If ever you saw a Tarpon, you’d know it! They’re the big, silvery, leaping marine creatures we associate with game fishing. In fact, Tarpon are considered some of the greatest saltwater game fishes in the South because of their large size, acrobatic leaping ability and tenacious fight. Tarpon also breathe! They’ll die if not given sufficient access to the surface, which may account for their spectacular leaps into the air.

Leaping Tarpon, expressed with a simple ribbed cable, emboss the sleeves of this easy raglan pullover. The cable is fluid, streaming effortlessly into ribbing at the yoke and cuff. This essential top-down pullover uses classic raglan shaping techniques to create a spare, boxy shape and gently squared neckline. Tarpon is designed for an easy fit, slightly oversized, with 2” to 6” or positive ease recommended.
