Aran knitwear was first developed in the 1800s for fishermen in the Aran Islands, Ireland, and has since grown in popularity into a world-famous fashion item. Traditionally made from Merino Wool – which is softer than regular wool, making it an ideal fabric for warm garments.
The natural beauty of Aran Knitwear can be accredited to the attention to detail in the stitching. Every pattern carries symbolism which unites the knitwear with the heritage and history of the Aran Islands.
Our Elmore Gilet features the ‘Cable Stitch’. This pattern symbolises the ropes the fishermen used. This was seen as a symbol of safety and good luck for the fishermen at sea.
You can be sure you’ll be kept warm in your Merino Wool. The wool contains a natural crimp, or air pockets, which can hold body heat around your body – keeping you exceptionally warm.
Despite this, Merino Wool is breathable as it can absorb 35% of its weight in moisture, which can then evaporate to release moisture.
Wool also has odour-resistant properties due to its natural antibacterial effects. Bacteria responsible for odours find it hard to stick due to the wool fibre structure, which makes it highly functional as you won’t have to wash it daily.
Your Elmore Gilet will have a traditional, relaxed fit. Drop down a size for a more fitted look.
Choose from 2 colours – Pebble Grey or Sky Blue. We have a wide selection of outdoor clothing which work great combined with the Elmore Gilet – jackets to layer for extra warmth or top off your look with a hat.
