Thanks for your patience everyone. The sweaters are now available online. If anyone needs a hand with anything, or more thorough measurements just give me a shout.


4HS Custom Hand Knit Sweater Denim Blue


4HS Custom Hand Knit Sweater Moss Green

can we get detailed measurements on 36 and 38? trying to avoid a super tight cardigan.

pit to pit
length
arm width
etc

thanks! the green looks delicious. wow, looks like the 36-38 is sold out in grey already too.
nm, you already answered the pit to pit and length. but is it 23 or 24? and also the arm width would be awesome!

Hey Poly,

Here are measurements on the 36 and 38 both in Moss:

Sz.36
chest - 19
length - 24.75
sleeve width at armpit - 7
sleeve width at cuff - 4

Sz.38
chest - 20
length - 26
sleeve width at armpit - 7.25
sleeve width at cuff - 4.5

I believe both of these have been tried on which does make a bit of a difference, also it looks like the Moss may actually be running a bit bigger than the Denim, but it shouldn't be enough to warrant a whole size. If you are on the fence and don't want something to slim, i think it's pretty safe to size up.

yeah, denim blue in 38 sold out within the first 10 minutes

edit: as of right now it looks like it's back up, so it's your size go get it

FUCK THE MOSS GREEN SOLD OUT IN 36!!

denim blue sweater's in, like Guy said this thing is ridiculously heavy. color's great too, sort of a "steel blue/grey" in my humble opinion and definitely wearable with denim. if i get a chance i'll snap some pics.

@Guy: any reason why the knitting company isn't found anywhere on this year's sweater?

can I get measurements for a size small in that red creep quilted hunting shirt?

I got my sweater too. It's soft (much softer than inverallan) and thick, but I am a little disappointed that there are snagged threads all over the garment.

Pics please

damn man, i thought mine was an isolated case so i didn't bring it up.. i have some snagged threads for one of my buttons

hmmm, at first I thought it was maybe just my sweater and an isolated accident/flaw, but then i found like 5 or 6 snagged threads throughout the sweater. It's not a deal breaker, but a bit annoying.

EDIT: Actually, the snagged threads are even noticeable when worn. maybe I'm just being too picky, but my inverallan sweater is flawless. I think I might return this one =/

It was a mutual decision between us and the manufacturers to treat the sweaters more like a private label product. They are knit by the same people as last year in Vancouver.

I know we've already spoken via email, but i should address this for others too. These sweaters are made of extremely coarse wool and have a fairly loose weave to them, both of which contribute to pretty quick and noticeable pilling. This is simply one of the characteristics of this type of knitting and shouldn't be viewed as a fault. I sometimes forget that people living outside of the North West aren't used to seeing actual old Cowichan sweaters all the time. These sweaters sit at the opposite end of the spectrum from something like machine knit cashmere. As for actual snags, like any knit, these are definitely susceptible to them and it's something to be conscious of when wearing one of these sweaters. There shouldn't be any visible snags on a brand new sweater, so if there are contact us immediately and we will sort you out. Thankfully most snags are a pretty easy fix.

Even with moderate care these sweaters should hold up for most of a lifetime.

Here you go man.

Chest - 20
Shoulders - 17
Sleeve - 25
Length - 28

Let me know if you need anything else.

For what it's worth, this is probably an extremely isolated case with regard to me. Guy has been extremely gracious and positive in all our communications, and I hope I did not come off as bashing the product. For anyone on the fence or considering a sweater, I would definitely get one. The color (denim blue) is gorgeous and the product photo does not do it justice, and for a thick wool sweater it is extremely soft (makes inverallan sweaters feel like brillo pads in comparison).

thank you! won't work for me, but I appreciate the fast response.
