There’s nothing quite like a thick cotton fisherman sweater. I’ve been on the hunt for one for years… Either they’re too drapey/trendy/not-classic-enough or too stiff/thick/classically made.
The super-traditionally-made fisherman sweaters (I’m looking at you, L.L. Bean) are amazing…but…as much as I break mine in and wear it around, it just hasn’t softened up. While my L.L. Bean fisherman sweater will last forever, and I adore the texture, stitching and classic ivory color, it’s just not something I grab all the time to live in, as I’d hoped.
So when I found Quince’s cotton fisherman sweater you know I had to try it out, especially at the price tag of $40 bucks, friends. Looking at it online, it checked all my boxes…classic fisherman ribbed pattern, 100% cotton, thick weight… But I needed to try it on for softness…
Quince’s Organic Cotton Fisherman Sweater Is The Perfect Catch
And guess what? It’s a winner, folx.
Not only is it the classic look of a well-made fisherman sweater, but the Quince sweater is super soft without being too thin or drape-y. Score. It smacks of similar but higher-priced sweaters like Jenni Kayne but for a literal fraction of the price. I’ve linked some additional similar options at the end of the post in case you’ve also been eyeing up Jenni Kayne sweaters but can’t justify the price tag.
The Quince sweater has a great weight to it without being too hot or heavy. It’s getting hot in here in this bod of mine these days, and especially in our temperate climate in the PNW — I will be wearing these cotton sweaters more often than my warmer options for a few years I think. (But, gah, if you are looking for cashmere, the shrunken sweatshirt and the Mongolian fisherman are GORG and under $100!)
Sizing: I went with a medium in the Quince sweater and love the slightly oversized fit (without it being hugely oversized). The small could be my size for a more fitted look, but I’m loving that the medium fits me like a cozy sweatshirt. So, stick to your true size for a regular fit or size up for that oversized chunky-knit sweater look.
I love this sweater so much that I just got it in camel too! It comes in quite a few great neutrals and a couple of bright colors, as well. Here I’m wearing blue — this color looks brighter on the Quince site than it does in real life. How it appears here is truer. It’s not too bright, not too muted.
See It Styled Sporty: You can see it on me here with my red wide-leg Athleta pants plus Diadora high-top sneakers for a colorful outfit combo.

I’ve been so impressed by the Quince products I’ve purchased over the last year, that I rounded them up for you here with a few notes on each.
The customer service has also been really great. I had a silk PJ top get a hole at one of the seams and Quince credited my entire purchase even though I’d been wearing the PJs for months. I keep purchasing more and more items thanks to the incredible price points and the lovely feel of the fabrics.
Quince Faves & Others I Want To Try Out
Here are some of the things from Quince I already own (and love) and a few more things I’m planning to order in the next few months. I’m wearing the Mongolian cashmere fisherman sweater in a recent reel I did for our Instagram.
If you have any Quince faves I haven’t tried out yet, please let me know! I also have and love their comforter and its super cozy and luxe feeling.
