The Duke of Windsor’s Fair Isle knitwear

May 3, 2014 by Ville Raivio

“I suppose the most showy of all my garments was the multicoloured Fair Isle sweater, with its jigsaw of patterns, which I wore for the first time while playing myself in as Captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews in 1922. Its consequent widespread popularity brought some relief, I like to think, to many a Hebridean crofter family.”
