Sizing Information for machine-knits [Additional sizing information for hand-knitted Ganseys can be found here.] Size exchanges can be a nuisance but can, hopefully, be avoided if you follow our sizing guidelines. If possible, select a similar style of knitwear or T-shirt which you currently wear and feel comfortable in, and measure across the chest, from underarm to underarm, as shown in the image above. Double this measurement to arrive at the actual garment size. Then compare the measurement of your garment, in inches, to the ones shown on each product page. Please do not confuse the measurements we show on each page with a person’s body measurement; the measurements listed are the actual dimensions of our knitwear and Breton shirts. A size 44 Guernsey sweater, for example, will measure 44 inches all round, but this does not fit a 44 inch chest, it will be suitable for someone with a chest measurement of 42 inches (for a comfortable fit) or 40 inches (for a loose fit). In general, we recommend the two inch increment as being suitable for most people. Please do take the time to measure your own garments before you order, to prevent size exchanges. We keep our costs to a minimum, to offer the best possible price, and will have to pass on the cost of return postage for exchanged items.

The knitting industry on Guernsey commenced in the early 16th century, when licences were granted by the Crown to import wool from England. Originally hand-knitted in one piece, the Guernsey sweater developed as a warm, hard- wearing garment for seamen. Although now machine-knitted, the tradition continues. The Guernseys we stock are made using the best English worsted wool, whose long fibres have been combed parallel to each other before spinning, reducing the likelihood of the surface fibres being disturbed by rubbing and giving a smooth surface and clear stitch definition. The result is a strong, long-lasting garment that will hold its shape in both wearing and washing.

“Premium” or “Rocquaine”? Le   Tricoteur   Guernseys   are   basically   machine-knitted   with   some   hand   finishing. From   the   shoulder   down   both   styles   are   identical,   using   the   same   type   of   pure wool.   With   the   "Rocquaine"   version   the   neck   is   machine-knitted   as   part   of   the body   and   the   small   gusset   at   either   side   of   the   neck   (where   it   joins   the   shoulder strap)   is   linked   by   hand.   With   the      “Premium”   range   the   shoulder   strap   and   neck are still done by hand. The   “Rocquaine”   version   is   currently   available   in   three   colours   only   (Navy,   Loden and   Charcoal)   and   from   sizes   38”   to   48”.   The   “Premium”   version   is   available   in   a much wider selection of colours (as shown below) and sizes from 36” to 56”.
