From Shire Album 31 originally published in 1978

cable and diamond patterned gansey with ribbed sleeves apparently based on one worn by James Haylett in an old photograph from the early 1900s

Mr. Haylett’s gansey appears to have banded patterned sleeves and is plain below the chest. The Shire pattern has ribbed sleeves and continues the pattern down the body.
