The chunky fisherman sweater—knit on North Atlantic shores
from Norway to Nova Scotia—is distinguished by its varying
textures and symmetrical patterns. Traditionally it was made
from untreated wool, which is naturally waterproof.
This fall, longtime L.L.Bean fan Todd Snyder is releasing a
40-piece collection with the Maine-based outfitter that includes
an update of the company’s classic pullovers. And ever since
Chris Evans wore a lookalike in last year’s Knives Out, Orvis’s
Irish fisherman sweater has repeatedly sold out. But any of
these seven versions will make a statement, at sea or on land.L.L.BEAN MEN’S SIGNATURE COTTON
