Time Honored and Sea-tested

The Fisherman's Sweater comes to us via a long lineage of sailors, explorers, and innovators.

Originally hand knit for fishermen in the Irish Islands, it was adopted at the turn of the century by Ernest Shackleton and his crew, who took the knit rollneck all the way to the Antarctic. Later embraced by the British Navy, the sweater was refined and mass produced to outfit thousands during the First World War. It then found a new home with submariners, who embraced any woolen comfort they could get on their long voyages beneath the waves.

In the decades since, the sweater has become an iconic garment for the maritime and sea-loving world. We've updated it with soft, breathable cotton, but kept every other detail the same – the classic roll neck, a ribbed cuff, and functional side slits.

Reviews

Beautiful sweater just what I was looking for

"I have always thought that I would love to have a sweater of this type every since I saw a picture of Ernest Hemmngway wearing one . I already had the oyster cap he was wearing and just needed the right sweater to complete the look. I guess I am just an old salt at heart and do occasionally smoke a pipe, go figure. Great quality item, I may very well be making future purchases from QMS Co."

"This sweater is beautiful quality knit. It’s so nice to have a sweater that’s made well with good materials. Originally I ordered small but had to size up (they do run small) the exchange was easy and seamless. Definitely recommend this sweater"

Love this sweater!

"I was attracted to the color in the online ad. It did not disappoint. The color and density of the knit will be a bright addition to the more muted colors of winter."

Great quality and color

"Bought this in Cranberry Mix color, which is great. The weight is in between mid and heavier. Customer Service check-ins to ensure I was happy post-sale was appreciated. I wish it were about an inch or two shorter in length, otherwise it is perfect."

— Brian M. (5/5)
