I just bought the L

Let us know when it comes in.

I'm interested in the thickness of the sweater.

I bought one of the Old Navy ones last year and was disappointed how "chintzy" they were.

Yep. I bought a couple at the same time. They pill faster than you can say, 'pill faster.' =o\

I originally went to the store in the mall, and found the sale was for online only. But I had the chance to try it on, not a very thick cardigan by any stretch, but will do for a CS.
I'll post pic's when it comes in, just don't get mad cause they'll probably be to big. Photobucket distorts the pic when you adjust it to the required 640x480. Any one else having this issue and has found the solution.

Croft

I'll have to look at that, I've always uploaded, edit, resize. Didn't realize I could do this before the upload. Learn something new every day I always say. Thanks Tundraider.

Croft

we'll give it a try tomorrow night, thanks my friend for the tip.

Croft

Has anyone bought the Duluth one? The photo looks thick.

Why does this one have to be so expensive?

The picture of the model wearing that AE sweater seems to make it look sort of thin. I would not mind that since we do not have very cold winters down here in SC...

It wasn't very thick, it's scheduled to show tomorrow night, so I'll post more pic's then and give an over all revied.
personally I don't like em to thick as it'll feel bulky under the leather jacket.

we'll see how it does when it cools down, which it's doing these day up here in NH

Croft

First off, a big thank you to Tundraider, I see what you were talking about, about putting the size in the settings for size.
Now we'll see how it works.

Ok, my review, it's a A O.K. cardigan, not heavy, I went with a L cause my stomach tends to stretch it at the buttons.
I rolled once at the cuffs.
Color I like and so far is my closest SA, you'll see in the last photo my collection, few browns/tans and two grey, hey I gotta have something to wear with my grey fedora.
We'll have to see how it pills, praying for only a small amount as my tan Banana Republic pilled dreadfully. By the way, does anyone know how to get rid of em.
Label says 100% cotton, and the weave isn't tight, nor to loose.
Feels comfortable, but I was wearing it in 70deg weather.

Here's the pic's. Outside.

Croft, that looks sharp!!

I like the color the best of your collection. Very nice.

Is that a wested hero? Looks like the dark lamb?

Nice setup!! Love the gear!!

Guess I'm headed to AE this week!

Regards,
Sean

Well Iwent in and adjusted it to the 640x480, and as you can see when I changed the top pic only, now it looks squatish, and I just don't know.

Croft

ps sorry mods

I have the Duluth one and it is almost too warm to wear with the jacket. Great sweater though. I have never been disappointed by anything Duluth.

Ah yes, Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the dead of winter. A real balmy spot for sure.

Regards! Michaelson

I live in CO, so it stay a balmy 35 during the day and sunny most of the time. The Duluth sweater is lined so you stay pretty toasty in it. I may order one of the thinner ones for cold days here

Be glad none of ya'll live in Marylandistan! Its in the high 80s-90s all summer with humidity well into the reaches of "FISH TANK". We dont go by percents. Its either dry (70%) sticky (80%) or fish tank awful (90%+). In the winter we can get buried in snow and freeze our buns off. Or it can be 60 in January and confuse every living creature around. Ive seen my box turtles come out of hibernation and look at me with a confused "what the heck is happening" look. Indygear is tough to wear here from April-September because of the oppressive humidity. I dont wanna stink up my jackets. But nice links, some of that looks like good stuff.

Gosh I cant wait til we move to CO next year.

I hear ya, ChrisMD. Up here in NH, we have some of that ol humidity too. But I like it, reminds me of that time in Puru.

Seriously though, I still wear my hat every day, no mater the weather.
And this sweater will be nice and perfect under my US Wing SL lamb.

I'm in Delaware - and this is an absolutely apt description of the weather here!!!

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

Nice one.

The AE is on sale, sizes are limited, but I have to say this has been a nice sweater to wear this winter.

Can't argue with the price on the AE! How are the sizes?

Happy New Year!

