AvieMoor Sweater / Vest

The rugged isle if Skye boatmen off the western coast of Scotland required rugged woolen sweaters for their adventures and arduous seafaring work. Out of necessity and ingenuity they devised a method of boiling their already world renowned Scottish wool in an effort to make their sweaters not only resistant to the bracing Scottish climate, but also a softer and impervious wool that today remains highly sought after and difficult to produce.

Our proprietary BraeVal Skye Boatmen Boil of fine merino wool is boiled and felted using their ancient process, but modernized - shrinking and compressing our merino wool over 40% resulting in a more compact, denser wool that resists wind and water and is soft to the touch.
