The Ishmael

“Call me Ishmael.” And so begins the preeminent adventure narrative of the 19th century, and arguably the greatest American novel ever written. To honor Mr. Melville’s opus, and giant white whales everywhere, Bonobos is elated to offer the Ishmael, a new maritime-inspired shawl collar sweater. And while it may be ideal for a tumultuous jaunt aboard the Pequod with Captain Ahab, the Ishmael is equally suited for more land-lubbery occasions, both casual and formal. Made from heavy cotton yarn with that high shawl collar for extra warmth, this is one sweater that’s going to get some serious wear this cold-weather season. Great for dates on the town, perfect for lazy Sundays by the fireplace, ideal for reading a dog-eared favorite about high adventures on distant seas, the Ishmael is as versatile as it is winsome, as comfortably warm as it is nautically sharp.

Customer Reviews

Great fit. by James

As mentioned in the review next to mine, the sweater is a lot more beige than it appears in the photo. Not a bad thing. I'm of an average build, slightly athletic, so the Medium that I ordered fit perfectly on me. It also doesn't make me look too stuffy when I'm wearing a coat, which some of my other sweaters tend to do.

Nice, but not without flaws by Bob

First, the sweater is a LOT more beige than it looks in the photos. That's not a negative, necessarily, but it's something to be aware of. The fit for me is not great...I have broad shoulders and chest (48), so I needed an XL...it's a little snug through the chest, still, and unless you're overweight, you're going to find it's probably fuller around the waist than you'd like (I am a 38). It's not 'tight' around the bottom, it sort of hangs there. Not at all flattering. I don't dislike it enough to send it back, but I wouldn't buy another one.
