Men's Irish Aran Wool Sweaters

Our collection of men’s sweaters at Weavers of Ireland brings together the best of tradition and style, showcasing the finest craftsmanship and the highest quality wool and wool Tweed. An Irish sweater can be worn with jeans and boots for a classic, practical style or worn with tailored trousers over a button-down shirt to add a softer element to your more formal attire.

The iconic Aran sweater is a popular item in our range, incorporating stitching patterns that were developed on the Aran Islands many years ago. These include the intricate cable stitch, which is said to represent the hard work of the fishermen who worked on these harsh shores, and the diamond stitch, which is believed to bring luck and prosperity to all those who wear it. These designs were developed by the fishing and farming families to add extra warmth and meaning to these comfortable sweaters, which were primarily worn to protect their loved ones against the elements.

Wool is a great choice all year round, since it can help to regulate the temperature and is naturally water repellent. Did you know that pure wool can take on up to 30% of its weight in water before it feels wet? This means it is ideal for inclement weather, as it offers some protection from the occasional shower, and wool is also a natural insulator, so it will trap air between the layers to keep you warm when it’s cold outside. However, it’s not just a winter option as the wool fibres are breathable and will help to wick away sweat, keeping you cool on warmer days.

Our sweaters come in a range of gorgeous colours, including several shades of green, blue and brown that are inspired by the Irish countryside where they are made. Made from soft wool by artisan weavers and knitters, these sweaters are a wardrobe staple all over the world and are often seen in fashion magazines and on the catwalk, where they are given a modern twist by haute couture designers.

Whether you are looking for a snug sweater to throw on as you walk along the beach or a lightweight option that makes the transition from work to evening drinks smoother, you’ll find exactly what you need in our range. From turtlenecks to Fisherman’s sweaters and classic Aran sweaters, our sweaters for men range includes something for everyone, and we can’t wait to help you find your new favourite.
