There’s nothing quite like pulling on a good Aran sweater. It’s more than just a layer against the cold, it feels like wrapping yourself in a bit of Irish history. Our Traditional Irish Fisherman Sweater with Button Mock Neck keeps that tradition alive, while giving you something you’ll actually want to wear every day.
The stitches are what make it special. Each one carries its own meaning: the cable stitch echoes the ropes of fishermen, a symbol of strength and safety; the moss stitch reflects the rugged Irish fields, thought to bring luck and growth; and the diamond stitch represents prosperity and the rewards of hard work.
The color, autumn leaf marl, is just as striking. It’s a warm, earthy tone with depth and richness, almost like the Irish countryside when the leaves start to change. Easy to wear, easy to pair, it’s the kind of shade that works with denim on a casual day or dresses up nicely with chinos for a night out. For a classic finishing touch, pair it with our Harris Tweed Newsboy Cap.
Comfort is at the heart of this sweater. Made from a wool blend, it’s soft to the touch and tough enough to last. It holds in heat when you need it, breathes well when you don’t, and wicks away moisture so you stay comfortable. The fit is relaxed and the buttoned mock neck gives you options: leave it open for a laid-back look, or button it up when the wind picks up. The ribbed cuffs and hem keep everything snug, so the warmth stays in and the chill stays out.
