Our Irish Knit Fisherman Sweater with Zipper Collar takes inspiration from the traditional Irish sweater. The Irish fisherman sweater has always been more than just a piece of clothing. Born on the wild Atlantic coasts of Ireland, these sweaters were originally hand-knit by families to keep fishermen warm, dry, and safe at sea. Wearing one today is like carrying a thread that connects you to generations of tradition, while still enjoying something practical and timeless.
If you’d like to take the look one step further, try pairing it with our Cambridge Wool Country Flat Cap.
The wool blend is what makes it so versatile. It gives you that natural warmth and durability wool is known for, but with extra softness and breathability so it feels great against your skin. It’s insulating, cozy and tough enough to stand up to regular wear.
The zipper collar is a thoughtful update to the old fisherman style. Leave it open with a t-shirt underneath when you want a casual, relaxed look, or zip it up fully when the wind picks up and you need a little extra protection. It’s practical, but it also adds a touch of polish that makes the sweater easy to dress up or down. The relaxed fit gives you room to layer, and the ribbed cuffs and hem keep the warmth in while holding the shape of the sweater beautifully.
