Paul James Mens Midweight Cotton Mock Neck Gansey Jumper

100% Cotton Cable Mock Neck Guernsey Sweater

A modern interpretation of the traditional fisherman’s jumper, the Cromer is rooted in the legacy of late 18th and 19th century Guernsey knits, reworked with clean lines and breathable 100% cotton for contemporary wear.

This relaxed, boxy silhouette features a drop shoulder, mock neck, and a mix of textured stitches across the front and back—including basket, garter, herringbone and moss—to echo the practical craftsmanship of the original seafarers’ garments. The plain-knit sleeves provide visual balance, drawing attention to the intricacy of the body.

The ribbed mock neck and cuffs offer structure, while the garter welt and 2x2 rib hem—finished with subtle side splits—allow ease of movement and a nod to broken seashore waves.

Knitted for comfort, built for daily wear, the Cromer is a breathable, midweight layer ideal for coastal walks, countryside escapes or quiet weekends at home.

Styled with our Oak Brown Heavyweight Extra Fine Merino Fisherman Beanie
