The Guernsey
Our unisex Guernsey jumper, crafted from locally sourced 100% British wool, is a cold weather essential. This adaptable mid-layer will play a vital role in your wardrobe for years to come.
Built on 400 years of history, designed for the toughest conditions.
Traced all the way back to the traditional jumpers developed on the island of Guernsey in the 17th century. These jumpers were worn primarily by the fishermen on the island - designed to keep them warm and dry in some of the toughest weather conditions.
Made in Britain,
100% British wool.
Knitted and assembled by a small family-run knitwear manufacturer in the heart of England, using only the finest locally-sourced British wool. Wool is natural, biodegradable, breathable, odour, fire and UV resistant, resilient and elastic.
Keeping the cold out and the warmth in.
The Guernsey’s unique tapered neck and sleeve are designed to sit on your skin comfortably, yet giving you unrestricted freedom of movement.
Wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour accordingly. When the wearer generates heat, it is retained while water vapour is released.
Planned obsolescence,
400 years and counting.
The Guernsey jumper is a classic mid-layer piece that will compliment your wardrobe during the chillier months. Built like a tank, we have selected the highest quality British wool and intend for it to last you for many years to come. With gentle cleaning and care, we think that you may even be able to hand this jumper down.

Find the right fit
I need a bit more help with sizing.
Using a measuring tape, refer to the diagram to measure these key areas to determine the optimal size. The measurements shown here are body measurements, and you are advised to select the larger size option that fits you.
I.e. Anakin’s chest is measured at 47cm and body length at 66cm.
Anakin will select a size M on the Guernsey.
Guide:
Chest is measured around the fullest part.
Body length is measured from the side of neck point to the hem.
Sleeve length is measured from the shoulder point to wrist.
