The iconic Irish sweater, in its most comfortable version

This Aran Fisherman out of Ireland sweater revives the tradition of Irish marine knitwear, combining it with a much softer wool than historical models.
Its characteristic texture adds volume, warmth, and a timeless, instantly recognizable style.

An authentic piece designed to be worn for a long time – not just for style, but for the climate.

Exceptional merino lamb's wool: 100% Geelong Lambswool

This wool comes from the first shearing of merino lambs, which gives it finer and more supple fibers than traditional wool.

significantly softer feel than a classic Aran
significant warmth without stiffness
natural breathability
extended comfort even indoors

This provides the warmth of a real fisherman's sweater, without the scratchy feel of old models.

Aran knit: natural warmth by construction

The twists and textured stitches are not just decorative.
They create insulating air pockets that retain heat while allowing the fiber to breathe.

This type of knitting offers:

high thermal insulation
good moisture regulation
durability over time
structured drape

An effective sweater against real cold, not just decorative.

Cut and style

classic round neck

Irish textile heritage

Made in County Donegal, this knitwear is directly inspired by traditional coastal garments: protective, durable, and functional, while adopting a contemporary line.

The dense and stable construction allows the garment to maintain its shape over time and use.

About wool garment sizing

Genuine untreated wool retains its natural structure.
Unlike fibers stabilized by polymers, it remains supple and alive: the fiber can stretch naturally (up to about +30%) and then return to its shape, without permanent deformation.

An untreated wool garment therefore never remains completely fixed to a strict textile pattern.
It adapts to the body, movements, and ambient humidity: the material works, breathes, and accompanies the morphology.

Therefore, the size does not correspond to a closed category.
The main difference between two sizes lies primarily in the length (sleeves, total height), while the width ease remains adaptable.

Thus, for example, a size 46 may also be suitable for a 48 - and depending on the models, sometimes even a 50 - without compromising comfort.

• 100% Geelong lambswool
• Without Superwash treatment or any other treatment
• Dye-free

Pure, untreated wool garments do not need to be washed frequently.
Wool has a natural self-maintenance capacity thanks to its fibrous structure, keratin and lanolin.

• Routine maintenance (recommended)

- Regular ventilation in the open air (ideally outside, or in front of an open window).

- Rest after each use: hang the garment on a hanger or drying rack, do not leave it in a ball in order to preserve the fiber and its shape.

- Local cleaning of stains under water at room temperature with Ulrich ox gall stain-removing soap or genuine Marseille soap.

• Complete wash (very rare)

- A complete wash should remain exceptional.

- Hand wash only!

- Cold water or water at room temperature.

- Ulrich Natürlich special liquid wool laundry detergent, ideally the version already enriched with lanolin in order to limit the contact time with water and avoid having to do a separate Cure bath.

-Wash temperature = rinse temperature (avoid any thermal shock).

- Do not wring, wrap in a towel to absorb.

- Dry flat, away from the sun and any source of heat.

Fisherman Out of Ireland knitwear is made in the brand's workshop in Kilcar, County Donegal (Ireland), a region historically linked to knitting and tweed. Production is carried out locally, from knitting to finishing, allowing for direct quality control and a fully managed manufacturing process.

The brand works exclusively with natural fibers. This model is made from a yarn composed of baby alpaca and virgin Highland wool, spun in Peru, then knitted in Ireland.

The choice of sustainable animal fibers and a knit designed to last is part of a logic of prolonged use: a garment worn for a long time reduces its environmental impact compared to textiles that are quickly renewed.

Small-scale production and local manufacturing aim to preserve traditional textile know-how while limiting unnecessary industrial steps.

• What is Geelong wool?
It is a very fine and supple merino lamb's wool.
It offers the warmth of traditional wool with a significantly softer feel.

• Is an Aran sweater very warm?
Yes.
The thick twisted mesh creates insulating air pockets: ideal for real cold, outdoors or dry winter.

• Is it scratching?
Much less than a classic Aran.
Geelong is chosen precisely to make this type of sweater comfortable against the skin.

• Can it be worn directly on the skin?
Yes, for the majority of people, but it is often worn over a shirt or t-shirt to regulate heat.

• Why is Aran knitwear so warm?
The raised patterns (twists and textured dots) increase thickness and retain warm air: natural insulation without synthetic material.

• How long can it be worn without washing?
This garment can be worn for one or more years without washing, with simple airing.

• Avoid using deodorants containing oils (organic or homemade): they can clog the fibers and reduce their ability to breathe, just as some diaper rash creams for babies can clog washable diapers.
If an odor persists despite 1 to 2 days of airing in fresh air, the wool may need to be cleaned.

• This garment should not be machine washed on any cycle. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the garment's size and structure.
Ulrich Natürlich laundry detergent enriched with lanolin is highly recommended.

Ficherman Out of Ireland

Before Fisherman Out of Ireland, there is a much older Irish textile history.

It all began in the 18th century with the wool mills surrounding Blarney Castle. These workshops produced tweeds and sturdy fabrics designed to withstand the harsh Atlantic climate. Wool wasn't a fashion item—it was a daily necessity, a means of protection against wind, damp, and cold.

When the global textile industry became industrialized and standardized, much of this know-how disappeared. But part of this tradition survived: the understanding that a garment must first function before it is decorative.

It was in this context that Fisherman Out of Ireland was born in 1991.
founded by the Blarney Woollen Mills family.

Based in Kilcar, Donegal - a region of fishermen, cliffs and storms - the brand does not seek to reproduce the traditional sweater, but to preserve its logic:

A knit made to live outdoors, last a long time and remain comfortable.

The volumes are lighter, the threads softened, the cuts modernized.

But the original idea remains intact: to create a garment that accompanies real life rather than a trend.

This is not a folk costume.

This is the contemporary evolution of a garment born to survive the climate.
