REFINED RIB STITCH: With its traditional rib stitching, this wool sweater is reminiscent of those worn by fishermen out on the rough seas. Each stitch pattern has their own history and the use of Traditional Irish Stitches throughout our garments ensures we keep our long-treasured legacy of Irish craft alive.

WEAR THE TRADITION: This stylish piece of clothing is reminiscent of days gone by, believed to bring luck, success, and health to the wearer. Aran Crafts tells a story of a long-treasured history of traditional Irish craft embedded in each stitch and fiber. Appreciate the craftsmanship and pride in every piece.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Do not machine wash. To best care for your woolen garment, we recommend hand washing in cold water in a sink or basin. Soak for 5 to 10 minutes with wool detergent, gently squeeze the suds out (do not rub, twist, or wring), and rinse in clear, cold water. Pull carefully to shape. Always dry flat and never put in a tumble drier. The Golden Rule for caring for a wool garment is to wash it as seldom as possible and air frequently.

Best Sweater!

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

Size: LargeColor: CharcoalVerified Purchase

Hands down the best sweater I've ever worn! It's made extremely well, very comfortable, and super warm. It fits great (42R coat size; 15.5x 32 shirt size, and I wear a large). Have only worn it 2x so far, but my hunch is that it will last a long time. I really like the charcoal color - not too dark but still goes well with a black suit. A great sweater and well priced for the kind of quality and durability you get with this sweater. I'm a new fan of Aran Crafts brand for sure.

Killer buy at this price

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020

Size: MediumColor: CharcoalVerified Purchase

I've been wanting a rugged looking fisherman style sweater for a while and has been eyeballing one from another company but it was 3x this price and not Irish. So I did a little digging for alternatives and stumbled on this brand.

I bought the sweater in charcoal and it's exactly what I was after. Fits great, love the look of it, very warm, the charcoal color is really nice and has little flecks of lighter gray here and there that are really handsome. Some people in these reviews seem to think they smell sheepy, but I really like the way it smells and it's not pungent at all. Also it's a tad itchy, but in an oddly pleasant way. Definitely gonna be wearing this all the time and am also looking at another one by this company.

1 Year Update:

Had the sweater for a year and I still love it. Very comfortable. Whatever "sheepy" smell it had when I bought it is totally gone. I will say it has loosened up a good bit and has kind of that loose, floppy sweater vibe going on a bit now which is nice for around the house, but I dunno if I'd call it a sharp look for going out. I feel like I could probably wear a size down and am considering buying a small. Only other downside at the 1 year mark is that this thing for sure pills a good bit. I have picked a lot of sweater fuzz off of it in the last year. Especially around the arms/elbows.

All in all still a big fan of this sweater, especially for this price.

beautiful sweater

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024

Size: LargeColor: CharcoalVerified Purchase

It's a beautiful sweater, nicely made, and a good value.
I would have given it 5 stars, but it was shipped in a flimsy plastic bag - the type used in stockrooms, not intended for shipping. The bag was torn when the sweater arrived, so the sweater was exposed.
Luckily the sweater wasn't damaged in transit.
While I'm all in favor of limiting plastic wrap and waste, in this instance another layer, even a paper shipping package was in order.
I may order from this company again but hope that in the future, they will package their sweaters properly for shipping.

Soft, woolly, and it fits!

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024

Size: LargeColor: MossVerified Purchase

I know a lot of people buy acrylic products as a "wool substitute" whether for price or animal rights. I don't feel most sheep are mistreated, and being sheered is no different than dog owners who have the fur on their dogs 'styled' and cut. And I hate the feel of acrylic. I will go out of my way to get cotton, linen, or wool products. Acrylic makes me itch. The initial smell of wool to me reminds me of where it came from: sheep. I honor their gift. It quickly disapates after a good airing and maybe a gentle wash. And a well-made wool product can be very soft and endure long past the demise of an acrylic product. It is also fire resistant - a big plus for the things my husband does where he can be exposed to open flame. This sweater has him smiling every time he wears it due to its fit and quality, not to mention how it feels. His acrylic sweaters are put to shame next to it. He is now also investing in wool socks, also due to what he does since he may be exposed to open water he has to enter. You see, he does Search & Rescue work, a volunteer. He has had to deal with burning cars when the missing is found, and flood waters to find or rescue someone who has ended up in that water. The sheep's gift is very deeply appreciated and my hope is that it came from a well treated sheep. I don't mean this as a dig to animal rights, but as an appreciation of the long history of using the wool of a sheep without harming it.

I bought a couple of these for my husband. He wears them often thru the winter. It gets quite cold ❄️❄️ up here & even tho he has several others, he seems to only wear these beautiful, well-made wool sweaters. It's the brand he likes.

Fantastic sweater!

Reviewed in Canada on December 20, 2021

Size: X-LargeColor: CharcoalVerified Purchase

I wanted a warm sweater made with natural materials (wool) and I really love this sweater. It's warm, fits perfectly and looks great. Remember to wash these sweaters as little as possible and when you do, only in cold water hand wash. I bought a few more sweaters like this with different patterns and colors, and don't regret buying any of them. I didn't find them scratchy or itch, even those with a higher collar.

Very warm jumper, 10deg out and can wear comfortably without a coat. Usually a size 16-18(female) and the Medium size is a comfy fit. Not noticed it itching so far as worn over a long sleeve shirt. Green is a lovely colour too. It is quite long, I’m 5ft, 3in and it reaches to top of my knees.

Per il maglione non ho parole per quanto lo trovo bello, la taglia è azzeccata e così anche il colore.
Maglione fantastico, ottimo in un set casual (la morte sua) ma persino elegante, volendo.
La spedizione è stata molto rapida. Insomma per riassumere, persino più soddisfatto delle mie stesse aspettative.
