The gansey sweater was made for fishermen.
To protect sailors from wind, rain and spray in the frigid ocean,
It is made from thick British virgin wool yarn with a strong twist and tightly knitted.
It is not only durable, but also has excellent heat retention and moisture resistance.
A garment that will not lose its shape even after years of wear, and will become more comfortable with its owner the more it is used.
There are also many distinctive details.
The front and back have the same pattern so that fishermen can wear it every day and can wear it backwards if it gets dirty.
Unique knitting pattern around the armholes and hem.
In the past, this knitting pattern was created by fishermen, and each household would knit their own original pattern.
The sleeves have gussets (reinforcement switches) to increase the range of motion.
It also serves as an accent in the design.
In addition, each sleeve is attached by hand.
A traditional item that has been around since the 1800s. This season, we have chosen a traditional item.
We selected a pop color scheme with a brown and mint green border.
Mint green may give you a flashy image, but it is actually a thin, brown base.
The striped pattern makes it easy to incorporate into your outfit.
If a British fisherman actually wore a striped knit like this, it would surely look incredibly charming.
A timeless gansey sweater. It will become more comfortable with repeated wear and you can enjoy the changes over time.
You will grow to love it more and more with each passing year, and it will surely become a piece you will never want to part with.
