Grey Wool Fisherman's Roll Neck

$835.00
Size Guide

A proper woollen roll neck with its roots in the knitwear worn by seafarers around the coasts of Europe. It’s knitted in Italy from 100% pure new wool, with a sturdy 2x2 rib and fully fashioned construction.

The five horn buttons across the shoulder take their cue from traditional maritime knitwear, where buttoned shoulder openings and straps were a practical feature of ganseys and mariner’s jerseys.

Finished with ribbed cuffs and hem and a generously proportioned roll neck, it’s a straightforward piece with a little more going on than first meets the eye.

  • 100% Wool

There is a long tradition of buttoned shoulders in fishermen's jerseys, originally a practical detail rather than a decorative one, where buttoned shoulder openings were a useful way of getting a close-fitting jumper on and off, particularly when soaking wet.
