! Brand, Heritage & This Garment's Story:

This piece carries the Shades of Aran name and a Made in Ireland label. Its cable-knit texture connects visually with the wider Aran knitwear tradition. The National Museum of Ireland traces the development of richly patterned Aran knitting through the early twentieth century, with increasingly intricate designs emerging in the 1930s. This is general knitwear history, not a date or production record for this poncho.

The brand's founding history, this garment's production year, specific workshop and previous ownership are not documented here. Hand-knitting, island manufacture and a vintage production date have not been established. Its confirmed story is an Irish-made merino wool layer, now offered pre-owned for its next chapter.

~ A Thoughtful Second-Life Choice:

Choosing an existing garment extends its useful life. When a pre-owned purchase replaces a newly manufactured item, it can reduce demand for new production. Thoughtful care and repeated wear help make the most of this substantial knit.

Sustainability calculation: A reliable item-specific CO₂, water or energy saving cannot be calculated from the available information. That would require garment weight, production and transport data, care assumptions and a defined new-item comparison. No numerical savings or guaranteed landfill diversion are claimed; actual impact depends on shipping, care and what this purchase replaces.

~ Size Chart | Flat Measurements in Inches:

Measurements are approximate and taken with the garment laid flat. The 52-inch width is a garment measurement, not a recommended body-bust size. Compare with a similar garment you own to judge your preferred drape. One size does not guarantee a fit for every body.

• Dry clean or hand wash warm at 40°C (104°F).
