More Than a Sweater: The Story of Our Great American Sweater

Imagine a cool, salty breeze rolling in off the Atlantic. Picture a late-afternoon walk along the coast, the kind that fades into a perfect evening. What are you wearing?

For us, the answer has always been a comfortable, timeless sweater. Not just any sweater, but one that feels like it’s part of the coastal New England landscape itself. That’s the inspiration behind The Great American Sweater by Whalerknits—a garment that embodies classic style, unparalleled quality, and a deep commitment to our roots.

Styled by the Coast, Built for a Lifetime

True style isn’t fleeting; it’s timeless. The Great American Sweater is designed with a Classic Coastal New England Style that looks just as right today as it will decades from now. Its clean lines and comfortable fit make it a trusted companion for any occasion. Crafted from 100% Cotton, it’s soft, breathable, and feels like an old friend from the very first wear. This isn't just fashion; it's a piece of clothing meant to be woven into the fabric of your life, fashion that lasts a lifetime.

Proudly American, From Start to Finish

We believe that the best products are made with pride and purpose. That’s why every single one of our sweaters is Made in the USA. From the initial concept to the final stitch, the entire process happens right here. We knit, cut, and sew every garment in-house, which allows us an unmatched level of quality control.

More importantly, this commitment makes jobs right here in Fall River, MA. When you wear a Whalerknits sweater, you’re not just investing in a piece of clothing; you’re supporting American workers, their families, and the revival of our local textile industry.

The Secret in the Stitch

Here’s something you won’t find anywhere else: We build the machines that make this stitch. Really.

This isn't a gimmick. Our dedication to creating a truly superior garment goes so deep that we couldn’t find machines capable of producing the durable, unique stitch we envisioned. So, we built them ourselves. This obsessive attention to detail and engineering is what allows us to create a sweater so resilient and well-made that we can confidently say it’s Guaranteed for Life.

The Great American Sweater is more than just an item in your closet. It’s a story of American innovation. It’s a commitment to our community. And it’s a promise of quality that you can feel with every wear.
