Fishermans Crew - Black Cotton Wool

There's few knitwear pieces as classic as the fisherman's sweater. No matter what the era, location or culture there's sure to be someone sitting out in the bitter cold wearing a knit top with a wide ribbed collar. Margaret Howell offers-up a take on this classic, incorporating details and tweaks which have made her eponymous label so highly regarded.

Constructed from a large jersey knit using cotton/merino yarn, the collar and cuffs are finished with a thick ribbed knit for added texture which maintains the heritage fisherman look. Margaret Howell's love of a side-split doesn't escape even her knitwear – with it incorporated into the ribbed hem.
