The History Of The Guernsey (Gansey) Jumper

The Guernsey is a hard-wearing jumper worn by Fisherman who took on the ruthless environment out at sea. It traces it's roots back 400 years to the Island of Guernsey where many isolated communities had no choice but to be self-sufficient.

Fisherman's wives (or prospective ones) would knit the Guernsey's to protect their partners from the harsh conditions they were subjected to. The identical front and back patterns allowed the jumpers to be reversed in instances of excessive wear. In the unfortunate and tragic event that fishermen were lost at sea, their bodies were identified by the unique patterns on their Guernsey. A little morbid but an interesting conversation starter, for the correct audience of-course.
