Aran WOOLLEN MILLS Irish Fishermen Cable Knit Wool Vest SIZE XXL

NWOT DARK CHARCOAL GRAY/MAY BE SLIGHTLY DARKER THAN PICTURES Ireland's Aran Islands are the inspiration for the original fisherman's Irish sweater. Their windswept landscape and harsh weather conditions required clothing that was warm and comfortable and resistant to wind, rain, and sleet. Irish wool and the tightly knit Aran stitches work together to create a garment that Irish fishermen could count on. This sweater exemplifies everything that is and exemplify the essence of Ireland: what Irish poet W.B. Yeats called "a terrible beauty." Yet out of this harsh, windswept landscape comes some of the world's most handsome sweaters. Made from lanolin-rich wool, the fibers are thick and lustrous, but never scratchy. This handsome sweater vest also features iconic Aran stitches, which is really a number of different stitch patterns appearing side by side.
