Cowichan influenced wool, Faroese shaped shoulders and Shetland lace patterns combine to create a heavy outer garment – perfect for any cold weather climate.

Designed to be worn over any style of jacket – I wear mine over my Denim Jacket!

Wool holds warmth and repels water, the Faroese shoulders shaping allow the heavy wool to sit beautifully on the shoulders and the Shetland patterns add a feminine note to a very practical garment. The front closure as shown could easily be omitted to allow for a heavy pin or wooden shawl stick to hold the fronts closed.
