The \u003cstrong\u003eFISHERMAN OUT OF IRELAND BAS SEAFOG\u003c\/strong\u003e is a warm men's sweater made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% mulesing-free Geelong lambswool\u003c\/strong\u003e. It features a high skipper collar with a zip, a sturdy seed-stitch knit, and contrasting elbow patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEAFOG\u003c\/strong\u003e is a beautiful combination of blue, grey, and warm brown. The different shades blend subtly together, while the collar, cuffs, and elbow patches show a more prominent blue. Subtle enough to wear often, but definitely not just your average men's sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Fisherman sweater has model number \u003cstrong\u003eFH521G\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Due to the marled yarn and the texture of the knit, the color changes slightly with the light. Sometimes it appears clearly blue, while at other times it looks greyer or warmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue elbow patches, zip collar, and ribbed cuffs provide a beautiful contrast. SEAFOG combines easily with denim, navy, grey, brown, sand, and corduroy. Honestly, you don’t have to think too hard about it. Sweater on, trousers on, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is a skipper sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA skipper sweater, also known as a troyer, has a stand-up collar with a short zipper. Wear the zip closed when it’s cold, or open it up a bit when you want more ventilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can easily wear a T-shirt, wool undershirt, long-sleeve, or button-down shirt under the sweater. With a button-down shirt, BAS gets a polished look; with a T-shirt underneath, it becomes a bit sportier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe seed-stitch knit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater is knitted in a characteristic \u003cstrong\u003eseed stitch\u003c\/strong\u003e. This creates a small, granular structure that gives the knit more depth and traps air between the wool fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes BAS feel warmer and sturdier than a smooth-knit wool sweater. At the same time, the fit remains flexible enough to move comfortably. It is a true winter sweater, without making you look like you are heading out on a polar expedition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKnitted elbow patches for extra durability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are contrasting knitted patches on the elbows. These are not only a nice detail, but they also protect the areas where a wool sweater often wears thin first due to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elbow patches are fully integrated into the design. So, you don't get separate patches sewn on later, but a sturdy and neat finish that perfectly complements the blue cuffs and collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the FISHERMAN BAS fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBAS has a regular, straight men's fit and is true to size. Therefore, choose the size you normally wear. The sweater fits neatly but offers enough room for a thin shirt or button-down underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003esize M\u003c\/strong\u003e, the width from armpit to armpit is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e53 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e. The back length is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e67 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Want to compare the fit? Lay a well-fitting sweater flat and measure it without pulling the knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you prefer your sweaters a bit looser, or do you want to be able to wear a thicker layer underneath? Then you might consider a size larger. In doubt? Please contact us. We’d be happy to measure BAS for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Geelong lambswool?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeelong lambswool is a very fine, soft wool quality from young sheep. The fibers are softer and finer than many common wool types, but they still offer the warmth and resilience you expect from a good wool winter sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool can retain heat, breathe, and absorb moisture without feeling clammy. This keeps BAS comfortable when you are alternating between indoors and outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow wool feels on the skin remains a personal preference. Are you very sensitive to wool? Wear a thin shirt or undershirt underneath, or come feel the sweater in our shop in Rotterdam first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSEAFOG or FIELD?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEAFOG\u003c\/strong\u003e is a marled combination of blue and warm brownish-grey, with distinct blue cuffs and elbow patches. Calm, cool, and very easy to combine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFIELD\u003c\/strong\u003e combines shades of green with warm brown. This color looks earthier and more pronounced, yet remains beautifully balanced due to the marled yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePilling in wool is normal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a new wool sweater, friction can cause small pills or bobbles. This is a natural property of wool and does not mean there is anything wrong with the quality. This can happen especially under the arms, at the elbows, and in places where a coat or bag rubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull the pills off with your fingers. It is better to carefully use a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k.html\"\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/a\u003e. After a few maintenance sessions, pilling generally decreases on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for your BAS lambswool sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWash a wool sweater as little as possible. Usually, airing it out for a night is enough. Wool is less prone to absorbing odors and does not need to be machine-washed after every wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes BAS need washing? Use a reliable cold wool-wash program or wash it gently by hand. Use a small amount of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/lanalicious-wasmiddel.html\"\u003eLanalicious wool detergent\u003c\/a\u003e. Do not wring and never put it in the dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGently reshape the sweater after washing and let it dry flat. Store BAS preferably folded so that the sweater does not stretch out on a hanger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about FISHERMAN BAS SEAFOG\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the BAS skipper sweater made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBAS is made of 100% Geelong lambswool and contains no synthetic fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the wool mulesing-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

It is a skipper sweater, not a cardigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a thick winter sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
