Exclusive! In western Ireland, sheep still graze the countryside, herded home by keeper and collies. The undyed naturally-brown wool of these sweaters is knitted in a mill beside the River Gweestin, where woolens have been made since the 17th century. With the traditional pattern of the Aran Islands, this sweater has substantial weight without being bulky. Also available in Oatmeal and Natural Cream. Made in County Kerry, Ireland. Sized for men, women order one size smaller than usual. XS-XXL.

Organic Blach Sheep Wool Sweater

Galesong offers so few items to men, but they do offer this amazing sweater. I've wanted it for a long time, and I'm very happy to have it now. I know I will enjoy it for years to come.

Great classic sweater

I had been considering buying this sweater for several years and finally took the plunge. Deciding on what size to get was difficult. Normally I purchase XL in women's sweaters and L in men's, but, going by the measurements and the reviews, I choose medium. It does fit well, but if someone wants it to fit big and long, I would suggest getting his/her usual size. The odor is quite noticeable, especially fresh out of the package. I don't mind it, but it may bother others until it has ample time to air out. The quality is superb and it is very warm. I am very happy with my purchase.

sizing

So many other reviewers are raving about this sweater and I agree. It's wonderful, destined to be an heirloom. I wanted to add a note for ladies about sizing. These are generously sized. I wear a women's 18, or a 16 in designer brands, and the size small fits me perfectly.

A great purchase

This sweater is so soft and warm and I love that it comes from black sheep in Ireland and from a mill that's been in operation for so long. It was a wonderful purchase! I'm female, 5'3" and 130 lbs., but bought it in the unisex medium so that it'll be vastly oversized to wear over thick turtlenecks. I love it!

Beautiful

I bought this sweater as a Christmas gift to myself. I'm petite, but I like over-sized sweaters. I LOVE the fact that it's from a natural black sheep and from such an old traditional mill. The wool is soft and thick and very cuddly. It was a wonderful buy.

Purchased Years Ago, Still Awesome!

I purchased this organic black sheep sweater from GaelSong several years ago, and I must say it wears exceptionally well. The sweater still looks almost as nice as it did nearly ten years ago, and is just as warm and water resistant. I highly recommend this product if you want a REAL Aran sweater that retains all the craftsmanship, comfort, and ruggedness of the original sweater worn by the Aran fishermen of old.

Wool Sweater

This is a very nice wool sweater. I wore it once but my boyfriend was allergic to it, so I'll have to wash it soon. It looks quite thick but isn't super tightly woven, so it needs to be layered to be super warm. I like that it is unprocessed wool. The size is a bit large though for the size. I got a small but it fits on me like a medium or large. But I suppose that's better than if it was too tight and small. It was delivered on time.
