really nice piece, kind of an interesting fit.. baggy arms and low arm holes, kind of a generous body, but with a big taper at the waist. warm and comfy. I posted a fit pic with it in the WAYT thread Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

crewneck. pretty basic. i wouldn't wear it with nothing under it.

I've got the same Folk cardigan. We should go to Sears together and have some really creepy awesome pictures taken.

I think my favorite detail is that the letters F-O-L-K form the stitches that hold on the buttons.

it's slimmer than our legacy, price is a little bit higher, and quality is about the same. to me it's the best designed/looking of that weird nordic americana mid tier (norse projects, our legacy, etc). they had a really, really, really awesome hand-knit cardigan this season but it was $ and went fast in sales. im also regretting not picking up some of their pants. look nice.

Teger - I really like that crew neck. Who makes it?

EDIT: Missed above comment.

I'd just like to step in and say that I enjoyed the Mr. Porter discussion over the last couple of pages. Much better than the i2onnel talk over on WAYWT.

Also, I ended up going with the black gingham. It turns out that the fabric was sourced from Japan, which for some reason made me want it more. shog[1].gif

I have two of their S/S cardigans, fit is great but material used is a little thin. Nice detailing.
