Just a FYI, the Irish people do not wear these sweaters. My boyfriend said only the tourists wear them.
@Kat mom - Is your boyfriend Irish? I certainly saw people wearing them during the 20 years I lived in England (and traveled throughout the UK). I have close friends of Irish heritage and they wear them. Wool sweaters are especially warm in rainy, colder areas, and the lanolin in wool helps to repel water, so I'm not sure why no one in Ireland would wear them.
What's the source of your boyfriend's information?
Plus, I don't care who does or does not wear these beautiful wool sweaters. I like them and I do wear them!
