LASTLONG TANK
……….……….……….

A light and airy addition to the Lastlong Collection, this classic tank is designed for fingering weight yarns - which, combined with fisherman’s rib and a relaxed gauge, gives it exceptional drape and fluidity. Try it in a linen or silk blend for a gorgeously cooling summer top, or in a rustic wool as a cozy yet practically weightless layering piece.

A play on words that speaks to the enduring mythologies of fishermen’s garments, lastlong means cargo ship in Irish Gaelic.
