Not the same model, if you're looking at thecorner. The black is oversized and merino. Not sure the knit is nice enough to justify the price.

I recently picked up a James Long knit that was on yoox, it's so nice. Hand made in GB, the knitting has a lot of the characteristics of the SS knits the diamond/scales pattern but it's considerably softer.

Also got the Andrea Pompilio hooded knit I posted a few pages back picked up a size larger because its all that was available so it fits a little oversized more of jacket that knitwear but for the thickness of the wool it's really nice and soft.

I like it, fits drapey and relaxed as expected. 70/30 wool/cashmere, very substantial and warm.

The sleeves are a little weird though, basically starts out super wide then tapers sharply as it gets to the cuff so it's like a giant triangle which is slightly restrictive.

I wish there was a black and white version of this. Exactly what I had in mind.

never understood how people seem to find deals (unless they don't) on yoox. seems to be sale graphic on the site now, but at times in the past, basically no systematic way of finding a deal unless you're looking for something specific and stumble upon it on sale

What?

Make an account on the site
When the new season collection comes in, go thru and dreambox everything that looks good
Check periodically til the stuff's at a reasonable price.

That said I've only ever found like two things I actually like and kept on yoox.

I think browsing yoox takes a lot of perseverance and time, which is why people like it, because you can end up getting great deals due to the fact that most people can't be bothered to wade through all the crap on that site.
