More On Men's Aran Cardigans
These Men’s Irish Cardigans are starkly contemporary and stylish, yet their roots are in the long-standing Aran stitching tradition in Ireland that began with Aran sweaters. The Aran Islands, which are located off the western coast of Ireland, are where Aran sweaters originally became popular in the 1890s. Most men in the Aran Islands made their living primarily through fishing, therefore to keep them warm during the chilly winters, their wives and mothers would weave them these sweaters from un-scoured wool. In the 1950s and 1960s, cable knit sweaters unquestionably were very fashionable, and they were especially cherished for their intricate woven designs, each of which had a deep symbolic value.

Don’t be reluctant to opt for a looser, more comfortable fit in this situation. Arans frequently appear better when they are not tightly hugging the body. A tightly knit and banded hem will enable you to put the sweater where you want it if the length needs to be changed.
Aran cardigans are indeed worth the investment, as they are made with high-quality materials and will last for many years with proper care.
