The Iconic Fisherman's Jumper

The distinctive patterns that define the classic Aran jumper – a style favoured by 19th-century Irish fishermen for its unparalleled warmth and hard-wearing construction – were originally knit to signify the wearer's family clan. Today, this cotton fisherman's jumper symbolises the wearer's membership in a different type of group: those who appreciate form, function and enduring style.
