"I always like wearing a Paul James sweater. I know it is quality and it suits me."
Named after Penryn, one of Cornwall’s oldest market towns, this jumper reflects a tradition of craftsmanship and enduring design. Knitted from 100% cotton, it offers breathable comfort and a versatile midweight feel, making it an easy layer for much of the year. The relaxed silhouette enhances everyday wearability.
Inspired by traditional gansey knitting, the jumper combines basket textures, argyle-inspired motifs and chevron structures arranged in horizontal blocks. Garter stitch bands separate each section, while a crew neck, French shoulder construction with textured seam detailing, and chunky rib trims complete this carefully crafted design.
