Prequel Fisherman's Wool Sweater – Ecru

The Prequel Fisherman’s Wool Sweater draws from the maritime traditions of Ireland and Scotland, where tightly knitted wool garments protected fishermen against cold Atlantic winds throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Rather than copying vintage pieces superficially, Prequel reinterprets the classic gansey sweater structure (can be worn front & back) with a refined silhouette and modern comfort in mind. The result is a clean, understated design that carries historical weight without feeling costume-like.

Crafted in Japan from pure wool, the yarn is knitted at high density to create a compact, resilient fabric with natural insulation. Unlike traditional lanolin-heavy maritime sweaters, this version is carefully balanced to reduce excessive weight and scratchiness while preserving structure and warmth. The rib-knit construction is not merely decorative. Rib-knit sections at the sleeves enhance elasticity and ensure a secure, anatomical fit, allowing the sweater to move naturally with the body while maintaining structure. The ribbed cuffs seal out cold wind, preserving warmth in demanding conditions.

Another functional detail lies at the hem: side vents provide subtle expansion and improved mobility, preventing tension when layering and allowing the sweater to sit cleanly whether worn under a jacket or on its own. This detail, rooted in workwear logic, increases comfort without disrupting the silhouette.

The fit is precise — neither oversized nor restrictive — allowing it to function effortlessly as a standalone piece or as a layering garment under tailoring or outerwear. Authentic in spirit yet calibrated for daily wear, the Prequel Fisherman’s Sweater delivers quiet strength, practical warmth, and long-term versatility.
