The Byron Jumper in burgundy takes its name from poet and revolutionary George Gordon Byron, known simply as Lord Byron.There are many local connections to Lord Byron and in the villages surrounding the Stanley Biggs Studio; his ancestral home being a few miles away atNewstead Abbey and his final resting place in nearby Hucknall. His reputation was such, that 145 years after his death a memorial was finally placed in 'Poets Corner' in St Paul's Cathedral.Ganseys (or ‘Guernseys’) are steeped in maritime history.Known as the 'fishersmans jumper', they were an integral and invaluable item of clothing for sailors and fishermen, especially those who were based along the Eastern Coast of the UK.Our ganseys have dropped shoulders and a traditional square stand-up collar, with a unique detail on the shoulders.
