Fashion

I find it doesn't look right with a collared shirt underneath - it's designed so that there is no front or back so you can imagine that it tends to ride higher (and wider) than a typical one.

Pretty much 100% sure that's from Le Tricoteur. I'm wearing mine right now, and in the modified form I love it.

I'm using mine with button down shirts sometimes and it does ride higher but I think it works, unless I'm a walking fashion faux pas... I can see it potentially looking odd with unbuttoned shirt collars as you might get one side stuck underneath the sweater collar

Maybe I just need to embrace that Channel aesthetic.

confirmed

So the neck is high? I like it like that, I’ll order one cheers.

Labour and wait seem pretty expensive if they’re the same as other sites https://guernseyjumpers.com/shop/?categoryid=6

Get it from the site you listed or I think they sell on eBay as well.
I like high neck jumpers, I just prefer them to be round instead of a pseudo boatneck.

For me the extra cost at labour and wait was worth it as I could try it out, but if you know your size go with the other

Just read "UK ORDERS WILL BE CHARGED VAT @ 20%" on https://guernseyjumpers.com/shop/?ItemId=36, so it's still cheaper but not as much

Do you happen to know their eBay store? I can only find pre owned

That ex vat pricing is annoying.

Still not really clear what’s wrong with the neck?

Mine was from eBay a few years back so they may not be on there anymore. The neck is a unique shape, might be best to go to Labour and Wait to try it out for yourself. It’s a fun store to wander around in regardless.

I didn't know it was even possible to spend that much on joggers!

£50 is the max for leg coverings in this house.

Valid! For what it's worth, their sweatshirt material is probably some of the best in the world, so when you feel like treating yourself...

I have five McCoy's sweat's/hoodies and they're without a doubt the best value for money pieces of clothing I own. They wear in beautifully. I've had one of these for going on four years now: https://www.realmccoyslondon.com/us/joe-mccoy-10oz-sweat-parka-grey.html

Every time it gets washed it comes out looking quite literally brand new. Has never lost it's shape, no loose stitches, wonderfully soft. Etc.

It all looks comfy as fuck. Maybe in another life I will get to feel such luxury!

what’s wrong with the neck?

nothing. It's a peculiar design though as it's the same front and back. This image is the best I could find that shows how my neck has become after wearing it

As you can see it sits slightly higher than a normal crew neck, but not much. There's also a slight fold in the front

I'm looking for an M65 jacket - having been inspired to wear it with jacket & shirt on a trip to Rome.

@tenderloin Unless you want a modern, slimmer interpretation of an M-65, you can't go wrong with the Buzz Rickson's M-65: https://www.buzzricksons.com/type-65-combat-jacket-p-139.html

As true to the original as you'll find. Also consider an M-43. Contact @bensleathergoodsco on instagram and see what he has. He's at Spitalfields every Thursday.

Scratch that. He's changed his name to @hangupvintage and now has a store on Cheshire St by the looks of things.

Cheers dude - reckon they’ll have the buzz Rickson at SoS or Real McCoys?

Might have it at SoaS. McCoy’s only sell McCoy’s. They do make an original spec M-65 but have none on their site anymore. Perhaps they still have some in store. Worth calling Clutch too as they stock both McCoy’s and Buzz.

Justin (@JD) will have loads of M65s at his warehouse, give him a tinkle...

Thanks I like that neck , I have a jumper like that already that I wear all the time

Those guys are killing it. Quite a look to pull off though, especially the first guy. Might be safer to experiment with cheap surplus version first. I think it’ll work best if the fabric is not too stiff.

Yeah - I’ve been rocking that look this spring (when dry) bold but think I’ve pulled it off.

I’ll look for something vintage to test the waters

Anyone out there own a Kapital ring coat ?
