The \u003cstrong\u003eFISHERMAN OUT OF IRELAND JOEP RUST\u003c\/strong\u003e is a chunky knit men’s sweater made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% pure, mulesing-free merino wool\u003c\/strong\u003e. Warm, rugged, and strikingly beautiful thanks to the speckled Donegal yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRUST\u003c\/strong\u003e is a deep, warm rust-orange color with small specks in shades including green, pink, and natural. From a distance, you see mostly that rich rust color; up close, you keep discovering more tones in the yarn. It’s exactly the kind of color that instantly turns a simple pair of jeans into a complete outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJOEP is model \u003cstrong\u003eFI600M\u003c\/strong\u003e from Fisherman Out of Ireland and belongs to the thicker wool sweaters in our collection. This is not a thin merino sweater, but a sturdy Irish sweater in which you can face winter with significantly more enthusiasm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy JOEP is such a great wool sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade from 100% pure merino wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely mulesing-free wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThick, warm, and soft knit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable and temperature-regulating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCharacteristic speckled Donegal yarn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWarm rust-orange color with subtle color nuances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelaxed fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCrew neck with a rolled-edge trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRolled edges on the sleeves and bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eModel number FI600M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in RUST, STEEL WOOL, SCOTS PINE, and SEAWEED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRUST: warm orange with Donegal specks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRUST is not a loud orange, but a deep, warm color reminiscent of autumn leaves, brick, and that last bit of evening sun. The yarn contains small specks in different colors. You can see green, pink, dark, and natural fibers, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis gives the sweater much more depth than a solid-colored knit. RUST combines beautifully with denim, dark blue, olive green, anthracite, brown, and sand. Surprisingly, it goes with almost everything. Orange turns out to be a lot less complicated when a group of Irish knitters works with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA thick wool sweater for really cold days\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJOEP is exceptionally thick and warmly knitted. The structure of the knit holds a lot of air and helps retain your body heat well. This makes it a wonderful sweater for cold autumn and winter days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater has a relaxed, straight fit and offers enough room to wear a shirt or a thin wool undershirt underneath. Despite the sturdy knit, the sweater doesn't feel stiff or heavy. It’s the kind of sweater you put on during a cold walk and then just keep wearing when you come back inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA roll-neck without a high collar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFisherman describes the neckline as a roll-neck. In the case of JOEP, this does not mean a high collar, but a \u003cstrong\u003ecrew neck with a narrow rolled trim\u003c\/strong\u003e. The neckline stays low and does not sit tightly around your neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same relaxed rolled edge is seen on the sleeves and at the bottom. This finish gives the sweater its rugged, unrefined look. Classic Irish knitwear, but without it feeling like you're on your way to a fisherman-themed costume party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the FISHERMAN JOEP fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Fisherman Out of Ireland, JOEP has a \u003cstrong\u003erelaxed fit\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sweater is straight and comfortable, with plenty of room around the upper body. In principle, choose the size you normally wear if you like a relaxed fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWould you like to wear the sweater a bit more fitted, or are you between two sizes? Then compare the sizes below with a well-fitting sweater from your own closet. Lay that sweater flat and measure it without stretching the knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize chart FISHERMAN JOEP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the sizes provided by Fisherman Out of Ireland for model FI600M. The chest size is the total chest circumference of the sweater. To find the width from armpit to armpit, divide this size by two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eXL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eXXL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eChest circumference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e99 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e104 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e109 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e114 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e119 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e66 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e67 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e68.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e71 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that knitted clothing can always vary slightly. Wool is not a steel construction, after all. Are you in doubt about the size? Please contact us. We will happily measure the sweater for you again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePure merino wool with a real wool feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJOEP is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% pure merino wool\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wool used is completely mulesing-free. Mulesing involves removing skin around the hindquarters of a sheep to prevent issues with fly larvae. This painful treatment has not been applied to this wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool retains heat well but can also breathe and absorb moisture. As a result, the sweater remains cozy without feeling clammy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sweater is thick and sturdily knitted and has a real wool feel. So don't expect a wafer-thin, smooth merino top. Are you sensitive to wool? Then wear a thin shirt made of wool and silk or cotton underneath, or come feel it in our shop first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Donegal wool?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou recognize Donegal yarn by the small colored specks worked into the wool. During spinning, fibers in different shades are added to the yarn. In RUST, these specks provide small green, pink, dark, and natural accents in the warm orange base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, the specks are not stains, loose fluff, or manufacturing errors. They belong to the yarn and give every sweater its lively, Irish appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eJOEP is available in four colors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRUST:\u003c\/strong\u003e a deep, warm rust-orange color with colored specks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTEEL WOOL:\u003c\/strong\u003e deep dark gray, almost anthracite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCOTS PINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e a dark blue-green to petrol tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSEAWEED:\u003c\/strong\u003e a calm olive to moss green color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRUST is the warmest and most pronounced color of the four. It stands out, but because of the deep tone and the speckled yarn, it is surprisingly easy to combine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do you do if the sweater starts to pill?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmall pieces of fuzz or balls can appear on a new wool sweater at first. That is a natural property of wool and says nothing about the quality. Movement and friction cause loose fibers to come to the surface. You often see this first under the arms, along the sides, or in places where a jacket or bag rubs against the sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull the fuzz off with your fingers. This can pull new fibers out of the knit. Instead, 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, the pilling usually decreases on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for the JOEP merino sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, you almost never have to wash wool. After wearing, hang JOEP outside or near an open window for a night. Merino wool is less prone to absorbing odors and, after airing out well, is often fresh enough to wear again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes the sweater need to be washed? Choose a cool hand wash or a reliable cold wool-wash cycle. Use a small amount of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/lanalicious-wasmiddel.html\"\u003eLanalicious wool detergent\u003c\/a\u003e. Do not rub, do not wring, and never put it in the dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGently pull the damp sweater into shape and let it dry flat on a towel. Afterwards, it is best to store JOEP folded. A thick wool sweater can stretch on a hanger at the shoulders or in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can find extra explanation in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R-f1fq2Kwuw\"\u003eVera's video on washing and caring for wool clothing\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about FISHERMAN JOEP RUST\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the sweater made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FISHERMAN JOEP is made of 100% pure merino wool and contains no synthetic fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the merino wool mulesing-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The wool that Fisherman Out of Ireland uses for this sweater is completely mulesing-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat color is RUST?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRUST is a deep rust-orange color with small colored Donegal specks. In the yarn, you see green, pink, dark, and natural fibers, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the FISHERMAN JOEP fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJOEP has a relaxed fit and is straight and comfortable. In principle, choose your usual size. When in doubt, compare the size chart with a well-fitting sweater from your own closet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is JOEP in size L?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the size chart, size L has a chest circumference of approximately 109 cm and a length of approximately 68.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs JOEP a turtleneck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The sweater has a low, round neck with a rolled trim. The term roll-neck here refers to the finish and not a high collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a thick wool sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. JOEP belongs to the thicker and warmer wool sweaters in our collection. Ideal for cold autumn and winter days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this wool sweater itch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat differs per person. JOEP is sturdily knitted and has a real wool feel. If you are sensitive to wool, wear a thin shirt underneath or come try it on at our shop first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan JOEP go in the washing machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly on a reliable cold wool-wash cycle and with special wool detergent. Airing it out is our preference. Do not use a dryer and always let the sweater dry flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on JOEP in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to see the color RUST in real life, feel the thick knit, or compare the different sizes?
