What a surprise! Often, Aran-type wool sweaters are heavy, scratchy, coarse, and smell of lanolin. THIS sweater is so soft, it might be mistaken for a cashmere blend. It's a rather 'open' knit, so it might snag (we have dogs), but with a little care it should be fine. I bought the navy--classic, war...

Verified Buyer Reviewed by Harry from Pacific Coast on Wednesday, September 16, 2015This is "stiff" wool, not merino. Only the hardy will wear this against bear skin. The construction is good. Good fit and shape.

Reviewed by Chris from Bethesda maryland on Tuesday, August 25, 2015As many others have noted, this sweater is made with an absurdly loose weave. Thus it seems fragile, doesn't insulate well, and looks downright odd (nothing like the pictures).

Verified Buyer Reviewed by Would-be Country Squire from Oregon on Wednesday, April 15, 2015Real wool in a very nice pattern. Weave is open. You can see light through it.
I wouldn't wear it on a walk given that it would snag and that the wind would get through.
On the other hand it's probably just the thing inside where I didn't want to be too warm.
Pros:
- Wool
- Attractive pattern
- Thick but open-weave
- Comportable fit
Cons:
- Open weave
- May snag -
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Amorphous from East Tennessee on Monday, February 23, 2015There is something about English, Irish, and Scottish wool clothing that has always been both attractive, interesting, and desirable to me. Barbour jackets, Harris Tweed sport jackets, and Aran Island sweaters are among the best clothing in the world.
I was given one of these sweaters for a Christmas present in 2013, and liked it so much that I bought this and another for myself. It is, in my mind, a classic wool sweater--not marino wool or angora or any of the other, ostensibly more comfortable, sweater materials. It is well made, incredibly warm, and has that classic "wool sweater" texture, appearance, and feel.
Can't be beat. Would buy more, but there are only so many wool sweaters one can wear.
A good replacement for my former favorite, Pendleton, which has sold out, in my opinion, from their original "woolen mills" shirts and sweaters to popular tripe just has have so many other formerly premium brands that used to make find quality products.
These folks may do the same. For those of you who like and appreciate wool, this is an absolute "must have" product.

Question “What guage is the sweater?”
-
Answer I'm not sure of the gauge but the sweater is very light in weight and soft and snuggly to the touch...like that of a soft baby blanket...certainly not the weight of the fisherman's sweater from back in the day (lol...late 70's). The knit stitching is very loose which could be a good thing if you're looking for something that doesn't look brand new.
-
Answer This sweater is made with medium-guage wool yarn - very good quality material...BUT it is a very loose knit, almost like crochet. It is a stretchy and open stitch , NOT a tight dense knit. It is warm as a layer but not heavy enough to block a chilly wind.
