Known and prized around the world in the form of the "Irish fisherman's sweater," Aran knitting originated generations ago in the chilly, windswept islands of Galway Bay.

These clothes also happen to be extremely stylish, with distinctive, highly textured patterns of cables and ropes.

- Traditional fisherman's sweater
- Family sweater, with round, polo, or V-neck
- Cardigans
