Introducing the Clyde Cable Knit Jumper from &SONS (£350), a garment that beautifully blends timeless craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic. Inspired by Steve McQueen’s portrayal of Thomas Crown in The Thomas Crown Affair, this jumper is a tribute to rugged elegance and effortless cool. Designed for those who embody the pioneering spirit, the Clyde Jumper is destined to be a wardrobe staple passed down through generations.

Crafted from 100% British wool, the Clyde Jumper carries the rich tradition of the Aran knit, where each intricate stitch tells a story. Historically, these knits were worn by fishermen from Ireland’s Aran Islands, with the patterns symbolizing various aspects of life, prosperity, and nature. The craftsmanship in every stitch reflects a connection to heritage, creating a wearable piece of history that’s both functional and meaningful.

The Clyde Jumper’s commitment to sustainability makes it stand out in today’s fashion landscape. From sourcing to dyeing and spinning, every process is done within a 50-mile radius in the UK, drastically reducing its carbon footprint. The wool, left in its natural, un-dyed state, showcases the authentic beauty of the material, with slight variations in tone that mirror the nuances of nature itself.

Whether you’re braving the wilderness or navigating city streets, the Clyde Jumper is designed to accompany you on life’s journey. With its nod to the past and a design rooted in the present, this knit is as versatile as it is stylish—offering both warmth and a sense of legacy. The inspiration behind the Clyde Jumper comes directly from McQueen’s character in The Thomas Crown Affair, blending rugged masculinity with sophisticated style. Just as Crown embodied a rebellious yet refined nature, this jumper captures that same spirit, making it the perfect companion for those who forge their own path.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Clyde Jumper also honours the rich history of the Aran knit. Stitches like the Ladder of Life and Tree of Life weave a narrative of growth and resilience into the fabric, echoing the heritage of the Aran Islands. Each detail is a reminder of the past while remaining relevant to the modern wearer, making the Clyde Cable Knit Jumper a true celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and style.
