The rib at the top of the sleeve is said to represent a sailing ship's rope ladder in the rigging, the raised seam across the shoulder a rope and the garter stitch panel, waves breaking upon the beach.In order to be a genuine Guernsey, the jumper must be made of British worsted wool. It is knitted with close stitches from tightly twisted wool and this gives it its ability to withstand sea spray and rain. This results in a strong, long lasting garment that will hold its shape better in both wear and washing.CHANNEL JUMPER LTDThe company was started as a Cottage industry in 1974 and has been registered in Alderney since March 1976. The intention was to revive the Alderney sweater which had not been in production for over 50 years, and to establish a knitting industry on the Island. Today the company produces the traditional Guernsey sweater in a variety of styles as well as a range of contemporary knitwear for men and women. ## Features - Genuine Guernsey Jumper made in Alderney (Bailiwick of Guernsey) - Knitted with close stiches - with the traditional neck style and knitting patterns - 100% Certified British Worsted Wool - Long Sleeve - We only use the finest British worsted wool - long lasting and hard wearing - Front and back are identical, so it can be worn on both sides just like the fishermen did. - Wear the tradition from the heart of the islands ## Images ![Genuine Traditional Guernsey Jumper from The Channel Islands - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/815q17HOqcL.jpg) ![Genuine Traditional Guernsey Jumper from The Channel Islands - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91d%2BFQx0LNL.jpg) ![Genuine Traditional Guernsey Jumper from The Channel Islands - Image 3](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81kNpC9MwtL.jpg) ![Genuine Traditional Guernsey Jumper from The Channel Islands - Image 4](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91cVlKydF1L.jpg) ![Genuine Traditional Guernsey Jumper from The Channel Islands - Image 5](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81vbf%2BUA0kL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Colour, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nostalgic quality *by P***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2019* Excellent quality and value. I had an authentic Guernsey jumper nearly 40 years ago. Receiving this one today was no disappointment, the quality and comfort was just as good I remembered. The size of the jumper ordered was, as was suggested, one size bigger than I would normally buy and it fits well. It does need a tee shirt underneath it as it is a bit scratchy without it but it will soften with age if I remember rightly.How nice to buy something as good a quality as the same product was many years ago. Nostalgic craftsmanship. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Stuff *by G***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2017* Arrived on time and well packaged. I ordered a size 48 though i am usually a 44 depending on how much i've eaten and the ability of highstreet stores to size properly. This has left some room to breathe and is at the moment a comfortable loose sizing. The sleeves and neck are nice and tight regardless so this makes a looser fit more practical. The wool is rough as described and does require an long sleeve t-shirt under it in my opinion but it is very warm! As an aside, i have had low quality jumpers that have lasted a good couple of years, but it only takes you a minute to know that this one will last forever. The weight alone tells you that and the close weave gives you a bombproof impression. Well worth the money. Get a size bigger and save everyones time, but one size is enough. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A piece of our heritage *by R***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2016* This is my second Guernsey jumper. The other I bought on a holiday to the Channel Islands 20 years ago and is still going strong.First intended as workwear for fishermen, so it's tough wearing wool. I like to wear a long-sleeved cotton t-shirt or cotton sweater underneath. For a softer feel wash in a wool shampoo that includes lanolin. This jumper has been used by the armed forces, during the 19th century by the Royal Navy and more recently by the "Desert Rats" in Iraq.I prefer to wear this in the winter instead of a synthetic fleece, I find wool is much warmer and most fleeces have high necks which gets in my way. I like to layer my clothes under my Keela jacket.I ordered my actual size and that fits me fine. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/112243883-genuine-traditional-guernsey-jumper-from-the-channel-islands](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/112243883-genuine-traditional-guernsey-jumper-from-the-channel-islands) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
