I have always loved antique images of fishermen in gansey sweaters. They are just so cool; I wanted one (the sweater that is).
A few details keep this perennial classic fresh and contemporary: a set-in sleeve, a wide flattering fit that’s perfect for high-waisted
pants and skirts and a wider neck opening.
