Women's Zip-Front Irish Tweed Cardigan from Ireland Carried by Orvis Highly Recommended by Whom You Know



Ooooh you know we are on a big, big kick to find the best products made in the USA, but do you know what is just as good if not better?  Products from the MOTHER COUNTRY which is of course IRELAND!!!!  Whom You Know is pleased to begin working with Orvis today in our inaugural post on Orvis, a company with 150 years of excellence from New England.  You guessed it-Peachy's Irish ancestors settled in New England so OF COURSE we were going to love love love this sweater, and guess what, Peachy Deegan is wearing it right this minute!  Rich in Irish heritage, this classic style is crafted of the finest merino wool. Its multi-cable knit pattern finds its roots in centuries of knitting in small Irish fishing villages.  We will warn you if you are undertall like Peachy, this will fall below your waist...no petite sizes that we know of. Ribbed stand collar, cuffs, and hem. Front pockets. Women's zip front cardigan sweater in blue, oatmeal, green. But you know we recommend this most highly in GREEN.  Dry clean. Ireland.
Sizes: S(6-8), M(10-12), L(14-16), XL(18-20); about 24" long.


The process of creating exceptional quality products begins when we design a new item. Samples are made, delivered to our office for review, and then are immediately sent out for testing. Watches, pants, socks, and shirts are all subjected to rigorous demands in active field trials—they’re bumped, banged, stretched, snagged by brambles, dunked in streams, and marched over mountains. According to their performances, adjustments are made, then revised samples are sent back to the field for more work. Only when an item is deemed “absolutely right” by our team does manufacturing begin.

Every step of the way, our dedicated associates work hard to ensure that the quality of every product surpasses your expectations. We care deeply about quality, and sell only what we ourselves would be proud to own or give as a gift.
