FLEMISH IRISH

Born to brave the northern winds and built to last, the Flemish Irish jumper is crafted from pure Shetland wool and inspired by the classic Gansey jumpers of the Isle of Guernsey. Historically worn by fishermen to withstand harsh weather and damp conditions, Shetland wool has been prized since the 15th century for its warmth, durability, comfort and easy care. This version showcases a striking cable knit pattern rooted in Scottish tradition. The name pays tribute to the Flemish knot, also known as the Savoy or figure eight knot, one of the strongest and most reliable ways to tie two ropes, subtly symbolising the blend of functionality and authenticity at the heart of Sebago’s style.
