^I added in the notes section of the order form that my preference is "muff," otherwise, "laghey" is fine

I really do not think "laghey" has that much red. A good contrast to the darker gray. I considered all the other donegals closely and much prefer a more subtle color with interesting contrast (strands of orange and red in the laghey).
Everything else is very bland IMO unless you are looking for a particular hard color like sand, light gray, red, blue, etc. I personally would not be able to get as much wear out of the "malin" color, and despite "muff" being almost black, I consider the charcoal with twists of purple/violet enough of a contrast and more subdue.

"Laghey" is pretty traditional blend of colors if I am not mistaken for this type of knit. I have seen it elsewhere before. I was highly considering the blue or red donegals but the contrast is too much for me, and I rather wear a blue jacket than a knit cardigan.

Seriously though, if you have to size up your jacket, for it to fit, you will look like you borrowed your dads jacket when not wearing the knit underneath.

Long 6A should I go no buttons, 1, 2, or 3 buttons, or standard 6? I will be getting a belt too. Also, no more muff donegal.

I think it'd be cool with 6, 2 or no buttons.

I know the best answer but I'm curious what will be decided and will await the final product.

anyone have a good guess how many skeins of yarn are in a 3a or 6a? obviously different based on size...but for simplicity's sake, let's say a 38?

Dude, it's cheaper to custom order, you gotta drop your price more if you want anyone to buy

I just received an Inverallan x Inventory exclusive black dyed 3A cardigan. I love it. Got a size medium, or 40. It's just a liiittle bit too big in the arms and body, length is good. Are there any good ways to get knitted cardigans like these a little bit tighter?
