Wool Fisherman Sweater
Inspired by the iconic sweater donned by old Oinbones himself, this 100% wool sweater is a staple piece for any Savage Gentleman's wardrobe.
Because of its ability to provide warmth even when wet, wool has been worn by fishermen for centuries. It also provides excellent insulation due to the high volume of air it contains in the thick 3 gauge cable knit stitching.
Based off of classic designs from the Aran Islands, this sweater incorporates traditional stitch patterns, each one with a specific significance and meaning...
Starting from the center and working outwards:
The "Diamond" stitch is a symbol of success and good health. It represents the small fields of the islands and is filled with Irish moss stitch to reflect the seaweed that was used to fertilize the barren fields and produce a good harvest.
The "Cable" stitch represents the fisherman's ropes and the hope for a fruitful day at sea.
The "Tree of Life" stitch is one of the earliest original Aran designs, it signifies the importance of the clan and is an expression of a desire for clan unity with long-lived parents and strong children.
