The Gansey

Shown at left are two Flamborough residents in their ganseys, photographed at North Landing, Flamborough. On the slipway in the background is a coble, the distinctive north-eastern fishing boat, and the symbol of Flamborough Marine Limited.

This is our most detailed site, however, we also have two separate sites, one for Flamborough Marine in general, and one for Armor Lux specifically, which have been optimized for viewing on smaller screens.

Information on our various products is available on this site. However, we also have a separate Flamborough Marine web-site, which has been optimized for viewing on smaller screens, and is available by clicking the image above.

Information on our Armor Lux range is available on this site. However, we also have a dedicated Armor Lux web-site, which has been optimized for viewing on smaller screens, and is available by clicking the image above.

 

Sizing Information
for machine-knitted
garments

[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 40 or 42 inches.

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.
 

Postage Charges

For orders outside the UK postage is charged at actual cost using the most economical tariff. Postage charges for orders sent to a UK address vary depending on the items ordered. Please refer to the "Ordering Information" page for further details.
 

Pricing Information

We are not part of the VAT (Value Added Tax) scheme. All prices shown on this web-site are NET with postage only to be added to mail orders. Details of postage charges for UK and International destinations are shown on the "Ordering Information" page.
