"We crowned the Shaggy Dog the best of our winter sweaters for the same reason it's topping our list of Shetland sweaters: the trifecta of timelessness, warmth, and style. J. Press has made this sweater for most of the 20th century and all of the 21st. And while it wasn't the first brushed wool, Shetland-style sweater ever made (more on that later), it did turn American Ivy style into devoted fans of the style."
"Leave it to Filson to make a fisherman's style sweater even more rugged by mentioning, in the product copy, that Sir Edmund Hillary summited Everest in Shetland wool. A big detail for a New Zealander mountaineer, an island with its own famous Merino wool industry. Filson makes a summit-worthy successor here, with a boxy build, raglan sleeves, and 2x2 rib-knit cuffs, hem and collar."
The Shaggy Dog exemplifies timelessness, warmth, and style and has been produced by J. Press throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. J. Press's Shaggy Dog helped popularize Shetland-style brushed wool within American Ivy style and remains available in multiple versions and collaborations with brands like Alex Mill. Filson produces a rugged fisherman's Shetland sweater with a boxy build, raglan sleeves, and 2x2 rib-knit cuffs, hem, and collar for extra mobility and range of motion. Kestin blends heritage Scottish fabrics with contemporary design to create oversized Shetland wool polos suitable for layering under blazers or wearing alone. Brooks Brothers continues to offer prep-oriented Shetland sweaters as part of that tradition.
