This Fall, Make Like a Fisherman and Stay Warm With These Knits
The chunky pullover has never been more on trend.
The fisherman sweater—knit on North Atlantic shores from Norway to Nova Scotia—is distinguished by its varying textures and symmetrical patterns. Traditionally it was made from untreated wool, which is naturally waterproof.
This fall, longtime L.L.Bean fan Todd Snyder is releasing a 40-piece collection with the Maine-based outfitter that includes an update of the company’s classic pullovers. And ever since Chris Evans wore a lookalike in last year’s Knives Out, Orvis’s Irish fisherman sweater has repeatedly sold out. But any of these seven versions will make a statement, at sea or on land.
