From the moment you put it on, this handsome shawl-collar cardigan is guaranteed to make you feel powerfully connected to the Emerald Isle, and, in particular, the Aran Islands, the region responsible for striking designs such as these. Here, the main stitch in use is the diamond stitch, which is said to represent wealth and prosperity. At its inception, in fact, it was modeled on the the nets of the Aran Island fishermen, who wore it out to sea as a good luck token in the hopes that they might return home with a large catch of fish.
On this Men's Shawl-Collar Aran Cardigan, the insides of the diamond stitches are filled with the more diminutive moss stitch, named after the Carrageen moss seaweed that the Aran Islanders collected from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to these age old stitch patterns, this men’s cardigan boasts a design that’s simply timeless, and its flattering fit and v-neck give it a modern edge.
Perfect as a gift or as a special treat for yourself, this striking Aran cardigan is sure to become an instant favorite. You won’t know how you ever got by without it!

Wore this in 40°F weather with a jacket and felt warm. Also wore it indoors at 70°F and didn’t overheat. Good temperature control.

New favorite
I've owned lots of merino base layers over the years, but nothing has impressed me as much as this sweater. I love everything about it: the texture, thickness, quality and warmth! It's way softer than my other merino sweaters from other shops and I can wear it with a crewneck T-shirt underneath without being itchy.

Genuine Irish made sweater
This is the second time I have bought it since I previously got one for my brother. I love it for the cold winter months in Milwaukee.

Perfect!
Looks just like the one my father used to wear back in the 90s. I purchased myself one and for my son as well to honor the tradition. The sleeves are long enough. Sleeves are usually too short on me, but these are just long enough. Much beautiful in person, its very warm and fits perfectly

my husband always wanted an Irish made 100% wool sweater so I surprised him with this one. he's thrilled!! the pattern is lovely and the wool feels warmer and softer than many other merino sweaters. well worth the cost.

Sweater Review
Sweater Review I have had the sweater for about 3 weeks. I bought this sweater as a replacement for a bulky sweater that my Mother-in-Law gave me on my first Christmas over 35 years ago (the old sweater was just falling apart). The sweater is warm and looks great
