Keep it long, treasure it long.

Because it has no sleeves, it offers freedom.

This shaggy vest features beautiful colors and a soft, fluffy texture. Its fluffy characteristic is achieved through a knitting surface treatment technique that uses the thorns of a thistle flower to create an air layer – a masterpiece of knitwear born in the Shetland Islands, the home of knitting, for warmth and waterproofing. Shaggy sweaters, whose manufacturing factories are decreasing year by year even in the Shetland Islands, are a piece you'll want to own in this vest style, adapted for modern times.

The fluffy and gentle feel of the shaggy dog ​​knit and the air layer created for warmth fulfill the proper function of knitwear, not just being cute. While not inexpensive, its warmth, fluffiness, and the charm of its craftsmanship offer unparalleled value.

In recent years, with milder winters shortening the period for wearing heavy outerwear, opportunities to enjoy stylish winter knitwear have decreased. However, with a shaggy vest, you can wear it for a longer period, enjoying both the wintery feel and warmth.

It's a basic style that can be worn for a long time without being affected by trends, offering a lightweight and comfortable fit without stress. It's the perfect layering piece for changing climates. The freedom created by the lack of sleeves is beyond imagination. With a sweater with sleeves, sometimes when you put on a jacket, the sleeves become bulky and tight, making it difficult to move your arms.
With a vest, you don't have to worry about that. Whether it's a slim coat, a down jacket, or a blouson, there are no restrictions on your choice of outerwear. Not having to give up your favorite outerwear is another charm of the vest.

The colors are easy to coordinate with autumn and winter bottoms and outerwear. If you tend to wear a lot of dark tones, choose a brighter color. Strawberry Sherbet is a cute Shetland vest with light pink and milky white threads. Since Shetland sweaters are characterized by their vibrant colors, bright colors like pistachio are also recommended. The Origin of the "Shaggy Dog" Nickname

The Shetland sweater has been cherished for centuries by the people of the Shetland Islands, who live in a harsh natural environment with severe weather conditions, as a means of protecting themselves from the elements. Shetland Woollen Co. is a factory specializing in Shetland sweaters, located in the Shetland Islands, a wool-producing region in northern Scotland.

Shetland Woollen Co. has been manufacturing Shetland sweaters since the 1970s, and has long been a dedicated manufacturer, also operating its own brand store. The shaggy sweater, which reduces cold and water penetration by creating an air layer through brushing the surface of the Shetland sweater with thistle thorns (the national flower of Scotland), was originally developed by Shetland Woollen Co., which continues to operate quietly in the Shetland Islands today.

Shetland Woollen Co., which continues to produce high-quality, traditionally made knitwear, maintains the same quality as in the past and has become a globally loved established brand, attracting attention from select shops in London and Manchester.

The Commitment of an Established Brand

Shetland Woollen Co., which can be considered the originator of the shaggy sweater, continues to use the traditional method of knitting in parts and linking them together, rather than the more efficient whole-garment knitting method. The Shetland knitwear is seamlessly knitted without any visible seams. While whole-garment knitting often results in weaker stitching in the underarm area, Shetland Woollen Co. boasts high strength in the connecting seams. The yarn used is Supersoft Shetland yarn from J.C. Rennie, a Scottish spinning mill that has been in operation since 1798. J.C. Rennie is a factory that uses traditional techniques to spin yarn and manufacture thick, elastic fabrics with a soft feel, and has the technology and reliability to supply materials to brands worldwide.

Furthermore, while most shaggy dog ​​sweaters are brushed only once or twice using thistle (the national flower of Scotland), Shetland-woollen-co brushes theirs three to four times. This brushing process creates a fluffy air layer that enhances warmth and also improves water resistance, allowing you to wear the knitwear even warmer in the cold season.

Soft and Vibrant Colors
