Schott Merino Wool Fisherman's sweater

This cable knit 100% Merino Wool sweater marries traditional craftsmanship with contemporary fashion. While the art of knitting sweaters traces its roots back to Ancient Egypt, the history of the cable knit sweater is a more recent tale, originating less than 150 years ago in the Aran Islands' fishing communities, off Ireland's rugged west coast.

Our cable-knit sweater, made of the finest wool, pays homage to these origins, where seafaring women first crafted them to keep fishermen warm at sea. More than just a piece of clothing, these sweaters were a labor of love and necessity, with all-over patterns designed to provide extra warmth and a touch of familial identity, as each family developed its unique pattern.

WOOLY MAMOUTH IS RIGHT

Published: Mon, 2/24/2025 by dennis mahoney

HORRIBLE sweater. Nice color. nice pattern. super soft. but the other reviews are correct - it sheds like there is. no tomorrow. I have worn it for 3 hours so far - fuzz balls falling of like snow outside. sweater is badly pilled after just a few hours of wearing. dont buy. Schott got this very ring. their jackets are fantastic. their sweaters are not, AND NOW I hve to pay $10 to return - this is not right

PILLING ME SOFTLY...

Published: Fri, 2/21/2025 by PA Mike

I love this sweater! It's soft, very warm and I love the fit, although it fits a little big and the arms are pretty long, but I like that. Only reason not to give a 5-star review is that (as others have said) it is so soft, that it pills and sheds a great deal. I hand-washed the other day and it is still pilling/shedding. I don't like using dry cleaners due to the chemicals. I'm hopeful that it will run it's course and simmer down now...

I am always looking for a good sweater. Great multipurpose athleisure sweater to own. Well made and very comfortable. You get what you pay for and I know I’ll have this one for a few decades.

A GOOD B+ - SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN A

This was a Valentine's Day present for my husband and he was thrilled. It's a good fit and looks great on him. However, I have never in my life seen a sweater that pills so heavily, to the point that it's shedding all over the house. I was told that this is normal for this type of wool and that dry cleaning will help. We'll see, as it's at the dry cleaners now. Pilling on the garment is one thing: shedding everywhere is something else!

WELL MADE, BUT SIZING IS OFF

It is a heavy well made wool sweater. I am 5'6' and weigh 145 lbs and the small size runs a little too big for my body type. I could not exchange it because Schott does not carry an x-small, so I am keeping it because I did not want to paid for the restocking fee. Come on Schott, paid the dam return fee next time.
