduction and unnecessary textile waste

Designed for Real Musicians

Tour de Fierce's Musical Rest Sweater was designed for those who eat, sleep, and breathe music every single day. You know who you are:

  • Composers, orchestrators, and music theorists fluent in musical notation

  • Music educators, mentors, tutors, and professors

  • Professional musicians on- or offstage

  • Music students currently enrolled in music school, at performing arts conservatories, and those who take private music lessons.

And, hey: this couldn't be a more perfect wardrobe staple for singers while they are on vocal rest!

Musical Rests Pattern

What the Design Means

This pattern features musical symbols and markings associated with quiet and silence (think rests, dynamics like “pp,” and the legendary “tacet”). It’s a wearable "wink wink" inside joke for anyone who reads music, teaches it, performs it, or lives with someone who practices.

Available Colors

Each color is its own limited production run: Ivory Score, Violet Rest, Quiet Earth, and Great Gray Rest. 

Hero-knitted-musical-rest-sweater

'Ivory Score'

Classic. Traditional. Inspired by the sheet music we read and play from every day.

musical-rest-violet-rose-hero

'Violet Rest'

Bold. Confident. Fun. The violet and coral colors work together to make a statement about musical rests that is, ironically.... quite loud.

quiet-earth-musical-notation-sweater

'Quiet Earth'

The most subdued color combination in this collection, Quiet Earth brings a natural and understated confidence to those who wear it.

great-gray-rest-hero

'Great Gray Rest'

This design's high contrast between embroidery colors makes it pop in real life for a fashion moment everyone will notice.
