The Gansey is a substantial boxy throw-over. It consists of 2 layers of pre-shrunk linen in contrasting colours: one side is in our soft and shimmery Herringbone, the other in our medium-weight stripes. It is made such that it can be worn with either size out as can be seen in the pics. Watch Ep. 55 of the Slow Wardrobe podcast on YouTube to see it in motion, hear the story behind it and be given lots of styling ideas for it.

Throw it over a complete Layercake for a warm layer that will successfully replace a jacket or coat in all but the coldest weather. Wear it inside as part of a Layercake and it will feel like the cosiest hug; a worthy alternative to a wool jumper!

Available in 2 sizes that can both be worn by a range of different sized and shaped bodies, depending on the silhouette you like. The picture with the model shows both sizes worn on the same body to show the difference. Check the size guide for more details. Neckline, sleeve length and body length are all chosen to work perfectly with your existing Layercakes.
