Men's Irish Aran Wool Sweaters

Cable and diamond stitches trace back to the Aran Islands, where they once carried meaning for the fishing families who wore them, and that heritage still runs through our Irish sweaters for men today. Made from pure wool and wool cashmere blends, our Men's Irish Aran Wool Sweaters range includes crew neck, shawl collar and classic Aran styles in colors drawn from the Irish countryside.

Wool Sweaters Rooted in Aran Tradition

Cable stitch is said to reflect the hard work of the fishermen who once wore these sweaters, while diamond stitch was believed to bring luck and prosperity to the wearer. Fishing and farming families originally developed these patterns to add both warmth and meaning to garments worn for protection against the elements.

Wool works well in every season, since it regulates temperature and is naturally water repellent, taking on a good share of its own weight in moisture before it feels wet. It also insulates by trapping air between fibers to keep you warm in cold weather, while the same breathable fibers help wick away sweat on milder days.

Colors run through the greens, blues and browns found across the Irish countryside, and styles include crew neck, shawl collar, chevron stitch and classic Aran cuts. Our Men's Irish Aran Wool Sweaters sit easily under a jacket for work, or stand on their own with jeans for a walk along the shore.
