Looks good, can't justify it just now though, sadly, as I just bought a Harris Wool roll-neck from Aero.

Hi,
I have chosen the same material (Black sheep).



original picture from the shop - the color of my cardigan is a nice brown.

The matching buttons I have ordered from the Onlineshop "Nähstübl" (just ask Google for the address).

Made with real leather..

It's sweater season.

Woolrich has a nice looking cotton version. http://www.woolrich.com/woolrich/detail ... /_/R-13049" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Reviews have complaints about the buttons, but that's not a hard fix.

Living in FL does have its drawbacks. No Fall like up North where I grew up and sweater season here is pretty short lived. Probably why I will not get a leather jacket till I move.

I'd still recommend at least getting a lambskin jacket.

I worked/lived in Tallahassee for 3 years and even wore a cowhide in winter with no issues at all.

Regard! Michaelson

I am sure I will at some point. I remember saying I would never get a pair of pants or boots.

Another shawl cardigan for your shopping pleasure, and it comes in brown.

It looks like all that is left is the Small size. Bummer....

Was Indy's cardigan ribbed or knit? Anyone know?
Thanks

A new option, currently on sale. Not sure why it won't let you select a size, though.

Isn't ribbing just a different type of pattern in knitting?

Ribbing tends to give you the lined look instead of the smooth look. I'm pretty sure the cuffs and trim of the cardigan had a type of ribbing.... but other than that I'm not sure.

My wife knits but I am a novice. I'm sure Magnoli could answer this.

Weird. Maybe because it is on clearance so there is only one size? Would be good to know what that one size is.

Or, it is currently out of stock and hasn't been removed from the site.

Definitely off season topic.... but has anyone purchased the WPG cardigan? It looks pretty top notch even if it's not SA.

My search has come to a close after several years thanks to Temple Runner's recommendation.

'Must-have' MOTB features that hit the mark for me on this one are the true brown color, ribbed knit, chunky shawl, and waist length.

'Nice to haves' are the reasonable price, lightweight alpaca blend, and hey, it's Peruvian. Since it's a roomy drop-shoulder style, remember that it's going under a jacket so pay close attention to the measurements in the listing.

When the eBay link eventually expires, the listing's title is (make sure to adjust the clothing size as needed):

NEW Mens SIZE M ALPACA Brown Ribbed Shawl Collar Cardigan Sweater PERU

by eBay seller pensantesales AKA The Alpaca Store

Mine just arrived today, along with the scarf, and it is PERFECT! I double-checked the measurements and medium was the best option for my size. I've never worn a cardigan before in my life, but it's very comfy! I did a quick costume fitting with my Wested novapelle, fedora, and the scarf, and everything layers together quite well, although my CS jacket is too short for the cardigan. But my forthcoming LC Hero should fall at just the right length for the MotB look.




Thanks for the awesome recommendation, Temple Runner!

Getting close to that time once again for some of us. haven't been able to find anything though.

I've been looking at the ones listed above from evil-bay.
Any who has one size M
From the shoulder seam to the cuff (rolled up as they are typically worn) how many inches
And from seam on back to the bottom.
I can measure against existing and make sure its not to big
I typically wear a M / size 40 jacket

I wear a size 42 jacket and bought a large. I do not have the means to measure at the moment (I will reply later), but I can say the Large cardigan is a bit big. I would go with a medium, especially since you are a size 40 jacket.

This thread details my cardigan, with a picture, too (size 42 jacket, large sized cardigan): viewtopic.php?f=16&t=68280&hilit=+cardigan

Thank sir.
This looks to be the direction I’ll be trying, burrrrr, can’t believe it’s fall already.
