Ecru Wool Guernsey Jumper

From Drakes

A centuries-old design born of the sea and the salt air, the Guernsey (or Gansey) jumper was once the preserve of seafarers battling the Atlantic winds, and it endures today as a symbol of honest, utilitarian design. Our take on this maritime classic has been reinterpreted with a characteristic eye for proportion and quality, knitted from pure virgin wool, a fibre prized for its natural resilience, warmth, and robust handle that softens beautifully with wear. The distinctive patterning at the shoulders and hems is integral to the knit, rather than applied, lending subtle structure and reinforcement where it’s most needed. Once a mark of regional identity, and used to denote the wearer’s home port, it now serves as a testament to thoughtful craftsmanship and enduring style. 100% Virgin Wool Made in Italy Ribbed Collar, Hem and Cuffs Traditional Stitch Patterning
