Fishermen's sweaters site

[STEVIEBOY1]

I've already been wearing Woolly Pullies and look forward to months of sweater wearing, including fishermen's sweaters.

Yes me too.

It's time to get the Sou West Chunkies and Ganseys out now I think.

bump...just because it's deserved

 

[Guppy]

OK, since this thread was bumped...

I posted elsewhere in its own thread about my "sweater problem"...

So, my very warmest sweater is a shawl collar wool fisherman's pull-over made by Woolyback of England, a plain, dark brown.

I bought it from ebay in the last 1-2 years. No idea how old it is. It is rather heavy and thick, with multiple layers of thick, knitted wool about the neck and shoulders. It blows everything else I have out of the water. I love it

I haven't seen a lot of other sweaters by Woolyback, but if they're all of this quality, they're darn good.

I'm not sure and may be wrong but I think Woolyback may be a name used (or previously used) by Outdoor Knitwear for WP's for the export market.

Not the WPs but ‘civilian’ shooting/country pursuit sweaters, many of them vaguely inspired by the WP.

Peter makes great sweaters. I ordered three chunkies from him a few years ago and they are fantastic!

Yes, I agree with this comment, I have 3 from Sou West Chunkies too, they are excellent and very reasonably priced.

Like you and like Steve I have three of these (two chunkies and one Gansey). I am thinking of asking Peter to do another Gansey. What colours do you have?

I have been wearing my olive (Army) Guernsey over the weekend and Navy Woolly Pully today.
I wonder if hondurasdave will tell us any more about his chunkies.

Have an Irish fisherman's, warmest sweater I own, beats the leftover commando garb.

Anyone ordered or heard from Peter lately? His website is not working.

Have you tried this email address for him? peter@souwestchunkies.com I have a feeling he may have changed his website a few months ago.

(I wish it was the weather for Sou West Chunkie wearing etc. It is far too hot for me.)

 

[STEVIEBOY1]

I wore my Sou West Chunkie Gansey Roll Neck yesterday, as the weather is getting cooler.

I wore my Black Woolly Pully yesterday; Army (olive) WP today!

 

[Peacoat]

I got a ribbed sweater from Schott a while back in anticipation of cooler weather. I will probably wear that more than my blue Woolly Pully or my olive Woolly Pully this winter. It is a light weight wool blend, but will be warm enough under one of my many jackets.

That’s the style many German fishermen wear, yes, there still are some. Collar can also be worn as roll neck.

Cheers
