Brand new William Lockie x Epaulet Donegal Sweater, Oxford Gray with Multi-colored Flecks.
This sweater is tagged 42, but Epaulet calls it a size 40. The Epaulet website notes that the fit for these sweaters is based on a model for the Japanese market that is 1 size below standard Epaulet sizes, hence the tagged size (42) being slightly bigger than the actual size (40).
I wear a medium in Epaulet shirts, although they can be just a bit snug on me. This sweater fits me, but it's a bit snug. I'd call it a "slim fit medium." I've decided it's just a hair small.
$99 shipped in continental USA, PM me for elsewhere.
Here's more info from the Epaulet website:
"The venerable William Lockie & Co. of Scotland. has hand-crafted some of the finest sweaters on the world since their start in 1874. Their factory sits in Hawick, the traditional home of Scottish knitwear. The shape on offer is a simple and basic crewneck body. It's versatile, timeless, and effortless to wear on a cool day. But the yarn is anything but basic.
These gorgeous marled donegal yarns are unlike anything we've seen. The surfaces are marled and flecked with a complexity that sets it apart from the pack. Woven in Scotland and sourced from the Australian Geelong Sheep, its long fibers are strong, soft, and very warm. In Scotland, it's considered a step in quality above merino - the kind of yarn that imparts a true "heirloom" level of luxury.
The shape is a simple and basic crewneck body. It's versatile, timeless, and effortless to wear on a cool day. The ground is a perfect dark navy, and ivory white flecks stand out in lovely contrast against it."
