I’ve always loved every kind of British jumper —
even Mark Darcy’s ugly Christmas one in Bridget Jones’s Diary.
There’s something about the way wool carries shape and warmth, how it holds time in its threads.
The story of the fisherman jumper began with people who lived by the sea.
In the late 19th century, fishermen along the British coast knitted their own jumpers to face the wind and salt.
That became the Fisherman Jumper — tightly woven, warm, and made to last.
The high neckline kept the cold out, and the dense texture carried the mark of labor and weather.

In The Lighthouse (2019), the jumpers almost felt like part of the landscape —
heavy with salt and light, the kind of fabric that belongs to the wind.
It reminded me that clothes can hold both function and poetry.
This season, we presents our new British Fisherman Jumper,
a quiet continuation of that story.
Knitted in fine wool,
it keeps the traditional cable structure
but adds an extra line around the neckline,
creating a slightly raised silhouette.
