I've been searching for these for years. Sweater vests anyway. No one seems to make them. I tried to arrange a group purchase, through another website. We found a maker who would knit them to our specs if we could guarantee 20 orders. I don't think we got past 17.

How deep a 'V' are we talking about? I have a couple from John Smedley that are cut fairly wide and deep, I'd say.

Smedley are deep V - mine would definitely show 2-3" of tie if I wore it with a tie
My Barbera cashmere v-necks are deep but not as much as the Smedley, they but would probably show 2" of tie

The Smedleys are about the deepest 'V' necks that I've found, in quite some time.

Oh. Well, that deep a 'V' I have not seen. Not for a long time, if ever. Many women's sweaters are cut that way these days.

I was one of the 17. Maybe if the thread was revived now we'd get the three remaining people needed?

Those John Swedley's seem perfect for me. Are they online anywhere or at major department stores?Originally Posted by kitano

The knot, plus 2-3". So, in all, 5-6" of tie. It's been a while since I tried on a Smedly, but I found them to be too long, too slab-sided, and the V was too high. Not what I'm looking for. I want something like this:Originally Posted by Manton
I have a few vintage Ballantynes with a similar V. They show a lot of tie. I'm not sure if modern Ballantyne is cut this low...

I have seen a friend wear a really deep v that stretched all the way to almost the bottom of the pecs. I've been looking for a similar sweater since...I saw a cashmere sweater like that in MUJI once, however it was the last one left and came in the wrong size. I've never ever seen any since then though

I don't think the Smedley vees are as deep as Manton was/is looking for.
Louise Irvine can have them knitted to spec but they'd be Shetlands. Shetland wool is adequate for under tweed but probably not for a worsted.
