Aren Islands
The most eye-catching item in an Irish wardrobe is the Aran sweater, which is a creamy white color. Originally designed for fishermen, the Aran sweater was made from unprocessed wool and had waterproof properties, allowing it to be worn even when wet. The Aran sweater was the ideal garment for sailors crossing the Atlantic. Today, the Aran sweater has been processed to have a strong skin feel and improved texture. Although the Aran sweater can be found everywhere in Ireland, why not take a boat to the Aran Islands and buy an authentic sweater from its place of origin?
