Scarborough Gansey
For centuries Scarborough relied heavily on the sea.
During the mid 1800s Scarborough was the busiest port along the coast and later became world famous for fishing giant Atlantic blue fin tuna, locally nicknamed "Tunny".
As tuna followed herring fleets up the Yorkshire coast, wealthy aristocrats, millionaires and film stars from all over the world flocked to Scarborough to hire boats and try to capture the largest prize.
To celebrate this amazing history we’ve resurrected the Scarborough Gansey, originally worn to keep fishermen warm whilst out on the rough North Sea.
With a host of intricate motifs running in different directions to make up this unique pattern, it is truly a work of art we've nicknamed "The Tunny".
This pattern was unique to Scarborough, so when lost at sea or after drinking too many shandies, the fishermen could be identified and returned home to their loved ones.
 
• British made using 100% British oiled wool
• Machine-knitted using traditional seamless construction
• Hard wearing - bloody warm
• Unisex fit - perfect for both lads and lasses
 
Please note:- The sleeves are knitted slightly shorter than a regular jumper as fishermen didn’t want hooks getting snagged in the cuffs, hauling them overboard. Underneath the armpits are gussets, which allow free movement when working.
 
This Gansey has a regular fit, suiting most people and most body shapes. If you want a regular fit then we recommend ordering the size you usually wear and if you want a loose slouchy fit then order size up.
