Introducing a sweater just for you. It's made of raw wool that's naturally black, because it comes from actual black sheep. At last, you can wear a figure of speech!
Our sheep hail from Ireland's bucolic County Kerry, where they're raised precisely how you'd imagine sheep would like to be raised — amid a buffet of emerald splendor.
With all the ugly things you hear about overseas manufacturing, rest assured that these sweaters come from a kinder, gentler, world. Andrew Eadie, an authentic, red-headed son of Erin, explains what goes into his black-sheep yarn: "It's made from 100% pure new wool from a certified organic farm, where the sheep have not been dipped in substances hazardous to health and graze on land which is not artificially fertilized."
Sheep dipped in hazardous substances? Yikes!
We promise that our Black Sheep Sweaters have never seen the inside of a chemical vat or smoke-spewing megafactory, only Andrew's centuries-old wool mill and a wee sew shop in Kerry.
But don't take our word for it. Here's an endorsement from Orion, Mighty King of All Black Sheep, as recently delivered from atop the tallest, craggiest, most windswept peak in Ireland:
"BAA! Once upon a time, the black-born sheep was doomed to become little more than mutton stew or a hunchback's cloak! But now Orion, Ovine Overlord of All Black Sheep, does hereby command each and every member of his dusky flock to offer fleece to the clothiers of Betabrand, so that the world may finally hear the sound of our bleats!"

HOW DOES IT FIT? Comfortably. Loose enough to move around in, but not baggy. Select your size based on whatever size t-shirts you wear. If you're between sizes, choose the smaller size.
HOW DO I CARE FOR IT? Like any garment made from raw wool, the Black Sheep Sweater is dry clean only.
VITAL STATISTICS The Black Sheep Sweater is made from 100% natural, undyed and untreated sheep's wool from actual black sheep.
