My New "MOTB" Cardigan Sweater
well, it's not exactly like the one in MOTB but i like it. maybe a good "close enough" for those who just wants a cardigan while they look for a more SA one?

it looks like they dont sell the brown one online, only the white, grey and black. Maybe it will show up in a while.

Nice sweater there.
Something similar that looks pretty nice. I like the notched collar.

I must be too dumb to find this, WHICH word exactly in the upper right is the "Settings"?
sorry about that. my fault. this is the page:
http://www.hm.com/se/?fromshop=true#/startpagedefault/
up on the right where it says "innstallningar" and then you press "Valj Land" on the pop-up box

Thank you, CJ!
And allow me to say, I think you just may be THE most stylin' dresser here at C.O.W.
You get MY vote, anyway...
Because I'm serious when I say that after I that first photo you posted at the top of the thread, I want(ed) to know:
1. Where did he get that cardigan? (Which you've now been kind enough to share)
2. Where did he get that great jacket/blazer?
even...
3. Where did he get that tie?
So, any info you'd like to share (ESPECIALLY where you got the jacket) would be MOST appreciated!
All the Best,
Mitch

sure Mitch.
1) oh wait! as you said, you already know that.
2) the jacket is actually also from H&M. i bought it back in 2005 and i've worn it often since then. Getting a bit distressed and such but i just can't part from it.
it's a black corduroy blazer so it's nice to have in cold days.
3)the tie i got in 2003 when i was in Indonesia. a tailor made it for me.
and thanks for the compliments Mitch
high regards

i've only seen them in black and grey (the single-breasted cardigans from H&M)
but have you seen this? (as posted in another thread):
http://www.duluthtrading.com/search/sea ... w=cardigan#
it looks closer to the one in MOTB but your wallet will have to go through a little "extreme makeover liposuction".

A most beautiful cardigan, CJ! Congratualtions on this find and thanks a lot for sharing it with us! And it looks well - I can only hope, it'd fit me as good as it seems to fit you.
I just searched the next H&M shop only to find out they indeed offer the very same cardigan over here as well ... unfortunately not in brown, but only in black, white or grey.
I'll have a look into their international offers it seems - I really dug the double breasted sweater. Thanks again.

that's strange. did you ask the people who work there if they have it in brown?
All the H&M stores i've been through are just a big mess when trying to find things. when you are looking for a spesific clothing and you know it comes in different colors, all the different colors may be spread all over the store.
i knew about the white, black and grey for a while. i never saw a brown one but suddenly one day there it was and i thought "what? Brown??? Mine!! Joink!"
the brown might be the newest color and in your country, they havent started to offer it yet. i dont know.

This afternoon I stopped by the H&M store in the Brea Mall in Brea, California. They had the double-breasted Cardigan in brown--two Smalls, four or five Mediums, and at least one Extra Large. Unfortunately, as I suspected, the double-breasted just didn't look right on me.Chiliana Jones wrote:that's strange. did you ask the people who work there if they have it in brown?
They did have the single-breasted version, but only in black and grey. When I asked the young, apathetic sales girl about whether or not they were available in brown and/or if one could be ordered for me, she shrugged it off and told me, "We get what we get from the distributor," and left it at that, clearly disinterested and unwilling to look into it further. Unfortunately I was supposed to be meeting with friends, so I didn't have time to discuss it with the store manager.
BTW, they're currrently selling them for $49.95 USD.
Note: For anyone within reasonable distance of the Brea Mall, because of the local fires I'd wait for a few days before attempting to visit the H&M there.
Boy, you aren't kidding! The store I visited today was a disorganized mess. The selection of women's clothing was three to four times the size of the selection of men's clothing, and the only mirrors in the men's section are in the changing rooms. Items were hung on the racks with little semblance of organization, as though customers had been picking through the stock for weeks and none of the staff thought to put things back where they belonged. And, as I mentioned above, the staff members I spoke with seemed bored, unclear about their duties, and had no concept of customer service.Chiliana Jones wrote:All the H&M stores i've been through are just a big mess when trying to find things. when you are looking for a spesific clothing and you know it comes in different colors, all the different colors may be spread all over the store.

Hey if anyones has an interest in the ROOTS.COM
Cardigan in the color Camel, there having a
Turkey Day special. 30% off. Takes you below the
free delivery charge, but still a great savings.
My wife pulled the trigger for me as a X-mas present.
98.00 less discout= 68.60+6.00 (S+H) = 74.60. Not bad.

now I return to the regular thread, which by the way is one nice stylin Caridigan, love that double breasted look.

i just got back from a trip to Barcelona and while there, me and a friend of mine stop'd by a H&M store there because he liked my cardigan so much he wanted one too.
inside the store there were just the 3 cardigans (black,white and grey) on a table. the brown one was hangin somewhere else in the store.
my friend bought the brown one and then he was looking for a similar jacket as the one i have
so if you cant find the brown one with the others, look somewhere else in the store ;-)

I might point you guys to this thread:
viewtopic.php?p=521943#521943
Certainly what's posted above is a nice, modern version of the MOTB sweater, but is definitely not SA. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess...
