Harrison is a modern interpretation of a traditional Norfolk Gansey jumper worn by fishermen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Crafted in Nottinghamshire from the highest quality 100% certified British wool; fleece to finished jumper in under 125 miles!
This knit comes in 3 sizes and two colours; True Navy Blue and Sage Green (more colours will arrive throughout the season). This piece can be worn by men or women, a cosy over-size go-to piece to pull on when the coastal breeze picks up. It is knitted with an open crew neck with a chunky folded rib trim. The top half of the body is knitted in the original “hailstone” stitch taken directly from the original Ganseys on both the  front and back, with a neat central shoulder seam and chunky rib trims. The body is generous and boxy, flatteringly shaped upwards towards the front. The sleeves are slightly long and can be worn turned back with a ribbed cuff which can be pushed up to scrunch, or pulled down to cover the knuckles. Reverse knit panels run down each side seam – just like on the original Ganseys, this jumper is intentionally simple in pattern and form to complement the beauty of the stitches.

The Harrison is named after Jimmy “Buttons” Harrison , who was the coxswain or helmsman of the Cromer lifeboat the “Louisa Heartwell” between 1902 and 1909.

Knitted in 100% certified British wool and knitted in Nottinghamshire, England by a wonderful small scale knitting factory. Fleece to finished garments in less than 125 miles!
