Find the Ribbed Knit Sweater for Men You’ll Reach For Time and Time Again at Aran Sweater Market!

There’s a reason ribbed knit sweaters remain a staple in men’s wardrobes: they’re simple, structured, and easy to throw on without ever looking underdressed.

The ribbed texture adds visual intrigue, while also helping the sweater hold its shape, wear after wear. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or picking out a gift for that special guy in your life, you can’t go wrong. It’s the kind of knit that never goes out of style.

But the truth is, not all ribbed sweaters are created equal. Knit too loosely, and they stretch out. Use low-quality yarn, and they feel itchy or wear thin. The good news? Your search for the best wool sweaters for men ends here at Aran Sweater Market.

We understand that making a ribbed knit sweater for men that lasts (and still feels good to wear) takes real craftsmanship. This is something we’ve been doing for decades - making sweaters the right way, using natural materials and time-tested techniques.

These garments are made in Ireland, using 100% natural wool (usually Merino wool) so you get an unparalleled blend of softness and resilience. Each sweater is built to stretch and recover, giving you that snug but flexible fit that moves with your body.

The ribbing doesn’t just look good, it also helps the garment retain warmth, sit close to the skin, and stay comfortable through repeated wear. Every one of our Irish wool sweaters is backed by a Certificate of Authenticity, so you know you’re getting something real.

From collar to cuff, every stitch is intentional. These ribbed knit sweaters for men are designed to stand up to wear, layer comfortably, and age gracefully over time. They’ll never fall out of your rotation. Order yours today and see what makes Aran Sweater Market one of a kind!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ribbed sweaters warmer than regular knits?

They do tend to be warmer than flat knits because the texture traps heat closer to the body. The structure also provides more stretch and shape retention, so they’re great for layering in colder months.

What wool do you use for your men’s ribbed sweaters?

We use 100% natural wool, most commonly Merino wool, because it’s soft, breathable, and doesn’t overheat. It’s comfortable against the skin and naturally resists odours and wrinkles.

Do ribbed sweaters stretch out over time?

Low-quality ribbed knits might lose their shape, but ours are knit with tension in mind to avoid this. Wool’s natural elasticity, combined with careful rib construction, lets the sweater stretch with you but go back to its original shape after wear.

What’s the best way to care for a ribbed wool sweater?

Hand wash in cold water with a wool-safe detergent. Gently reshape and lay flat to dry. Don’t wring or hang the sweater — this can distort the ribbing slowly but surely.

Can I wear a ribbed sweater to work or a casual event?

Absolutely. Our ribbed knit sweaters for men are clean and structured. They’re easy to dress up or down. Wear one with chinos for work, or throw it over a T-shirt for a casual weekend outing. The possibilities are endless!
