Cowichan Sweater - Eagle

Description

Every Cowichan sweater tells a story. Expertly hand-knit by skilled artisans on Vancouver Island, these iconic sweaters are made from 100% pure virgin wool, prized for its natural warmth, water resistance, and durability. Each garment is truly one of a kind — because it’s handmade, the pattern and tones may vary slightly from the photo, giving your sweater its own distinctive character. The dense, heavy-knit wool provides exceptional insulation, making it ideal for Canada’s cold winters and outdoor adventures. Warm, breathable, and built to last — an authentic Cowichan sweater is more than clothing; it’s a piece of Canadian history you can wear. Approximate Measurements: 46: Chest Circumference 46", Body Length 34", Arm Length 27" 48: Chest Circumference 48", Body Length 26-28", Arm Length 33" What sets it apart: most sweaters sold today are acrylic, or wool blended with nylon. This one is 100% raw, undyed wool, hand-knit by Coast Salish knitters on Vancouver Island; the natural lanolin makes it shed water without any synthetic coating. In 2011 the Government of Canada recognised Cowichan knitting as nationally significant.
