Nigel Cabourn Authentic Fair Isle Knit Sweater from the collection. This piece reinterprets the heavy wool layers worn by British Royal Air Force (RAF) personnel and Arctic convoys during the cold winter months of World War II and the Korean War. The inclusion of safety-orange or crimson rows amidst grey bases mimics the high-visibility accent strips common in historical extreme-weather survival gear. The knitting style directly adapts traditional Scottish Fair Isle technique, which originated in the remote Shetland Islands. Historically, the intricate  OXO  geometric rows and stylised snowflake motifs were hand-knitted by the wives of fishermen using coarse Shetland wool.
