Description The classic Aran jumper originates from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Traditionally hand-knitted from undyed, unscoured wool, these jumpers were first crafted by the island's fishermen to provide warmth and protection against the harsh Atlantic weather. The Aran jumper is renowned for its intricate cable patterns, each with symbolic meanings rooted in the islanders' way of life. For example, the cable stitch represents the fisherman's ropes, symbolizing safety and good fortune. In contrast, the diamond stitch signifies wealth and success. These patterns, unique to different families, also served as a practical means of identification in case of accidents at sea. Our Aran is crafted from 100% 5-gauge British Merino wool. Inspired by the original Aran knit, it has ribbed cuffs and hems that provide a snug fit, ideal for the cooler months. Wear this stylish garment as part of a smart-casual ensemble this season.
