Black Sheep Irish Fisherman's Sweater
A man's wardrobe is incomplete without our cable-knit crew neck sweater.

- Rib-knit finish at neck, cuffs, and hem
- Hand wash or dry clean
SIZING
- S(34-36), M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52).
We took the undyed, naturally brownish-gray color of black sheep wool and combined it with a bit of white wool to get this distinctive, heathered color. This is a traditional cable-knit crewneck sweater that is a classic of Irish style and culture. Slip it over a collared shirt for a casual look and to take off the chill. Ireland.

By: RRABOT from Colorado Springs, COI really love this sweater. It is the prefect weight to do a variety of task around the yard or as the 2nd layer under a wind breaker if it is really nasty out

Best sweater - 12/29/2015
By: Wisconsincold from Green Bay, WIWe got 13 inches of snow! Wore a turtleneck under this sweater and was very comfortable using the snowblower and shoveling. Was virtually covered in snow and the sweater dried without difficulty. Just wish I had 2 of these.

A Thick Burly Wonderful Beast! - 12/21/2015
By: Seattlepjc from SeattleI first noticed the weight and color of this hefty garment. I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting a sweater this thick, but it was perfect for what I wanted -- walking the family retriever in the rainy, cold, windy pacific northwest, and cozying inside with a book. Another pleasant surprise was seeing "made in Ireland" on the tag. The sweater is a nice, snug fit, with a wonderful wool smell, and more of a brown color than I was expecting. A great find!

Orvis men's clothes are cut generously to accommodate an active country lifestyle. In addition, we build plenty of “wearing ease” in all our men's garments to ensure you will enjoy them for many years. We field-test all of them on associates, and we take into consideration how the clothing will be worn. For example, when we fit men's outerwear, we always size it with the appropriate layers beneath. That means you do not need to order a size up for a comfortable fit.

In all instances, hold tape firm and level, but not tight.
a. Head: Using a flexible/soft tape measure, start 1" above the ear. Follow around head staying 1" above the ear. This will give your most accurate reading. Then refer to the chart for size.
b. Neck Circumference: Wrap tape around to the base of your front neck and allow room for wearing comfort. OR measure the collar length of a favorite shirt.
c. Sleeve Length: From the center back of your neck with your arm slightly bent, follow the tape around to your wrist bone.
d. Chest: Wrap a tape measure evenly around the fullest part under your arms.
e. Waist: Wrap tape around your natural waistline, or where you actually wear your pants.
f. Seat/Hip: Standing with your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hip (approx. 7-8" below the waist). Don’t forget to keep the tape level.
g. Inseam: Best taken from an existing pair of pants you like. Measure along the garment inseam from the crotch seam to the hem.
h. Glove Hand: Measure all the way around the flat part of your hand, excluding the thumb, and around the widest part at the knuckles. Use the chart above to convert this measurement in inches to your corresponding glove size.

| Merino Wool | |
An ancient and universal fiber One of the oldest and most universal fibers, felted or woven wool has been used for garments and household linens since the earliest civilizations. Wool textiles have been documented as far back as 3,000 B.C. The superior quality of wool from merino sheep Thousands of years of evolution and selective breeding have resulted in merino sheep capable of producing a super-fine wool fiber. One square inch of merino fleece produces nearly four times as many wool fibers as other breeds of sheep. Interlaced with millions of microscopic air pockets, which act as Nature’s most effective insulator, merino fibers naturally reduce the passage of heat by trapping air between the woolen fibers. Because merino fibers are smaller in diameter and more abundant than in any other wool, they trap more air and keep the wearer naturally more comfortable. Versatile, durable and comfortable Merino wool keeps the wearer warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. These remarkable fibers also absorb up to 30% of their own weight in moisture, pulling vapor away from the body so that the wearer stays dry and comfortable regardless of the temperature. Fine merino wool is soft, not scratchy! Modern technology has made it possible to sort and select only the finest merino fibers. Merino wool has a microscopic diameter—about one-third to one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. The smaller the diameter, the finer, softer, and less scratchy the fabric will be. Lustrous merino wool produces fabric that can be worn next to the skin without discomfort, is soft, and always provides an exceptional hand and distinctive style. Orvis offers a wide range of luxuriously soft merino wool clothing for men. |
