Pictures of People Wearing... Fishermen's Jumpers

Futurist nutjobs may say otherwise, but in our humble opinion, there are few finer ways to stay warm in the winter than a heavyweight wool jumper.

That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as for a fair while, they were any self-respecting salty sea-dog’s numero uno blunderbuss of choice when it came to staying toasty during perilous expeditions into the deep blue yonder. They ain’t colloquially known ‘fishermen’s jumpers’ for nowt!

Anyway, seeing as though we’ve welcomed those harpoon-proof Andersen-Andersen numbers back into the fold, here are some photos of people wearing ‘em.
