Aran Crafts Men's Fisherman Irish Rib Crew Neck Wool Sweater (100% Pure Wool)

Review for 5'11", 185 lbs M: size "L" was a perfect fit.This is a heavy sweater- perfect for 50F rambles through the countryside with your loyal dog at your side. Maybe even too warm for inside, unless you happen to live in a thatched stone cottage off of the wild Atlantic coast. It's very comfortable, well built & looks fantastic.Bonus that it is made in Ireland.

Wonderful product. This sweater is classic, well made, and very warm. I love it and so, glad to have it in the wardrobe.

Hands down the best sweater I've ever worn! It's made extremely well, very comfortable, and super warm. It fits great (42R coat size; 15.5x 32 shirt size, and I wear a large). Have only worn it 2x so far, but my hunch is that it will last a long time. I really like the charcoal color - not too dark but still goes well with a black suit. A great sweater and well priced for the kind of quality and durability you get with this sweater. I'm a new fan of Aran Crafts brand for sure.

This is a high quality sweater that looks and feels like it will last decades with proper care and maintenance. In jacket size I'm a 36-short and the small fit's me perfectly. It makes me wish the weather was colder more often.

It's a really nice sweater. I am not sure if I will be able to wear it. The neck hole is amazingly small. I have a big head but a normal sized neck. This is so tight on my neck it is rubbing, not in a good way. Other then the neck it fits very well and is very warm. It shouldn't be difficult to upsize the collar. Dampen it, stretch it, let it dry. Stretch in small increments.

Very nice sweater, quite heavy weave so will be very warm. Looks better in person than the ad, charcoal color very nice with jeans.

I know a lot of people buy acrylic products as a "wool substitute" whether for price or animal rights. I don't feel most sheep are mistreated, and being sheered is no different than dog owners who have the fur on their dogs 'styled' and cut. And I hate the feel of acrylic. I will go out of my way to get cotton, linen, or wool products. Acrylic makes me itch. The initial smell of wool to me reminds me of where it came from: sheep. I honor their gift. It quickly disapates after a good airing and maybe a gentle wash. And a well-made wool product can be very soft and endure long past the demise of an acrylic product. It is also fire resistant - a big plus for the things my husband does where he can be exposed to open flame. This sweater has him smiling every time he wears it due to its fit and quality, not to mention how it feels. His acrylic sweaters are put to shame next to it. He is now also investing in wool socks, also due to what he does since he may be exposed to open water he has to enter. You see, he does Search & Rescue work, a volunteer. He has had to deal with burning cars when the missing is found, and flood waters to find or rescue someone who has ended up in that water. The sheep's gift is very deeply appreciated and my hope is that it came from a well treated sheep. I don't mean this as a dig to animal rights, but as an appreciation of the long history of using the wool of a sheep without harming it.

1/27/2023Beautiful garment that fits like a glove, which for me, is good. But If I were 180-90# the XL would be necessary for the shoulders and possibly the sleeves. The sleeves are JUST long enough for my 33" arm length but the stomach size is Ample for larger guts. The quality of this sweater is 100% awesome, you won't find a better quality anywhere. The weave, warmth and color-purple are everything I hoped for...it's great to WIN once in a while! It's only a question of size. With Amazon making it so easy to exchange or credit your account buying this sweater is nothing to worry about. Always wanted a (Merino wool sweater made in Ireland) and this is it. Did I say this is Awesome?...it really is beautiful! Note - I'm just a retired guy who has no association with any company or product so trust that this is an HONEST review.
