Product Story

Authentic Guernsey Sweaters.

The original “ganseys” were knit by hand in fishing villages along the British coast. Woven through with sea-tested, hard-wearing heritage.

A sweater for men who tell legendary stories often colored at the edges with uisce beatha ("water of life") and steeped in salt air.

They wear sweaters like this one. (Coveted by all the rest.) Knits so warm and durable they’re handed down from father to son, along with fishing boats and nets.

Substantial enough for rough seas and fearsome nor'easters, but so cozy you’ll keep them in heavy rotation all winter.

Product Details

Guernsey Wool Sweater (No. 7308). Traditional Guernsey fisherman’s sweater style translated into an exceptionally warm and soft blend of 67% virgin wool, 23% cotton, 5% cashmere, and 5% silk. Once standard issue in the Royal Navy. Warm enough to rebuff the advances of North Sea gales. Mock neck style. Rib details at arms. Ribbed cuff and hems. Made in Ireland.
