Guernseys :
These are traditional garments,
manufactured to an exacting standard and
designed for years of wear. The sizes shown
below are actual garment size. These
sweaters should be worn at least two inches
larger than chest measurement. If you prefer
a looser fit please order a larger size
still.
Despite every effort to ensure
consistency, the colours shown below may
vary from the actual colour.

The classic Guernsey |
|
The classic Guernsey |
The knitting industry on Guernsey commenced
in the early 16th century, when licences
were granted by the Crown to import wool
from England. Originally hand-knitted in one
piece, the Guernsey sweater developed as a
warm, hard-wearing garment for seamen.
Although now machine-knitted, the tradition
continues. The Guernseys we stock are made
using the best English worsted wool, whose
long fibres have been combed parallel to
each other before spinning, reducing the
likelihood of the surface fibres being
disturbed by rubbing and giving a smooth
surface and clear stitch definition. The
main panels are machine-knitted but every
garment is then finished by hand. The result
is a strong, long-lasting garment that will
hold its shape in both wearing and washing. |

Important Sizing Information
Size exchanges can be a nuisance but
can, hopefully, be avoided if you follow
our sizing guidelines. If possible,
select a similar style of knitwear or
T-shirt which you currently wear and
feel comfortable in, and measure across
the chest, from underarm to underarm, as
shown in the image at left. Double this
measurement to arrive at the actual
garment size. Then compare the
measurement of your garment, in inches,
to the ones shown on each product page.
Please do not confuse the measurements
we show on each page with a person’s
body measurement; the measurements
listed are the actual dimensions of our
knitwear and Breton shirts.
A size 44 Guernsey sweater, for example,
will measure 44 inches all round, but
this does not fit a 44 inch chest, it
will be suitable for someone with a
chest measurement of 40 or 42 inches.
Please do take the time to measure your
own garments before you order, to
prevent size exchanges. We keep our
costs to a minimum, to offer the best
possible price, and will have to pass on
the cost of return postage for exchanged
items.
