Am I misunderstanding something here? SNS Herning wants you to pay another $66 for the sweater after you already paid the retail price on it?

First of all - are you sure that you weren't just paying customs? When you buy from across the pond, that happens.

Second of all - Skyt strikvarer (Søren Nielsen Skyt was the founder, right) is the name of the company. They used to have more than one brand. They had one called "Skyt" for instance, which mainly made knitwear for women. But I think Skyt has been put to rest now, and everything has been collected under the SNS Herning name.
Skyt strikvarer (SNS) even made private label stuff for some workwear companies making rib cuffs and so on for jackets and they did some for the Danish army and the Danish prison personal.

Wasn't customs, but I did just get an email from SNS saying that there must have been a mistake in shipping and the check would not be cashed

i'm thinking about picking up the fisherman's rollneck, and tres bien provided me with these measurements:

size L
Chest (pit to pit): 53 cm
Shoulder: 15 cm
Length back: 69 cm

size XL
Chest (pit to pit): 57 cm
Shoulder: 15,5 cm
Length back: 71 cm

hopefully that helps someone else!

Hi guys,

I was thinking about ordering the Stark cardigan from either CHCMshop or Tres Bien Shop, since they are the only two places that sell the Tag Brown color I want. If you know any other let me know. I wanted to order from Tres Bien since they are cheaper and was wondering what your experience has been regarding duties/taxes when ordering from the US.

Thanks,
