Saol is the Irish word for “life,” signifying the connection of the individual to society and culture. In other words, saol is what makes life worth living. SAOL channels these themes throughout several lines that seek to provide high-quality garments based on traditional Irish apparel, updated for modern tastes, and perfect for everyday wear. What Makes Our Sweaters Different Every piece is specially washed, dried and steamed before being treated with an anti-shrink technology that makes it machine washable without the risk of losing proportion. And all sections of our garments are hand linked, including the collar, sleeves and sides, making for a seamless finish. Wear the Tradition The knit styles of our collections date to the turn of the 20th century in the remote Aran Islands off the coast of County Galway in the west of Ireland. To this day, the beautiful patterns of honeycomb, cable and diamond stitches give these sweaters a unique three-dimensional texture that allows air to circulate throughout the garment while providing a crucial insulating layer that keeps cold winds out and warm body heat in. Give “life” to your layers with SAOL.

Arrived sooner than expected.I’m in the process of converting my wardrobe from cotton and synthetics to wool, for health, sustainability and to reduce environmental pollution. Because wool costs a little more, I’m choosing to own fewer, more versatile and well made items.This garment looks beautiful and appears to be well made. The color is close to the color in the photos. The texture is soft and not scratchy on bare skin.It’s a little bit heavier weight yarn than I thought it would be from the photos and it could pass as hand-made, whereas the photo seemed to have more of a machine knit appearance. It is warm and cozy!I love that it has pockets and they are made so that they don’t add much noticeable bulk to the garment.I’m 5 feet tall and about 125 pounds. The small fits as expected for a sweater coat, with enough room to put a layer or two under it. I want to wear this as a sweater dress over a long cami top and leggings (The office I work in gets a bit chilly.) and it looks great that way. I may order another in an extra small, though, to see if I like that fit better for that purpose.The price is a considerable investment for me, given my income, but with the proper care, I expect this to last for several winters and the style leans more toward classic then trendy, giving it longevity as a fashion statement. I’m pleased with this purchase and consider the material, quality and appearance to be worth the price. I would buy this again.