Excuse my ignorance....but is this something that Indy actually wore ? Or just a nice sweater ?

Gotcha guess that gives me an excuse to buy my self a sweater hah

michaeljcr wrote:

I typically take a size M, but the L fit better, buttons didn't stretch like they did with the M.
I was fortunate to see these when they first came out, so I was able to try them on in the store.

It's worth the effort to pick one up, as it's a very good close enough.
While the Duluth looks to an awesome sweater, I'd be concerned with wearing in doors, I wear mine all day long when the building I'm in has that cold feel to it.
Croft

Oh and Merry New Year.

Thanks Croft! I might go XXL rather than XL.

Chuck,

Magnoli carries both the (LC) Officer's Tie and (MOTB) Wyoming scarf in addition to the cardigan.

Thanks! hopefully the wait time isn't to long for them to be made would like to wear it this winter. Any one have any pictures showing the brown vs the dark brown ?

Well I braved the sub zero weather today to take some pic MOTB style, same AE sweater, only difference there's snow in the back ground.

Any way photo bucket wouldn't up load. oh well, I'll try again tomorrow.

Brrrrrr! Throw another log on the fire, Croft!

Wore my Magnoli Wyoming Cardigan a few times over the holidays. I've had it since the fall of 2009.





This is the dark brown.

Awesome I think the dark brown looks closer to whats in the show....Saw some pics from magnoli on an older thread of the regular brown...looks way to light. So I think Im going to go with the dark brown

Indiana Jeff wrote:Indiana Jeff

Perfect fit , ideal length which is pretty hard to find with of the rack knitted cardigans. This pic really vouches for MC bespoke garments !

Thanks. When I placed my order I gave Mags the length of my Wested and said specifically I wanted the cardigan to be shorter so it wouldn't hang out the bottom of my jacket.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

I went to buy the American Eagle version, but sadly the postage to the UK is nearly twice the sale price of the cardigan. For £45 and change, plus possible customs charges, I may hold out for a home grown version.

Ah well...

Put my order in for the Magnoli cardigan and scarf....should be done in about a month according to indy

Outstanding!

Magnoli's is the primo cardigan, all others are just close enoughs, unfortunately my budget is only good for the close enough.
Indy's price's went up on these awhile back and their was lead time issues, so I had to pass. Really wanted one of those.

Yeah, and to add insult to injury, Duluth's is on clearance but is no longer available in Large.

And the Medium is only available in navy.

Just got my scarf today. Really warm and comfortable, which will come in handy this coming week since its going to be in the teens. Hopefully my sweater will be coming towards the start of next month

Went out and had the misses take some pic's today what with the snow we just got, but when I try to upload to photobucket, they won't upload, I just get the circle thing just spinning around.
I've tried different things, but no luck. Has anyone else had any issues.
Uploaded the pictures from work, so I know it's my computer blocking it.

Any way, here's couple pictures Indy style and MOTB. Enjoy.

So, what's the best 'close-enough' that's currently available? The links in this thread are obsolete/sold out/etc.

I can't afford a Magnoli, but it'd be nice to get something soon - it's COLD out there.

I have other sweaters, including a nice 'Indy-esque' pullover (nothing special, I just like it and it goes nicely with my Wested) but I'm ready to upgrade to something more screen-accurate without breaking the budget.

BTW, Croft, those are some good-looking pictures! Looks like fun!

I can see the that the AE is sold out in L (on line) but you might want to try a local store, ya never no.
I was going to snag another L, but I waited to long.

The AE is the first one I came across that was reasonably priced as was close enough.

And thanks, I love it when I can get the misses out to help in my obsession. Her camera is far better and she can do the multiple shots, so I can pick the best shots. It's fun.

Not sure what you had going on there, Croft, but I hope you don't mind a helping hand?

If your referring to how my pic's posted to the right, not sure why it did that. But any helping hand, sure.

But if your referring to something else, what helping hand do you mean.
