Traditional Gangsey - Knitted by hand.

Knitted in rich navy blue wool, this traditional nautical gansey draws on a long seafaring history. Originally worn by fishermen, gangseys were designed to be hard-wearing, weather-resistant, and warm, with dense stitches that helped shed wind and sea spray. Their simple, functional shapes were made to work at sea, while subtle patterning often told stories of place and craft.

Carefully knitted using time-honoured techniques, this gansey offers a structured yet comfortable fit and is designed to wear beautifully, improving with age. It is available in pre-set sizes S, M, L, and XL.

For those seeking something truly personal, a made-to-measure service is available. For an additional £200, your gansey will be knitted to your exact measurements and specifications.

Each piece is finished with a wooden “Knitted at Sea” logo, carved with a tall ship — a quiet emblem of maritime heritage and craftsmanship.
