I'm looking for a few kick-ass sweaters for this fall/winter. Something warm and something I'd be able to wear over a t-shirt (=not scratchy!). I don't want anymore hoodies.

I like them, but unfortunately, I have to wear XS x2 from BR, which they don't have.

Check the dimensions on this Mr. Olive cardigan, http://shop.atsuitokyo.com/scripts/p...detail&SKU=765. This cardigan is one of the best pieces in our store right now, especially for the price with a SF discount. This could work and medium Mr. Olive may be a good fit. Comes in black as well.

We have some nice sweaters from Mr. Olive coming soon and we are starting to carry size small (keep in mind a Mr. Olive large is usually a US medium and sometimes a US small.)

Pringle can be a good buy at deep discount, but their stuff is generally overpriced given the quality. One of those brands that could go in the "trading on past glory" category.

Harder to find on discount (due to low production numbers and loyal fans) but absolutely worth the money at retail are John Smedley sweaters. You may need to look to the Asian market for your size, though--they tend not to carry anything below size small in Europe and North America.

+1 on John Smedley. def gets very little love here due to it being hard to get stateside, but their knitwear is tops, made in UK

Pringle mainline is still really good product, made in UK and uses top notch materials. The 1815 diffusion line is where the cost:quality ratio gets blurry. iirc Pringle is owned by a Chinese company nowadays as well, but the mainline is still UK born
