Men's Merino Wool Sweater with Drawcords

A great choice for anyone who wants a little extra detail on their sweater, this Men's Merino Wool Sweater with Drawcords is a unique piece with a loose-fitting collar and drawstring closure to keep the wind at bay on colder days. The sweater is knitted of 100% Merino wool and is available in both the classic white of the original Aran sweaters, as well as dark charcoal. The patterns that adorn the sweater include the traditional cable stitch and the diamond pattern, which forms the central panel of the front, back, and sleeves. The diamond pattern signifies the farm patches of the Aran Islands and their rugged beauty, while the cable signifies the ropes of fishermen. Together, both represent a promise of bounty and a wish for good fortune. This gorgeous sweater is knit by Aran Woollen Mills, based in County Mayo in the west of Ireland since 1965 and one of Ireland's leading designers of contemporary knitwear.
