Merino-Rich Warmth

Merino wool provides natural warmth while remaining breathable, helping the pullover feel comfortable as conditions and activity levels change.

The wool also naturally helps manage moisture and resist odour, making the Colonsay a practical choice for extended days away from home.

Durable Blended Construction

Acrylic is blended with the merino wool to increase durability and help the pullover maintain its shape through regular wear.

This combination balances the natural performance and softness of merino with the resilience expected from everyday country knitwear.

Traditional Fair Isle Design

The decorative Fair Isle pattern runs across the chest, giving the pullover a distinctive heritage-inspired appearance.

Its traditional design works equally well with jeans and dealer boots for casual occasions or with moleskin trousers and a country jacket for a smarter outfit.

Adjustable Quarter-Zip Neck

The quarter-length zip can be closed for additional coverage around the neck or opened to improve ventilation and create a more relaxed appearance.

A dependable YKK zip, antique-brass-coloured finish and branded puller complete the classic country styling.

Substantial 7-Gauge Knit

The 7-gauge construction creates a substantial knit with visible texture and reassuring warmth.

It can be worn over a shirt or base layer and fits comfortably beneath a waxed, quilted or waterproof country jacket when additional protection is required.
