How did you come across Shackleton? Known for years

“I purchased an xl navy blue hero sweater as a back up to a much loved one I have had for a few years now. My original one was Italian made. My new sweater is no match for the old one. The Italian made version had a fitted feel while this new one is baggy and shapeless. It does feel softer than the old one but, other than that, it is an inferior product. It is still a nice sweater though and, like the original, manages to keep you warm outside while not too hot inside.”

We appreciate you sharing your feedback and we'll certainly share this with our product team. While both the British and Italian versions of the Hero are made using the same yarn, there may be a slight difference in fit. We'd be happy to advise you further in regards to sizing, and if you have any questions please contact info@shackleton.com.

How did you come across Shackleton? I have been a customer from the early days when you sold banjos. I have known about you for so long that I cannot remember what is was that first caught my attention.

“This sweater is cut true to size so looks great, as well as being functional. The wool is very soft and not in the least scratchy. The roll neck is high enough to protect the neck and being soft wool, is barely noticeable. All in all, a superb jumper and typical of the Shackleton’stable’.”
