Gloucester Gansey
Gloucester Gansey combines classic elements like traditional patterning and drop-shoulder sleeves for the typical “gansey look” with a contemporary, loose fit. This seamless pullover is a forgiving sweater to wear with a split high/low hem, and deeply shaped shoulders for a tapered drop at the upper arms.
