Irish Aran Wool Poncho

Few pieces carry a story like an authentic Irish Aran wool poncho. Handcrafted in Ireland, this cozy layer showcases the traditional horseshoe cable stitch, a pattern originally inspired by the hoofprints of the horses that helped drag fishing boats above the high-water mark on the island of Inishmore. Each swirl of the cable is a nod to centuries of coastal knitting heritage.

Chunky, warm, and effortlessly wearable, this knit poncho slips over anything — jeans and boots for a crisp autumn farmers market, a turtleneck for a winter weekend getaway, or a long-sleeve dress for outdoor festivities when the temperature drops. The relaxed one-size fit drapes beautifully without clinging, making it a flattering choice for every body type.

Whether you're treating yourself or searching for a meaningful gift, this wool poncho delivers heirloom quality with everyday comfort. It's the kind of piece that becomes a cold-weather signature — the one friends ask about every time you wear it.

US size measurements for women are based on bust, waist, and hip measurements.

How to Measure Your Size

The key to determine correct clothing size, is taking correct measurements. It is important to know exactly how to measure your body, and to do it carefully. Measure Bust, Waist, and Hips using a flexible measuring tape and use the size charts to determine the correct size to purchase.

Bust: measure circumference around body over the fullest part of the bust, while wearing a correct fitting bra. Make sure the measuring tape is parallel with the floor all the way around.

Waist: Measure circumference around body at your natural waistline. Your waistline is the narrowest/slimmest part of torso (see illustration above). Note: Waist measurement is a reference measurement. So make sure to measure at the point where torso is slimmest, and NOT where i.e. you want your pants to sit (this is a usual mistake). Still not sure where you waistline is? Stand in front of a mirror, and bend to one side. Your waistline is simply where you can see a natural indentation in torso on this side.

Hips (Seat): Measure circumference of seat at fullest part of your hips.
