Back when I used to sail, I crewed for one of the owners of Dean Sweaters, and he punched me in the head because the spinaker didn't go up exactly the way he wanted it to in the middle of a race. Being a young boy of fifteen, I responded non-violently and asked him to take me ashore immediately. This is my experience of Dean's Sweaters.

I never heard of this trend & I grew up in the 70s. Was it called anything else?

Very popular in New England. When we weren't wearing hippy clothes, or running around in barn jackets with turtlenecks and hiking boots, we Vermont college girls wore Dean's sweaters. Lucious colors, soft wools with a Fair Isle yoke.

I was the designer for Dean's under the elder E.S. and his son Bob. It was the son that ran it into the ground. Most likely the on Dave raced with. E.S. was a terrific man who came over from Scotland and founded the company.

The sweaters were beautiful. I just asked if anyone could come up with one for my birthday. Do we know if someone owns the rights to the name and style anymore. They are truly beautiful - and most importantly, they actually fit with out being boxy or to tight. Bring them back!
